I always remember him as having a jumble of letters that resemble a radio station name... now i've to be wary of the fact that he could be my monitor too?  i'm seriously wondering how the august/sep gas price shock is going to affect the increasing sales of entry and mid size luxury cars, people who became car rich in the booming 90s and more recent years. A number of my friends who own G35s are clamoring to change because of mileage issues. I was at a BP station on sunday pumping 3.69 premium into my wife's 3 convertible and a guy in a lexus gx470 pulls up and fills up just a few cents over 87 bucks. My eyes turned white, but when I saw his eyes, i saw only the white part and nothing else.. no iris... LOL. I was waiting for the launch of the 550i, but suddenly, i don't think i'm so horsepower hungry at $3+ of gas.... ksso |

Replying to: ksoman (Sep 06, 2005 8:42 am) Sales of GM's Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Hummer H2 all fell more than 30 percent, for example. Not all gas-guzzlers are suffering, however. Luxury car and pickup sales remain brisk, the story said. Although Ford reported a 40 percent drop in Expedition SUV sales, its F-series trucks sold very well, with August sales rising by 7 percent." Doesnt appear that lux shoppers are bailing on their cars just yet. Even at $3.69, we pay less than Japan and way less than Europe.

Replying to: lexusguy (Sep 06, 2005 11:03 am) Yesterday as I eased out from an intersection the young woman next to me in a HUMMER 2 went to the floor with the excelerator and kept it there...and I'm thinking perhaps gallons per mile not MPG for that rig! |

Replying to: lexusguy (Sep 06, 2005 11:03 am) i believe this is atleast a 25% solid block of people in this car market... the LPS market. a lot of us on this forum who live and breathe cars may not be in this 25%, but if this market lost 25% sales, who will be affected the most? for some reason i think not MB or BMW, yes, they'll lose some but lesser than the others or maybe the inifinity and rl will convince people that they offer better milage... i dunno... ksso |

. . .and the miles to empty "meter" jumped to 635! Trip from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh AND back, largely interstate, three people, two shelties, full trunk of luggage, ac running all the time and speed NEVER less than 75MPH -- mainly "S" mode. This dude sips gasoline! I kept thinking the gas gauge was broken -- hello, hello, are you ever going to drop? Read Jay Leno's article in Pop Mech -- he (and now I) can't wait for the upcoming diesels! The A6 3.0TDI must be quite spanky. And even more frugal. No hybrids (at this time) need apply. The 3.2 engine in my A6 makes me wonder what could be done with this FSI technology, tho.
