Replying to: anthonyp (Nov 29, 2008 2:45 pm) I guess you are in Florida right now where there are still many Canadian snowbirds. My parents had a ocean front condo right at the border of Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach (my mother sold the apartment in 2002). Loved visiting the place and I did notice quite a few Canadian flags over there. |

The average incentive spending on a premium car last month was about $8,100, compared with $3,430 a year earlier. But unlike past downturns, consumers aren't responding to traditional marketing devices like increased incentives, lease deals or beefed-up advertising, said BMW spokesman |

Replying to: dewey (Nov 29, 2008 8:30 pm) Glad you found some Kona coffee at Costco. I haven't seen any locally for quite a while... but I stock up when it's available. I, too, consider coffee as important as food... I need it in order to survive in the morning. That first cup is heaven on earth. I posted recently (I think to hpowders) before the latest issue of C&D, that the 3-Series is as close to the single perfect vehicle available.... in my opinion. As much as I love and prefer my 1-Series, it does not hit the sweet spot for the general public as well as the 3-Series does. A 3-Series sedan is a near-perfect car, and it's very good looking, although the 3-Series coupe is one of the best lookers out there. The sedan is a near-perfect combination of practicality and functionality, terrific style, and outstanding performance and driving dynamics. It is the benchmark. TM

Replying to: tagman (Nov 29, 2008 8:53 pm) The wife has already asked me when she can drive the 328i, as she all of a sudden has become a car expert and can articulate the important differences between the Rabbit and BMW; this from someone who couldn't find our car in a 2 car parking lot several months ago. For someone like you, lucky enough that practicality doesn't have to enter into the car purchasing decision, a 135i convertible is a wonderful choice. From my shopping experience in stores, most Kona sold off the shelf is a Kona blend-sometimes as low as 10%, and usually stale. When I want the genuine 100% Kona, and I find myself in Florida, rather than at the Grand Wailea Napua Tower Key Club in Maui, which serves the best Kona I have tasted, I have it shipped to me online directly from the source. |

Browsing through Mystery Car Pix… here in Edmunds Forums I've come across of this Ruf CTR3   To have a look at their source: CTR3 From there I have popped out this old Porsche pics 550 Coupe 911 GTI Nice cars all of them, out of common's reach  . Enjoy the sighting. Back to work now (I'm writing some paper at home; there is a big ocean storm outside though I'm seated next to the fireplace. Tony, I envy now your nice weather in Florida. Oh, this winter Le Cirque du Soleil is coming to Bilbao  . May be some lighter spot then. This autumn weather it's being too much dark and stormy overhere.) Regards, Jose

Replying to: m4d_cow (Nov 28, 2008 11:07 am) I really meant $32-37K. Walk into a Mercedes dealer around here with $37K, and you can drive away in a certified CLS500. I saw a silver 650 coupe on the road yesterday, making a left in front of me. It just isn't a pretty car. The droopy front makes it look like its falling asleep, and the trunk lid still looks lifted from a different car. On the other hand, a deep blue A5 was behind me on the highway with its lights on, and then passed me and I was behind it on the exit ramp. Gorgeous car. The rear end reminds me of the Gran Turismo. |
