Replying to: jasef (Nov 18, 2007 8:35 am) Congrats on the new car. The A6 4.2 Sport is one of my two top favorite cars in the mid-lux segment, the other being the Infiniti M45 Sport. The M is ultimately the more raw, entertaining car, but it won't get anywhere near that kind of mileage on the highway with just 5 gears. The A6 is almost as fun to drive, and it is definitely the better cruiser. |

Repost from 2008 m35 Forum: Trying to decide which is the better option for me. 2007 pluses: wheels, colors (interior AND exterior), price (as a leftover) 2008 pluses: ipod connectivity / music hard disk (both very big deals to me as a music lover) Can anyone think of any reasons to lease one as opposed to another?

Major facelift planned next year for Acura RL Posted on Monday 19 November 2007 Acura is planning to inject some life into the slow selling RL flagship saloon by giving the car a major overhaul in time for next year’s summer sale period. Several dealers were given information about the update but no specifications or details about the car’s final styling were revealed. One dealer in Pittsburgh told Automotive News that the car will receive “a major facelift in the front and back.” Dealers across the U.S. have requested several major changes as another Los Angeles salesmen explained. “Dealers have said they want three things: They don’t like the styling, there is not enough rear-seat legroom and it needs a turbocharger or V8.” American Honda exec Dan Bonawitz confirmed that changes to the car will be introduced by the middle of next year, also admitting that the car’s interior could be improved. He wasn’t willing to give any details about any powertrain changes, however. If any car in Acura/Honda’s lineup was in need of an update it’s the RL. The latest model has sold poorly since its introduction in 2004, with latest sales figures down 47.5% on the same period last year. The key problem is that luxury buyers usually look for RWD vehicles with powerful V8 engines and the AWD V6 RL meets neither of those descriptors. |

Replying to: nyarlathotep (Nov 19, 2007 5:24 am) Can anyone think of any reasons to lease one as opposed to another? I would get the '08. I think its a better looking car overall, and the white gauges are a big improvement as well. That is unless you really like the saddle leather, which appears to be gone. |

Replying to: rayainsw (Nov 21, 2007 6:13 am) I read that it was supposed to slot in the middle of the A6 range, replacing the old 2.7T. Audi has to know that their 265hp 3.1L really isn't enough these days. |

Has anyone ever used BG 44K fule additive or BG MOA oil additive? If so, are they any good?

Replying to: kgary (Nov 23, 2007 12:46 pm) The fact is that the individuals that designed and built your engine designed it to run hundreds of thousands of miles with just the recommended maintenance, and the use of after market additives will, if anything, be at least as much of a detriment to that engine as they will be as a benefit. Best Regards, Shipo
