Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 30, 2008 9:57 am) BUT here in Canada it sells for a big chunk of change more than a BMW 335i. Which is fair enough because Audi's intent is not to sell too many Audi S4s so their goal is not high volume/competitive price but low volume/premium price. I am a frugal person during economic booms and busts and competitive prices plays a big role in all my purchases. Also I've been buying German cars for almost two decades and now is the time to buy a car with a completelly different purpose altogether: Frugality. During these times where my clients are losing money flaunting myself with a spanking new Audi S4 or S5 is not such a good idea (at least for now, who knows about tomorrow). For people who really want to flaunt their wealth and want to buy luxury at a full price and not luxury at a incentivized 15 percent off WalMart kind of price here is the car for you: link title |

Replying to: m4d_cow (Dec 01, 2008 6:59 am) What? The GS is not at least as "luxurious" as the Infiniti M? Well, you didn't say performance...  Besides that I agree with your position on Hyundai, I don't think the buying public could ever see Hyundai as a luxury car maker just like they don't see it in Toyota, Honda and Nissan as well. However, can Hyundai have a spot in the luxury market with a seperate brand/dealership network? You betcha! Just simply pull a chapter out of Toyota's Lexus playbook and they should be A-Ok. |

The GS btw is far more luxurious inside, but the performance is pathetic compared to the M. Just simply pull a chapter out of Toyota's Lexus playbook and they should be A-Ok. Nailed the head

Replying to: m4d_cow (Dec 01, 2008 7:05 am) Depends on the blend. But in most cases I repectfully disagree. Starbucks Sumatra, Arabian Mocha and Ethiopian beans are among the very best. Despite Starbucks I found a fantastic roaster who sells beans for a few hours every week at just one Costco location. Every month I track her down and I am willing to travel two hours to buy her beans.(which includes Kona and Blue Mountain Jamaican) |

But for health reasons do stay away from NYC especially from those delis. Thank you, Dewey. LOL. I loved those delis. Gosh, it's great to be home. But now, I've still got to sell my Porsche. There aren't many buyers out there right now, but whoever gets it will get a steal of a deal, and will look back one day and be glad they bought it. Are you going to get yourself that new Prius when it comes out? TM

Replying to: tagman (Dec 01, 2008 10:56 am) Maybe this year? Depends on how my RWD BMW 335i drives this winter. If I spend a few days being immobile during snow storms then yes I will get a FWD Prius which is at least better in the snow. Last winter was a joke in terms of how many days my car remained on my driveway. I know, I know who the hell buys a Prius for snow driving? Why not an Audi, a hybrid Lexus RX or even a Subaru? Because the above cars are not fuel efficient enough. A Prius will be my way of thumbing my nose at Russia, OPEC and Venezula.

Replying to: dewey (Dec 01, 2008 12:15 pm) My perspective is that the final production version of the Honda Insight will have superior styling and a more attractive price than the Prius, but the Prius will ultimately deliver a superior hybrid system and thus better fuel economy. You might consider getting an old Jeep, MDX, or other comparable 4x4 to keep around just for those slippery snowy and icey days, and the rest of the time drive what you really like to drive. TM
