    Audis are pretty sweet. I love their interiors. A buddy of mine bought a '13 A7 as a CPO last year after his low mileage '02 Maxima was totaled from a Colorado hail storm. The A5 and A7 are my favorite Audis, but as with any used luxury car, I wouldn't want one out of warranty. No more old money pits for H-Cube.

    I'd take a 2015 Charger SRT-8. 2005 would be too old for a daily (too many years and miles). I wouldn't touch the Audi without an extended warranty.

    If they would normalize the front to be similar to the new Compass and GC, that would help a lot. The current one looks violently ugly w the headlights so low and the grille bending over the hood, IMO. Never understood the thinking behind putting the headlights where the fog lights should be. Just looks awkward.

    The Model Y is going to follow the Model 3 and be the small CUV, I've read...

    Also known as the Qashqai in Europe. While watching a British crime drama last week, I heard a couple of references to a suspect's 'Cashkey' then I realized what they were talking about when the car was shown..

    The Juke is distinctive, doesn't look like anything else on the road. Sat in one at an auto show once, the rear seat area seemed cramped and it felt very narrow inside...

    The NSX. Now if that were a 993 911 Turbo in Mexico blue, then I'd be probably go for the 911...

    That's actually an SEC interior (2dr). The SEL didn't have the center console, and had a reclining back seat.

    You can't compare engines from the 70s with engines of today...that's madness.

    I didn't take pics as it had the same appearance as the one seen on Autoscoops and other sites. Black and white pattern camo, black around door handles, front and rear diapers. Not much to see. Looked just like this: https://goo.gl/images/nsgqJ5

    Saw a heavily camoflaged '18 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited here in a mall parking lot in central Phoenix this afternoon..

    The model year 2017 version of UConnect has Apple Car Play and Android Auto...alas, my 2014 doesn't. Don't know if it is upgradeable....I have my iPhone paired and am able to play tracks off of it and make/receive calls through UConnect via Bluetooth. As far as cords, I got a 3 inch USB to Lightning cable so I can charge and put the phone in the center stack cubby...

    'N' is no worse than 'F' or 'V-series', I suppose...at least AMG was an acronym originally and 'M' originally signified the German for Motorsport, I believe...

    Chevy had a short-lived V8 in 1917-1918, and none again until 1955.. Ford's first was was the flathead in 1932? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Series_D

    As a software engineer, I do enjoy geeking out over gadgets and technology. My Jeep is my first car w/ a touch screen, push button start, etc. and so far I'm enjoying it... between the touch screen and the usual radio controls on the back of the steering wheel (very similar to my old Jeep), and the dash HVAC controls I find it all very easy to use. As for home automation, I've been investing in it on my new house...it's nice to be 2000 miles away and control the alarm system, check the inside and outside cameras, and adjust the thermostat from my phone. Next additions will probably some automated lighting and maybe blinds. Not sure if I'm ready for electronic locks yet, though.

    I've put 1000 miles on my Jeep in the first 7 weeks of ownership (it sat for a week while I was in Ohio). Other than a road trip up north on April 1st, my driving has all been around town...averaging 18.x mpg. Definitely filling up less frequently--about every 10 days instead of every 6 days w/ my old Jeep. Bigger gas tank, better mileage. Really been enjoying it. So many technology upgrades compared to my oldie..2 generations of evolution. The V6 and 8spd auto is very smooth and quiet. Great sound system, so many choices for content..CD, USB, Sirius XM, etc. My first big road trip will be the 2000+ mile drive to Cleveland, tentatively scheduled for Memorial Day weekend.

    I've been in shock all day..been a huge fan since first hearing Soundgarden...love them and Audioslave, along w/ his solo work..what a voice.

    Never cared for the styling of the XTS, esp. the front...I liked the DTS quite a bit, enjoyed the one my sister and I had for 4 years. I wouldn't mind a late DTS as a cruiser... I do like the 'type' of Cadillac the XTS represents, though..the traditional comfortable luxury cruiser Caddy rather than the Audi/BMW/MB style 'serious' models..there is a place for both kinds of Caddy, IMO.

    That was true in Colorado as well.. Here in AZ it's a mix...some people probably do take them in the mountains..but a lot more of them are probably 2wd though and are driven around town....I was at my neighborhood car wash Sunday, so many black luxury SUVs around here....BMWs, Mercs, JGCs, etc...

    On the 480 freeway south east of Cleveland Friday afternoon during rush hour traffic I saw a very clean black and yellow '55 Olds 98 4dr ht. As I was approaching it, I expected to see an elderly driver but the driver looked like he couldn't have been over 20...wearing a high school varsity jacket. Looked like he just driven it off a 1955 movie set.

    Hmm...my response went in the wrong thread...thought I was replying to the Alfa Stelio thread..
  22. Robert Hall
    Kind of a Guilia tall hatch... reminds of the Infiniti something that was based on the G35/37...(EX?)

    I said nothing about the poor in those countries. Talking about regulations and mandated safety features. The absence of regulations results in the absence of safety features...
  24. Robert Hall
    Or a muscle car....sports cars are more about the whole driving experience, not just simple straight line performance (which is such a one-dimensional measurement of performance).
  25. Robert Hall
    I don't really get the high performance CUV/SUV niche...I'd rather have a Trailhawk over a Trackhawk. I like luxury SUVs with some off road capability...practical, rugged, yet comfortable.
