Replying to: shipo (Mar 27, 2006 8:32 pm) I will try and reconstruct it from memory: Oh yeah? My "navigator" couldn't identify our 545 in a parking lot with 2 cars in it, the other one being a Honda Civic. Yet if I move a candy dish in the living room a fraction of an inch.... Well, you get the idea.

This is a very interesting video, the A6 simply mopped the floor with the competition. http://www.autospies.com/article/index.asp?articleId=6839&categoryId=23

In China the affluent are most attracted to a vehicle that is not manufactured by Audi, BMW, MB, Lexus or Infiniti. In fact their number one choice is not even a LPS but a Buick minivan. Forget limousines. These days, the hot vehicle for China's business elite is a Buick minivan. Known here as the GL8, the General Motors Corp. automobile was designed to ferry families around U.S. suburbs. But in China, a revamped model with leather seats, flat television screens and a remote-controlled sound system is being used to coddle executives as they battle the traffic in the country's big cities. Chinese buyers who can afford vehicles like the LaCrosse and GL8 tend to let their chauffeurs do the driving. One of GM's biggest assets is the surprising strength of the Buick name in China. The brand was a status symbol back in prewar Shanghai, when Buicks were the ride of choice for the city's wealthy traders and industrialists. The last emperor of China bought two of them in 1924, and they became the first automobiles to enter the Forbidden City. WSJ.com

Replying to: lexusguy (Mar 27, 2006 5:01 pm)  On a $50K+ car, she should not have to wear one of those aftermarket devices that pull the seatbelt down. The old style 530 had a sliding mount on the door that was coupled to the seat position automatically....even that's gone. We found no seating problems on the Lexus, Acura or Infinity and our Graphite/Wheat M35 will be waiting when our BMW lease is up.

Replying to: shipo (Mar 27, 2006 6:49 pm) My "navigator" can get herself lost on the way to work. :-/ Like yours, she too loves to keep me company by sleeping for all but the last ten or fifteen miles. You guys are lucky! My "navigator" forces herself to stay awake so she can harrass me about my speed the whole way!
