Replying to: rockylee (Jan 17, 2007 4:15 am) Rocky, I was never into cars like the EVO and Impreza. I know those are fun to drive but they don't offer enough luxury for my taste.   In luxury I am not only looking for leather seats, fake wood trims and gadgets (I can settle for Camry or Accord if I am satisfy with those). The most important criteria for me is the interior fit-'n-finish, material quality and overall appearance. To me the EVO do offer enough performance but not enough luxury to be an ELLPS.   Also, I am working in a fairly conservative environment so to drive a riced up car like the EVO will get me too much unnecessary attention.

Replying to: louiswei (Jan 17, 2007 6:53 am) I guess some of the people I know love to have a trademerk. The new EVO-X is so impressive everything about it's is a trademark because out of all the cars they will release in the autoshows. EVO-X will have the "shock factor" and respect of being performance icon. The EVO-X will impressed   Rocky

http://info.detnews.com/autosinsider/sneakpeek/index.cfm?id=24063   With a 362 hp. base LS-2 V8 on tap this car will be a powerful ELLPS alternative. The leakers say a 502 hp alternative is in the works.   Rocky Replies to this message: pat (Jan 23, 2007 10:58 am) rockylee (Jan 23, 2007 11:32 am) pat (Jan 23, 2007 11:56 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: rockylee (Jan 23, 2007 10:54 am) Rocky, we can probably increase participation here if we set some categories. We can choose up to nine, so pick nine vehicles you want to focus on and I'll set them. I think that will get more folks' attention.

Replying to: pat (Jan 23, 2007 10:58 am) 9-Vehicals to talk about ? I appreciate the offer.   Ummmmmmmmm..........   Well a couple off the top of my head is the 2009' Cadillac CTS-V, 2008' Mitsubishi Lancer EVO-X, 2008' BMW M3, Acura TL Type-S and/or the new 09' SH-AWD TL, Audi S4 & S6, Mercedes C63 AMG model, Volvo S60R, Lincoln is suppose to come out with a SVT tuned MKZ in a couple of years. I also don't mind Chrysler's SRT sedans to be allowed either. If you can think of any more that kind of goes with the flow feel free to add them. I would like to keep the focus on "factory tuned" cars like Cadillac's "V" that is tuned by "GMPD" or Mercedes AMG division. Of course BMW's "M". The talking points I'd like to be focused towards performance, luxury, features/gadgets, quality, value or as they say "bang for buck". A little back n' forth about which car is better wouldn't hurt as long as personal attacks are left on the side walk.   If you can come up with a "factory tuner" type title that's catchy that might help participation that would be great.   Thanx, Pat.......   Rocky Replies to this message: pat (Jan 23, 2007 11:56 am) rockylee (Jan 23, 2007 12:20 pm)

Replying to: rockylee (Jan 23, 2007 11:32 am) Well, your "couple off the top of [your] head" turned into more than nine!! I went with the first nine you listed but there isn't a C63 AMG. Did you mean C36 AMG, which I chose, or did you mean CLS63 AMG? Replies to this message: rockylee (Jan 23, 2007 12:20 pm)
