Replying to: bjbird2 (Nov 09, 2005 2:10 pm) You should shop what you want. I go into a new purchase surveying all options, and cast out those that don't appeal.   I go into a thread about Lux Perf cars looking to discuss those. Nice and/or competent as they may or may not be, the Avalon and Passat are not in the category being discussed. They are available, have been noted, and other than an occasional passing reference are best covered in threads created for such purpose.   You could create a new thread if you like. Perhaps something like Avalon/Passat v. Lux Perf Sedans.

Replying to: jonward (Nov 09, 2005 12:58 pm) The airbag thing is really troubling. The phone's an annoyance. But you got 35K on tires on a LPS? And you're complaining? Have you busted the 65mph cherry on your S?

My last set of rubber went 13K. These guys are right, 35K is muy fabuloso! Replies to this message: jshattner (Nov 09, 2005 7:42 pm)

Replying to: wale_bate1 (Nov 09, 2005 1:24 pm) Where oh where can we discuss the Trabant [if not here]?   Agree, I participate over at the Passat and X3 forums -- the Avalon is not the subject here, nor is the Passat. However, I won't quite go so far as to ostracize folks who mention their names (I'll leave that to the hosts.)   I just got the Audi A6 survey # 2236 from JD Powers with the $1.00 bill in it. I am so sick of these surveys, why can't they survey us on the WWW and give us a credit at Amazon or something -- I detest filling in those little opti scan circles. After the first survey, I just pocket the buck.   Again, I know I am a bad person -- but they should automate this by making it an e-survey.   End of small rant
#4866 of 9978 Putting The Names In Context by hpowders Nov 09, 2005 (6:22 pm)
I don't mind seeing their names every once in a while. I don't need to be told on the LPS thread that I can save a lot of money by buying a Passat or Avalon instead of an LPS. I don't need nor solicit that kind of help here.

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 09, 2005 2:34 pm) hpowder, don't worry, i'm a bmw owner and am as much a sucker for brand name as any other upper middle class wannabe on this forum who claims they can dtect a difference between a 5.8 second 0-60 and a 6 second 0-60...   LOL.   When i compare an avalon to a M, i'm very much within the limits of this forum because i'm talking about the M. If I were to compare an avalon against an umm pontiac, you could have my butt whacked off..   lastly nobody is dictating you to go buy either an avalon or the passat. this is a discussion bound by the rules of edmunds, not by your or my rules...   take it easy.   ksso
