Replying to: louiswei (May 06, 2008 10:09 am) 1. Audi A8: $1,640 1. Mercedes-Benz G Class: $1,640 3. Jaguar XK: $1,629 4. Land Rover Range Rover $1,600 5. Mercedes-Benz CL Class: $1,540 6. BMW 7 Series $1,529 7. Audi Q7: $1,400 8. Land Rover LR2/LR3 $1,360 9. BMW M6: $1,300 9. Porsche Cayman: $1,300 ... Spread out over 5 years, that's really not a whole lot of money. That works out to a little more than $27/month for the A8 $21/month for the Cayman. |

Replying to: tayl0rd (May 15, 2008 10:13 am) The GT-R produces 126hp per litre. Dyno results seem to indicate that Nissan isn't pulling a BMW, and hugely understating the power. The GT-R shouldn't be as fast as it is, and the fact that its able to take down nearly every super car is down to engineering brilliance. The Z06 produces 72hp per litre, typical for an OHV. It weighs hundreds of pounds less than the GT-R and has more horsepower, and yet the GT-R will beat it in every metric except a 1/4 mile drag race. Making a car thats fast in a straight line 1/4 mile isn't all that difficult. Big engine, big tires. Making one that can beat nearly everything up to 3x more expensive at the 'ring is much harder. |

The 2007 Lexus LS 460 tested by Car and Driver only recorded a 0-60 time of 6 seconds, not 5.4 seconds like Lexus has promised. Car and Driver says it is because of the tall first gear. While this is disappointing, the scary part is the braking. It took the big Lexus 209 feet to stop from 70 mph. For comparison, the Audi Q7 SUV only requires 170 feet. The car did have the regular all-season tires I've never paid much attention to stopping distances, but that does seem like a big difference. But I think this info is wrong.

Since he apparently owed Josh Fogg $1,500, Ken Griffey Jr. went about paying him back in the most devious way possible. Griffey paid off his debt by having 150,000 pennies — $25 to a box, 60 total cartons — stacked in Fogg's locker like it was a safe deposit box. |

Replying to: bmlexus (May 15, 2008 9:47 pm) C&D had a pre-production tester, and it had some kind of issue with the brakes. Production LS460s have recorded much more reasonable distances. |

The new Edmunds review is one of the harshest I've seen, though all the TSX reviews have generally been negative. It's basically a bag of gadgets with the ability to go, stop, and steer (poorly, poorly, and poorly), seemingly thrown in at the last minute. Doesn't bode particularly well for the next TL.
