...Most people my age are Republican
 
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....

Your list is very confusing
 
A5 and 6 series are large a 2 door coupe.
 
CLS is also a coupe but 4 door! looks attractive, don't like the interior.
 
E350 no,nope,never, unless the new redesign gets better.
 
335i is a small coupe.
 
A6 sedan is midsize,
 
A8 and 750li large sedans.
 
If you want a coupe, I suggest 6series and the A5,
 
Sedan, A8.

Yeah, bmlexus makes a good point. The list is too vast.
 
Sure, there are some nice vehicles out there... And your list incudes some of them, but it's time to weed through them.
  
Actually, when the dust settles, there is one vehicle that stands out, and is a genuine benchmark, year after year, and is also a tremendous sales success... That vehicle is the BMW 3-Series. Coupe or sedan, It offers the right mix of interior comfort, luxury, features, and passenger capacity... as well as incredible style, major fun-factor, and superior performance.
 
It's almost too obvious!
