Replying to: bksward (Aug 21, 2008 5:58 pm) I also really do not like the ad campaign for these things, touting it as a car for that mysterious common-as-hens-teeth demographic of ultra-successful young entrepreneurs. Most TSX I see around here are driven by middle aged women. Blaoting up the car and making it chromey won't make the 3/C/IS/G set run to it, nor those who "start a business, sell it, and buy another" who probably drive Ferraris, Porsches and the like.. |

Replying to: andys120 (Aug 24, 2008 7:55 am) I also saw a new style A4 last night...I give it a year before LED running lights become as much of a cliche as fender vents. |
|
...or is there actually going to be a BMW M3 with a V-8?

Replying to: lemko (Aug 25, 2008 4:53 am) Yep, a 4 liter one, I think. I'm sure it's faster, but it seems like they're leaving some history/character/whatever behind. Kind of like when Saab stopped selling hatchbacks.

Replying to: texases (Aug 25, 2008 5:54 am) I agree with you but given the gas price situation I'll bet the next M3 is more like the current 335i (turbo 6) than the current M3.  The twin turbo 135i is quite the little rocket, nearly as fast as the new M3. |

| I saw a white new M3 a few minutes ago, and as a strange coincidence a black late 80s M3 also drove by. | |

I look in my rearview and see what looks like an A-M V8 Vantage coming up, a second look reveals that it is in fact a Jaguar XK, when he passed me I noticed two things, the driver and passenger were in their late 70s or early 80s and the car wore a small "R-Type" badge (performance model). This was a great looking car, better looking than photos. It looks too much like an Aston but those are, after all, some of the best looking cars out there. Once you realize that there will never again be a car as beautiful as the Series I E-Type, you can accept the XK-R as the beautiful car it is. BTW, it was a silver coupe.

| Spotted a black Mercedes-Benz S550 on my way to work this morning. It was driven by a very casually dressed older man wearing a baseball cap. | |

This was funny - we drove by a Smart dealer the other day and did *NOT* see any Smarts. We did not go inside but I guess they have none in stock. Perhaps you have to get on a wait list? The lot was full of big Benzes.

|
| Any by the way I'm finally starting to see a few of these. They're not popping up like the MDX when it was launched, though, so I bet sales are down. | |
