I've seen a couple of new style Maseratis lately...I swear, that company must invest more in exhaust tuning than some companies put into their entire cars. They sound amazing.
#5306 of 5314 Spotted... by lemko Nov 30, 2009 (8:13 am)
Ferrari F430 on Terwood Road in Montgomery County near Willow Grove, PA.     I looked it up and it appears 2009 is the last year this model is being produced.
#5307 of 5314 doesn't compare with a ferrari by qbrozen Nov 30, 2009 (8:37 am)
but I spotted a 2010 Stang on the road. Was driving alongside it, in front of it, and behind it for many many miles on the Parkway. Seeing the original pics prior to its release, I didn't think it would be easily distinguishable from the outgoing model. But I see now I was wrong. I immediately identified it and could see how different it actually is from every angle.
#5308 of 5314 Accord Crosstour by ateixeira Nov 30, 2009 (9:11 am)
Saw this at a dealership, went just out of curiosity.   It looks a little less ugly in person, still not attractive by any stretch. It just looks like a pregnant Accord. Not really crossover-ish like the Venza, not as raised up as an Outback.   There's only 31" between the wheel wells, hard to believe for such a large vehicle. Outback is a whole foot wider there. They really sacrificed cargo room plus 1500 lbs towing really limits the utility.   Blind spots are pretty bad for lane changes. Backing up is fine, as it has that Insight-style mini-window under the rear hatch.   Interior is decent enough, pretty much Accord.   EX-L with Navi stickered for $37k, ouch.   I still bet they sell a bunch of 'em.

Went to N.O. for the Patriots stomping game over the weekend and saw a few interesting sightings. First, the place is awesome but for car owners, it wasn't exactly a macca of clean, well maintained vehicles either.   Anyways, lotsa Mercedes (C-classes especially), many 3-series and even a brand new Ferrari parked on Bourbon St. at the height of foot traffic I think there was a muscle car convention going on somewhere because there were parades of Mustangs and Camaros cruising Canal Street all weekend.   The only other thing worth mentioning is the disturbing trend for jacking up cars to SUV heights and slapping 24" low profile wheels under them. I must've seen a dozen of these jalopies (Older GM Caprices, Fleetwoods, Delta 88's and Malibus) and once you get past the gaudy paint jobs and flashy frying pan wheels, they were one foot in the scrapyard and creaked, groaned and squeeked badly. Blech. The roads are a disaster down there and wreaked havoc on suspensions so I wasn't surprised/ But what I was surpised by was the number of later model vehicles that also creaked and squeeked and how a majority of them were GM and Fords (Trailblazer clones and Explorers).   Saints romped the Pats and it was tough to hang my head up high after witnessing such a beating. Still a great place though.

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 30, 2009 4:28 pm) Not trying to nit pick but I think they are supercharged. The last TT S4 was two generations ago. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Dec 03, 2009 3:29 pm) british_rover (Dec 03, 2009 3:55 pm)

Replying to: lvranger (Dec 03, 2009 1:57 pm) Badge on the side of the car was V6 T, which I assumed is turbo-charged... I'll look it up..   EDIT: You are correct! Supercharged V6... Weird! Replies to this message: british_rover (Dec 03, 2009 3:55 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 03, 2009 3:29 pm) Yup it is just Audi being deliberately obtuse. No idea why they did it that way. Are they embarrassed about supercharging over turbocharging?
