The AWD V70 did come in a 2.5T model (turbo). I think they stopped making them after 2004 though, and I was not looking for something quite that old. ALthough my local dealer does have an '04 w/44K on it, in blue, CPO. Just too pricey. the AWD drives just like the FWD for the most part. The XC is a bit rougher/tippier with the taller tires and jacked up suspension. The R is sweet. I would love one of those. Just a tad pricey for a nice one, and not the best idea for doing 2K+ per month. Extremel nice car though. my new plan is to try and sell my car after the holidays. If I am walking 44 miles each way to work, it will give me extra incentive to find something new! I might also get something for the winter that I can then pass down to my son in the spring. But that will get more complicated.

Replying to: roadburner (Dec 11, 2008 8:46 pm) I have 2 (smaller) Toshiba LCD TVs. They're lighter of course, use less energy, but I don't think the picture quality is up to that of Plasmas. I sold my 26" Toshiba CRT behemoth for $30 & felt glad to get it....... |

Sony KDL-52W4100... 52" LCD 120Hz We just finished our lower level.. This one is about $2100... Decided against plasma because of power consumption and ambient light in our lower level (it's a walkout with three full-size double hung windows). If we get it, we'll pick it up in my wife's new SUV (to stay on topic).

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 12, 2008 12:50 pm) One shop I was at had a 52W4100 next to the 52" XBR6; I have to admit that if there was a significant difference in picture quality I couldn't see it. The only thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger on the Viera is a concern about ambient light/glare. The Viera has an anti-glare coating but I dont know if it's enough for my HT room. I think I'll buy from CC when the price is right and take it back and swap it for a Sony LCD if the reflections are too bad. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 13, 2008 6:38 am) Yes, all I have to do is drive my car to Jeffersontown. And you are right about the Panasonic BD player; everything I've read indicates that the BD-35 is the best player out there. All the BD-55 adds is analog outputs, which I don't need.

looks like I finally am getting another car. That's what I get for telling my sister that if she gets a new one I wanted dibs on her old one (hey, it would have been traded in otherwise. I might as well rip her off instead! j/k) anyway, she finally test drove a 2009 TSX and apparently fell in love, since she decided to buy on the spot instead of looking at other choices. Too bad I couldn't get her a offer price sooner, since I expect she paid too much. But she was happy. Actaully, I told her what I found on the prices paid board, and she got them to drop another $300, so it was worth the call. I am getting (or more accurately, my son) a 2000 Acura 3.2TL. 1 owner, no accidents, all dealer serviced. Even just got new motor mounts. They offered 2,000k, and yeah, i'll pay that. pretty clean car. Other than the DS bun warmer not working. It does have 145K on it, but hey, mostly highway. And it was maintained well. Plan A is to get it and sell the 1998 contour and get the kid into a safer car. Plan B is to temporarily go to 4 cars (3 drivers) and try to sell my accord. Then I will drive the TL on my 90 miles/day commute while I look for a deal (having cash in hand) on something new for me. shopping with money in the bank and no need to solicite a trade in quote, especially these days, is a good thing. Now I just have to figure out how to get a car from VA to NJ....
