Replying to: lexusguy (Dec 14, 2006 6:02 pm) What is it with the "high driving position?" If it weren't for all the other "high driving position" vehicles on the road, there would be no need for it. Except, of course, for the ego need.

My wife is vertically challenged (5'4") and so she doesn't like a car thats low to the ground, especially if the cowl is high. It seems to me that women like the SUV driving position more than men. I think its a feeling of security, more than ego. |

Replying to: kgary (Dec 15, 2006 2:50 am)  Can you say "global warming"?? I feel guilty enough about 20-25 mpg in a LPS, imagine getting 10-15 in a glorified farm vehicle.

Replying to: acurat (Dec 15, 2006 8:55 am) Please dont feel guilty. Thanks to global warming we are experiencing a miraculously balmy December here in Toronto And I have you to thank for that! Please keep up your gas consumption. And I hope you are driving a non-Blutec diesel(My wife and I are very proud owners of a nitrogen spewing 83 MB300D) My sincerest appreciations, Dewey |

Replying to: lexusguy (Dec 15, 2006 11:33 am) The power and performance with the sport package and the 19" wheels and tires were, er, "inspirational." The new interior was way nicer than my wife's 2005 and the car was quieter and fantastically powerful up a test hill we have coined "BMW hill." I could take the auto trans in this little dude without hesitation -- must be the power of the uprated engine. Woo Woo!

Replying to: markcincinnati (Dec 15, 2006 12:46 pm) In one of my early posts (maybe in the spring) when I first started posting on this forum, I mentioned in passing that I had been driving a BMW 3-series and referred to it as a luxury car. You were dramatic in your confrontation, emphasizing that if BMW had convinced me that a 3-series was a luxury car, then they had done a great sell job. Do your recent comments represent a change in thinking about that? Charlie
