Replying to: lexusguy (Mar 31, 2006 10:31 am) This is what deteriorates the AMG product line: too many products. They really should limit the AMG's to sedans and roadsters/coupes. Wagons, "Sports Tourers", and SUVs do not need 800,000,000hp like Mercedes-Benz has made many wealthy Americans believe. Anyone up for a 2008 $120,000 R65 AMG? Thought so. |

Replying to: esf (Apr 01, 2006 10:47 pm) The Avalon and GS are similar size, but there are some pretty big differences between them, the biggest of which is that one is FE\FWD, and the other is FE\RWD. I dont know of any current architecture from any company that is adaptable to both. The suspensions are also different, the Avalon uses Mac struts in front and dual-link independent Mac struts in the back, while the Lexus uses independent double-wishbones in front, and has an independent, multi-link setup in the rear. The IS, GS, and LS dont share anything with any Toyotas on sale in the states.

Replying to: lexusguy (Apr 01, 2006 11:53 pm) This is akin to people thinking that all Audis are on Volkswagen platforms. The only models that are on VW platforms are the lower-end cars: A3, A4, TT. (TT is not necessarily low-end, it's just not large) All of these cars are on the VW Golf/Jetta platform, along with a few Skodas, and a SEAT. Cars that aren't on Volkswagen platforms are the European A2, upcoming A5, A6, A8, R8 supercar, Q7. Yes, the Q7 shares a platform with the Toureg and Cayenne. But it's a stretched version, thereby making it slightly different. Also, no, the 2008 Audi R8 is not a VW-derivitave- it is based off of Audi's Lamborghini Gallardo platform. |

Wow, BMW 5 series sales increased 33.4 percent for the month of March and 28 percent ytd compared to last year's results. I think the fortunes of the M will improve further when they get more displacement with a 3.7 litre engine. I cant wait to see the new G37 in the New York Show(in virtual reality ofcourse) |

For all the MB Cassandras who have been predicting nothing but doom and gloom for Benz, I have news for you: MB March sales are the best they have ever been. And what about the E class? A 7.6 percent increase in March sales compared to last year.
