Replying to: jimbres (Nov 07, 2009 6:12 am) That's why I'm keenly interested in the upcoming 2011 Infiniti M. If it can deliver 90+% of the driving pleasure of a comparable German car together with the level of reliability that we associate with a top-tier Japanese brand, it might just be my next car. That's what I'm expecting from it. I also want to see if the NAV and electronics are anything new. Infinitis current system is decent enough, but not great when compared to the latest MMI system, or even COMAND. |

Replying to: jimbres (Nov 07, 2009 7:34 am) That's what I've heard. I took a look at one awhile back, wasn't impressed. It's a nice enough looking car, it doesn't offend like the TL, but there's nothing really attractive about it either. The interior just seemed like the Azera's, nothing special. It could make a compelling used car for some, provided they actually hold up longer than 3 years (not a Hyundai strong suit), but it doesn't tempt me away from Audi. |

Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 07, 2009 8:39 am) Well, I'll try to keep an open mind. I almost certainly won't buy anything before the spring of 2011. By that time, the next generation M (assuming, of course, that I like it) will have been out for a year. (As a rule, I stay away from the 1st year of a new design.) Perhaps by then I'll have changed my mind about Audi.

Replying to: circlew (Nov 07, 2009 12:38 pm) Again, I have to believe that most of those sales are concentrated in the South & Southwest. The Genesis is virtually invisible in the North. If a monster tsunami obliterated Boston next week, it would probably destroy 10,000 Mercedes Benzes, 12,000 BMWs, 25,000 Volvos (most of which would be sporting Obama '08 bumper stickers) & 11 Genesises.

Replying to: jimbres (Nov 07, 2009 5:09 pm) BTW, I took a quick ride over to our local H dealer and noticed the new 2010 Veracruz as it struck me as a CC of the RX. $10K less has to mean something to someone out there! The Gen coupe is quite striking in my view.  Agree there is a long road ahead for Hyundai to compete with the true lux brands, however. They are a poor man's Lexus today!  Regards, OW

Replying to: rockshocka1 (Nov 06, 2009 5:15 pm) I happened to be at the mall yesterday and got a chance to take a quick look at the Droid. I have to say I was less than blown away. It's smaller in person than it looks in pictures. I figured that the keyboard would be like the old HTC Touch Pro, but its even smaller than that and pretty much unusable. Too bad. At this point Sprint's Samsung Moment looks like the better phone. |

Replying to: jimbres (Nov 07, 2009 5:01 pm) That's a good rule to follow. These days it seems like everybody is struggling to get rid of bugs in the first year. I've started to hear of some QC issues on the 2010 E class already.
