I finally went to Jaguar dealership again to take a look at the XJ. So far the XJR looks the best, less chromey, but there are still a few more issues to deal with: 1) The best wheels, 19" (or is it 20??) 5-spoke, non-chrome, is only available on the LWB, they said. 2) The Leaper has gotta go, but how do I do that? I asked the salesman and he just gave me a blank stare. 3) Due to previous use, the seats seem to need reconditioning. Can anyone recommend good leather treatment? One that can return the shine and smell of fresh leather  bmlexus, the thing is it's been so slow with MB its limelight is stolen by BMW and Audi. MB's leap forward in S-class' design is noticeable, I dare say that. However as much as interested I am with the S-class, the price is still out of reach. Price is the main reasn I havent looked at MB again lately. Its too bad, as I can live with the perceived image. Honestly I never care for the uncomfortable stares, you buy it because you like it and can afford it, period. However I must admit that the CLS is my favorite. I wonder if bargains exist for that model.... C-class, new, yes, but bland and offers nothing new. Well, except the outstanding stereo that is. Also, as a Lambo fan, I must say I'm highly disappointed by the concept. Rear end looks pretty cool, but front end looks like a combination between a 90s Camaro and Reventon. A poor mix, I;m expecting a 4-door Gallardo style wedge, instead I'm looking at an Italian Challenger. The S4 looks good though, however as Audi decides not to make A4 convertibles anymore, I guess this means A5/S5 convertible instead. Audi, I'm waiting G37 convertible, yum.... IS convertible, yuck...  "They did have an S8 but I was certain that the $114K sticker price would have put my wife over the edge." Nah, she'll have her divorce lawyer on the phone in approximately 1 second

OK, what is going on? whats the inside story  What financial crisis? Ferrari is expecting record sales in 2008 and at its Ferrari California debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Show today, the Italian automaker said it has sold out of the convertible until 2011. Ferrari has sold the entire 2009 and 2010 production of the $246,724 hard-top California. According to Ferrari’s boss Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, 60 percent of buyers who have ordered the car have never bought a Ferrari. Montezemolo said that Ferrari will not be increasing production to meet demand and will continue with the 2,800 units planned for 2009 and the 3,000 planned for 2010. Refresher: Power comes from a 4.3L V8 producing 460 horsepower engine mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. 0-60 comes in just under 4 seconds with a top speed of 193mph  more pics. link title |

Replying to: rockshocka1 (Oct 03, 2008 6:35 pm)  Again, don`t let my minor irritations, be taken too seriously....It`s just when I carry a car to the dealer, then I expect the whole car to be taken car of at one time----I don`t know how Lexus would handle it now, as I haven`t been there in three years, but the last time I had trouble , they took care of the whole thing , and I never had to even think about it...I really think Audi is coming along...I`l talk with Bill the servic guy to try and explaing how they could improve---particularly with the high end----and maybe they will take my thoughts to heart....If I were really upset, I would say so, and change cars....Tony

Replying to: tagman (Oct 03, 2008 9:04 pm) Agreed. I also love the E-type, but I don't plan to ever buy one. I would buy an XK150 first. If I were to win the lottery, the first car I would buy would be one of those pre-wars, just so I could stare at it without having to go to Pebble Beach.

Replying to: tagman (Oct 03, 2008 8:59 pm) I'm sure it will be basically identical to the coupe. The G's interior is competitive, which can't really be said of the old car, but its not up to the best yet. Based on what they've shown they can do with the EX35, the next G could be right up there with the A4. The FX on the other hand is just kind of weird looking on the inside, so who knows. |
