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. |

Replying to: jlbl (Nov 30, 2008 7:33 am) The weather is the same in good old New Jersey. All the CTR3's are in storage! I am in hibernation mode watching the NY Giants vs. Washington Redskins in U.S. football right now. Giants lead 7 -0. Counting the days before I turn in my 2006 330xi at the end of December...what a ride! Regards, OW |

Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 30, 2008 10:02 am) In a different way, yes... and those LEDs are kinda cool, although a bit Vegas, but I like 'em anyway. Unfortunately, everyone will be using them in one form or another, soon enough... bet on it. But, I'm really not so sure Audi has climbed all that high on the visual intimidation ladder, with exception of the R8. Certainly Audi styling has improved and in some cases is outright gorgeous... but, for the most part, I still see performance Audis as wolves in sheep's clothing. And there's something to be said for that, as other non-suspecting challenging drivers end up getting their pants blown away and wonder WTF just happened.  TM
