Here in Canada we had our Thanksgiving 6 weeks ago. Which works out great because it's not so close to Christmas and you dont have to see your in-laws too soon again. You can blame the pilgirms for making it at Plymouth Rock during late November. Bad timing in my opinon. It would have been so much better if they booked their cruise 6 weeks earlier.

The AMG is like an overweight sprinter who looks like a good cardiac arrest candidate and the Panamera is like an alcoholic who boasts that he is not really an alcoholic because at least he sips his drinks very slowly. Two pointless endeavors in my opinion |

Replying to: dewey (Nov 26, 2008 7:54 am) Funny you should mention the X6. I remember being appalled by it when it first came out. Curiously, it has grown on me as most Bangle-era vehicles never have. I find it to have a downright menacing neanderthal look, kind of like an enormous but intriguing subway cockroach. Not that I would buy one... it's a little too cage-match decadent and impractical for me. BTW, I think Panamera will appeal to a certain new niche and it will steal MB clientele. I agree with Lexusguy on the interior. Also, if it just had a few more inches of overhang on the rear, it would have staved off GS hunchbackitis which is most noticeable in full profile. Happy Thanksgiving. Good to see you guys again. I hope everybody is OK in spite of our troubling times. |

Replying to: dewey (Nov 27, 2008 7:54 am) I will not be buying an X6 or Panamera anytime soon. However, I intend to "window-shop" the latter. Curiosity has gotten the better of me-could the actual car be as ugly as the photos reveal? I am quite content with my recently-purchased beautiful sport-packaged BMW 328i. Thank you. Chris Bangle. You are truly the Michelangelo of car designers. PS-You can cross the border, Dewey, buy a turkey dirt cheap tomorrow on Black Friday and freeze it for next Thanksgiving; assuming you can still find a bird that hasn't already been pardoned by the out-going Bush Administration. |

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 27, 2008 8:23 am) I find Bangle to be more Salvador Dali-ish. I'll hang the Michelangelo tag on Ian Callum or Walter D'Silva... Happy Turkey past and present, all! Be thankful that we can still afford our internet connections to continue to share witticisms...!

Replying to: laurasdada (Nov 27, 2008 9:12 am) Yet I believe Bangle's most conservative designs, the 3 Series in sedan and coupe forms are his best work. Time to watch the Lions go 0-12. Don't over-indulge, folks. You will hate yourself, tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. |

Replying to: designman (Nov 27, 2008 8:13 am) You're like a family member of mine who surprisingly visits us every other Christmas or Thanksgiving gathering. Hope we hear from you more often then just those two days. How about Easter Day or Columbus Day too?

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 27, 2008 8:23 am) Thanks for the suggestion. In fact if you refer to the video clip below I already bought that Alaskan turkey that is behind Sarah Palin's head. link title
