Intrepidation

Well neither was Epsilon IIRC but when the 9-3 got refreshed they incorporated AWD into the system.

You can faintly see the speaker through the grill on the A-Pillar

If money were no object, the Karma. Love everything about it, especially how it looks.

Because the door panel on this $245,000 Rolls Royce is so much more lavish. Please. The only thing its more of is square.

Cool, it could be good for small businesses as well as for being a small people mover. Hope the concept's styling translates into production well.

Your posts cause brain hemorrhaging I swear. Because a "real Porsche" is a 911 and that's an end of it. The Porsche sedan looks like a hunchback. Anyone with a remote sense of taste wouldn't want to pay money for a car as ugly as the Panamera. You and smk should get together and build your own car. Since its so easy and all. I bet it would be a cross between a swiss army knife with a stereo and heat massagers and a Juke.

Well there's a total of 6 color combinations, I like Monsoon Tritone and Black Sand Monotone myself. http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/#!/configure/interior:color=Shadow&model=EcoSport&intcolor=Black Sand Monotone

Well, let's see. An Aston Martin Rapide will set you back $199,950 to start, has basically the same interior the DB9 has had since 2004. Is full of build quality issues, cheap switchgear, Volvo bits, an of course horrendous ergonomics. A BMW 7 Series has an interior the looks like the 5 Series...that looks like the 3-Series...that looks like very other BMW over the last 20 years. The Mercedes S-Class can massage your butt in 40 different ways but the interior design is hardly stunning. The Audi A8 interior looks pretty much the same as the old one's interior did. In fact I had to double check to make sure this was the new one. The Rolls Royce Ghost was designed by a man who used rounded off Lego blocks as his inspiration. In fact the only interiors that do anything at all for me is the Continental Flying Spur's, which is very nice but hardly bespoke...what with much of the switchgear and electronics taken from the VW parts bin. The Maserati Quattroport which looks nice enough, but the black plastic and sea of buttons doesn't look befitting of a luxury sedan starting at nearly $122,000 The Jaguar XJ's, which is pretty conservative but nicely detailed. And the Porsche Panamera's interior which I actually like a lot. But unfortunately is the interior of a car that looks like a van rear ended a 911. So I think this: ...more than favorably compares. Even if it doesn't have all the bells and whistles Audi, BMW, and Mercedes have, it looks properly luxurious with plenty of tech, and the materials which make it up are unique to all of its competitors. Of course interior preference is a matter of taste, but most of what I just posted are pretty sedate looking in comparison.

It is truly impressive the level of detail this car has. This puts most luxury cars in its price bracket to shame. I mean look at the detailing: It is a fantastic car, this.

If anything it looks even more like a concept than the actual concept did, what with the massive (yet looks perfectly at home) 22" wheels. The interior is gorgeous. Balthazar should be happy that the steering wheel is certainly not your typical design. Love the gauges and how one two tone models the second tone of the seats blend with the center console. I love how its a zero compromise car. It seems all it needs is for the Ecotec to quiet down and its good to go.

I'm going to spend most of the day tomorrow and hopefully get mine done.

People buy 100k Panameras and they look like a whale rear ended a 911. This has looks, performance, and that "green sustainability" thing going for it. I think they'll do fine. I like how the companies it works with are also environmentally responsible to back up its image,a nd how the battery is made in Massachusetts, not Korea or somewhere.

I know right?

Are you complaining that they're gushing about an American car? Anyway, it still is a very striking vehicle. Easily the sexiest sedan in production. Sure it has a lot of investment backing, but to think that a startup company is pulling this off is pretty inspiring. Who says creativity gets you nowhere?

I believe so, all the stores in my area are doing it. Reason being that we're getting a variety of new product, while other things are switching from AAP and other store brands to Autocraft.

I actually grabbed a few more things today. I should be set with detailing products for the fleet for quite some time. Besides my car, I have Meguiar's Gold glass products reserved for it. Bring on Spring!

That stuff all (and just) became clearance yesterday. to make way for new product. More than half of its gone now, most of which was bought by employees. Check your local Advance Auto Parts.

Got me this: Wonder how the Eagle 1 and Black Magic Stuff are, anyone use it?

Man I need to get to work on the color.

Yep, it's good stuff. At a Meet a couple year's ago a friend put a J-Intake in his car. LH's have pretty restrictive intakes. A forum member builds custom col air intakes (even paints them to the color of your choosing) and puts a K&N cone filter. His setups costs half the price of K&N's CIA. I went for a drive with him right after we got done installing it and it made a big difference in response, as well as sound. IMO they're worth the cost of admission.

It's got nothing on the Sonota Turbo. I don't know why we even bother discussing anything else. The only choice is the Hyundai.

I really like it, especially the SRT4 sketch!

I don't care if it has one door or no doors, I'd rather have a handsome sedan than an ugly coupe. I respect Honda for continuing to make the coupe, but wish it wasn't so awkward looking.

Ah I see what you mean.
