Maybe the cup holders would go to 3-series...
 
However, I love the "bottle-holders" in the front door panels though, especially with the flip-open cover.

Hello: At the New England IAS last fall (a mere shell of the NYIAS) , Acura wasn't drawing big crowds (well, when I go, midweek, there aren't big crowds anyway!) as there really wasn't much new to view. The Maser Quattroporte and GranTurismo were busy, busy, busy...
 
While running errands at lunch tody, saw a shiny, black XKR coupe. Goodness, me oh my, I thought that I might propose marriage to it...
 
Also, I saw my first XF on the road, it crossed the road I was on while waiting upon a red light. It was black, or very dark blue, and somewhat surprisingly to me, didn't really catch my eye. Maybe it was the dark color?

Thanks for all the sites....I am going to visit them each slowly so I can visualise you and your home country...From the driving map it appears as though it (Getxo) is lovely and not too congested, as much of the USA is getting to be....Down in Miami, Key Biscayne really is way less of importance then Biscayne Bay, which is the wide body of water that seperates South Beach from downtown Miami ...So many of the names in Florida are as you say--just like Spain....What a wonderful country you live in....I am also very proud of mine, just not some of the people running the show.....My Spanish is going to take some time to even begin to make sense to you...It is apparently quite tricky Adios Hasta pronto

"My Spanish is going to take some time to even begin to make sense to you..."
 
When in doubt, use Spanglish!! Por ejemplo: Hasta manana = Hasty bananas! O, "Donde esta el bano" = "Donde esta la casa de Pepe!"
 
Lo siento, Jose... High school Spanish + High school sense of humor = above...

Keep up the good work---I appreciat it----In the school for my grandchildren, I begged my daughter to concentrate on Spanish, but no they make them take several languages--just part of how education is done apparently....Laura had a good dad Tony

My last auto show visit was the '06 NYIAS. The at the time brand new M and GS both had huge crowds. The RL was also there, and it was dead. You could hear the crickets. Once Lexus and Infiniti had launched their competitors it was clearly all over for the RL.

In the USA (and Canada), I have visited NYC, Long Island, the northwest coast from Connecticut to Vermont (and Montreal), Florida and South California. Great Countries and great people. I wish to pay visits to other places, but opportunities are more and more limited as time goes by.
 
We, Europeans, feel the American landscape greatness overwhelming as compared to our more crowded and smaller Countries. Nonetheless, Spain is just a bit like North America in that, in a much smaller scale, there are open spaces, beaches, mountains, green lands, deserts, dry, rain, hot and cold whether.
 
If coming to Spain, do not hesitate to visit the inland and northern towns and villages

—apart from the well-known southern and eastern more touristic shores. In fact, I would not recommend the crowded touristic resorts of the eastern Spain but those of the northeastern Costa Brava as well as Barcelona, Valencia and the Balearic Islands. Excellent food, too.
 
OK, let's have the first lesson :
 
Joseph = José (Stressed as José)
 
Joe = Pepe / Jose (without accent, stressed as Jose)
 
And, to keep this post loosely related to the forum topic, I must say that Bilbao (including Getxo) was the 2001 Winner of the Europe Best Public Transportation Award.
 
Regards,
Jose
