Replying to: anthonyp (Nov 28, 2008 7:00 pm) I always look forward to getting the January issue of C&D. In this particular issue there is a stunning photo of Chris Bangle's masterpiece, the 3 Series Coupe, in Crimson Red; one of the best photos of a car that I have ever seen. Tony, there are few cars as beautiful as the 3 Series Coupe. As a devout believer in chaos theory, all has always been right with the world. "Wrong" happens to be "right", Tony. |

Replying to: dm1212 (Nov 28, 2008 6:48 pm) Hmmm, I'm guessing you'd be embarrassed to be seen in a Hyundai, and that actually driving the thing, or enjoying whatever it had to offer, are way (way) down on your list. To each their own. Enjoy those fashion accessories. |

Whoever dislikes Hyundai seems to be taking a shot at it. Looks like many here want the badge more than the quality. No other manufacture is improving or growing as fast as the Korean manufacture. Time will tell.

Replying to: bmlexus (Nov 29, 2008 2:13 am) Obviously the LS is in a category that Infiniti doesn't compete in currently. One could easily argue that the G and the M are better than the ES and GS. I don't think Infiniti is a better car company than Lexus but I'll stand with the statement. Neither one is a company that I put ahead of the Germans when I am loking for a car. |

Replying to: dewey (Nov 26, 2008 8:00 am) I only use DS rarely, like when I want to take off in 1st from the line, otherwise, I have found that I just don't need to keep it there, the tranny downshifts so smoothly that when I need speed, I just use my right foot. |

Replying to: kamdog (Nov 29, 2008 5:01 am) You are right that the mileage goes off a cliff when you put your foot into the twin-turbo engine. On flat terrain, in high gear, at freeway speed, the engine will deliver decent fuel economy. There are many hills and elevation changes in my area, which just destroy the gas mileage. Plus, the usual California traffic. Sure, now and then I can get mid-twenties easily, but I cannot average more than 17.2 mpg overall. I'm OK with that until I finally go with a hybrid. Just waiting for a hybrid with a bit of a cool/fun factor. Shouldn't be too much longer... maybe a year. BTW, had a great steakhouse dinner here in NYC. Tried some street vendor food and it was good, too. That bagel, lox, cream cheese thing was a big surprise too. Man, these New Yorkers know how to eat! Now, time to go back home to some of the best seafood and California cuisine. And I'm definately ready to go to Fisherman's Wharf and get some fresh cracked crab with drawn butter.  TM
