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. |

Replying to: clembo (Nov 28, 2008 4:25 pm) Infiniti has been a viable luxury car company for about 2 years. The original Q wasn't bad, but the marketing was horrible and Infiniti didn't keep it competitive. After a few years, the LS left it in the dust. The G20, M30, and J30 were bland, forgettable JDM Nissan imports, and the I30 and QX4 were just Maximas and Pathfinders with the Nissan logo crossed out. Infiniti proves that having a separate luxury brand/dealer network means absolutely nothing if you have no product. The fact that the M sells as well as it does, smashing the RL, and A6, and often beating the GS, proves that great product can overcome nearly anything. |
