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) |

Replying to: dewey (Dec 01, 2008 9:46 am) a recent health issue at a hospital and now a financial issue. Tag I do wish you the best. 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

Replying to: 2001gs430 (Dec 01, 2008 5:37 am) 'Fraid not. I think we're going to be in this one for the long haul. The auto market will eventually recover I'm sure, with some adjustments and a general shift to smaller cars. I think the Q5 will be a hit and the A3 will enjoy much bigger sales than it does now, at the expense of nearly nonexistent sales of the Q7 and A8. The mid-lux market is also likely to not recover to some 150,000 sales a year for the major brands, so the A6 probably will not see a huge sales increase, even if the 2011 version is amazing. Something like the A1 could also do very well if they decide to bring it here. |

Replying to: dewey (Dec 01, 2008 12:15 pm) I wouldn't be so sure about that. From what I've heard, those skinny, low resistance tires are absolutely horrible in the snow. A hybrid Camry might be a better choice in that situation.

Replying to: dewey (Dec 01, 2008 5:13 pm) I think Infiniti is going to be surprised that the European press (and especially Jeremy Clarkson) aren't nearly as nice about their cars as say, C&D. |
