Personally, I think it's more important to look at the candidate's policies, plans for the future, the nature of the campaign, which reveals some of the candidate's character and integrity, and most important their actual voting record, which sheds a lot of light on what policies they support and don't support.
 
Absolutely. Also, you may want to hold off on your plumbing plans, it turns out that Mr. Joe actually makes around $40K a year, and has no plans to buy his boss's plumbing business which itself doesn't make anywhere near $250-280K. Doh!

In fact Joe the plumber is actually not even a plumber(at least a licensed one) and he still owes $1,100 of back taxes. McCain sure knows how to pick them (Palin and Joe).

I rather agree with you...The format was as though they were sitting at a large desk , and the moderator kept things pretty much on track......No matter what they both said I believe a tax increase will take place, as the government will not shrink the number of employees.....One thing is you don`t go broke paying taxes, so I guess if you don`t owe any tax you are in trouble...I further think that either person would usher in change as the path we have been on is a poor one...I think the election will be closer than the polls say, but Obama will win....I base that on the young people who are really excited by him....Most people my age are Republican, Tony

But not all. At this point its hard to tell how close its going to be. Everything depends on whether college age kids turnout this time. I think they will, and I also think they are underrepresented in the polls. I don't know anyone that age who has a land line.

What's a land line? Did you mean Land Mine?

Okay, bmlexus has posted the pic I'm talking about, so nevermind then
No its not a new model, they said its been around since 2004. The look is kinda boring indeed, but what Camry isnt??? The interior? the same, but the notable difference is the fit-finish, which is a million years better than american built camry. I'm baffled, a 3rd world country builds camrys better than america.....
 
I havent posted lately, due to jetlag, save for a GM thread where someone's really burning my temper, OW I believe knows who .Now that the jetlag is wearing off, time to re-activate myself .
 
ABT R8: Nice interior hideous exterior, reminds me of Pontiac style over-decor, well, almost.
 
'The M1 was a coupe, and I think there is a 4-door 1-series available in Europe. I doubt a new 8-series would be a CLS type vehicle. The 8-series has always been, basically, a 7-series coupe; an SL competitor. Now if they came out with a 4-series, that would probably be a CLS competitor. '
Nope, taylord. The only other body style avaiable on the 1-series is the 3 or 5 door hatchback. I'm not sure about the 8, we've all seen the CS concept and its been long rumored that the 8 will be based on it. Currently the 6 is the SL competitor, so I wonder how BMW will place the next 8-er. A 4-series, should one ever exist, will most likely become the CLK and A5 competitor imo. X1 is the one that confuse me, is it gonna be an Audi A2 / Merc B-class competitor or the even smaller A-class? Is BMW really going the Mercedes route that has proven to be a failure? From what I see BMW is trying to stretch the MB concept even further.
 
"LF-A is going to be another F car for Lexus, rumored to be called the GT F"
Ah, sounds like there will be a Lexus version of toyota Supra soon. Cant wait to see what they'll come up with.
 
LW, I'm not warming up to the M's styling either, its starting to look old, the G fares better in the looks dept imo, but the M kills G in the interior design. Please keep posting recommendations, guys, they can fit for my search too
 
esf, are you really willing to spend $51k for an A4? Because that's how much the new A4 3.2 cost when loaded, yes even costlier than a loaded 335i. I like the A4, but the unreasonable pricing convinced me to cross it off my list. On the new entries: hellooww CLS.
 
Currently my list is becoming longer and longer, thanks to BIG and TM pulling out different (very tempting) suggestions.
A5 / 335i coupe / 6series / CLS
XJ / E350 / A6 / A8 / 750i / 335i sedan
 
6 and A5 are in jeopardy due to the 6's poor reviews on steering feel (often described as Lexus-like) and the A5 being a 1st MY, I doubt they've fixed the bugs already.
 
The thing is I have no specific criterias other than 1) Looks good enough 2) Performs rather well 3) Comfortable and roomy enough for occasional long trips, and 4) cost no more than 45k (prefer 40 if possible, hey less is better right?). This makes finding potentials really hard to do. I'm even hard pressed to resist the temptation of current deals on Range Rovers and X5s, heck I may get crazy enough and consider an Escalade (actually the car looks decent without the bling overkill). Keep reminding myself, gas, gas, gas....

I'm somewhat surprised at how many Lexus RX (named Toyota harrier here) and Camrys are roaming around here. Toyota really rules the market in this land.
 
Also, this country got the current S-class exactly 6 months earlier than we did. What the heck???

I hear you. That poster on that board is very defensive on GM and Caddy!
 
I'd stay away from the 'Slade if I were you. Besides, it's over your price range by a mile and the Hybrid, 2 miles!

OW
