Starting of the year well, I see.

The exterior looks good, IMO, but that interior is disgusting for a Benz. Even the new Malibu's interior is better. Edit: spelling.

Benz coupes will always look more substantial and luxurious than BMW coupes.

I'll bet $1 there's an idiot claiming overstated mileage while seriously forgetting where he's driven.

Thanks for the links, especially the real world photos. They have changed my mind to an extent. IMO, if you look past the front the car is sexy and aggressive, I like it. I still believe the front end is a let down, though. The design is too 90's and bland for me. It's almost like the last-gen Camry in SE trim. This is the front I'm talking about, not the entire car (just to get that point across). The black interior is beautiful, so much better than the orange/black that we have all seen, and the best in any midsize car offered by GM today. All in all, a front end redesign would go a long way.

That was good, YJ. Happy birthday, Croc! Same day as my mom, too. Now about that picture we've been talking about. Since I know you're a bit miffed about posting it on the net, my e-mail address is... :AH-HA_wink: You intrigue me for some reason.

I don't have enough time to make a full list so I'll cut it down. - Chocolate (even though a small amount of dark chocolate without drinking milk is good for you) - Cheese/pizza/french fries

Out of control. And Cory's right. Turbo, we need some more photos. By the way, are you hispanic?

The interior is awesome, I love it. The design can be summed up as old-world meets modern technology and I think it's great. My only question is with the grille: is that grey plastic or a toned down metal? It looks like cheap plastic.

Good article. I think Saab needs to run with its heritage and design cars around the whole jet theme, much more than it has up to this point. I wish I had some artistic ability to show you (and myself) what I mean.

Great rundown from a different POV. I can't believe you like the IS-Fugly, though. I hope you saw it without the body kit.

The photos do not work for me.

I love the Magnum but I am not loving this MCE. The interior looks better but I thought the interior on the rental Magnum my family had over the summer was fine. You do get a lot of car for the money and it still attracts looks, probably because it's not a big seller.

Home remodeling. Gotta love it because you never stop doing it.

The Civic coupe looks much better than the sedan in any trim, IMO. Less dainty, more sporty and substantial.

The difference is that some can recognize/admit it and others cannot. To say the new Tundra is not competitive is like saying the next-gen Malibu isn't.

Don't like it.

A baby FX? Hmmm... I like the preview, though.

Design analysis? Do you have to get a college degree for that? I guess we all have those talents, huh?

Not the best design from a ergonomics stand point but it does fit in with MINI's quirkiness.

Nothing like a $30,000 a year party, huh?

It's not aggressive enough for me, at least the front end. Not even close. The Charger's exterior beats this anyday. That being said, if the window/door lock controls are moved to the door and the color combinations are a bit more muted the interior would be fine, IMO. GM must price this correctly in order for these cars to move. I hope the "it's a RWD, V8, fast car" mentality is thrown out the window when it the pricing is done. I would like to see a high end V6 but I understand the arguments against it.

The hood scoop and wing look terrible but the rest, including the new front fascia, look good, IMO.

Indeed, they do not look so bad and out of place now that they are on.
