I like how they did 2 separate fascias for the ones w/ and w/o foglights, instead of nasty black plugs like so many carmakers do...though I think the lower venting on the coupe is nicer than the sedan's...
-
Very cool...I like recent French concepts and production cars..very modernistic.
-
It will sell quite well, no doubt. Much nicer than the Camry, inside and out. And Honda will continue to contribute to the Ohio economy.
-
Hmmm...some BMW wannabe in the doors. I like the biege leather interior with the plood..the gray base interior is too dull. The lower slots in the bumper doesn't match the grille and look cheap and ugly...remind me of a faceguard on an old football helmet.
-
Some of the most irritating drivers are those that lack lane discipline..they drift over the line, etc..can't stay squarely in their lane. Or they change lanes without signaling. Or they change across 3 lanes w/ no signal to get into an exit lane..proper usage IMHO means get to lane next to the exit lane at least 2-3 exits prior, not at the last minute...
-
I'm guilty of all of these... and the people that play their music really loud at a light or whatever, it always seems to be the $h!tiest music (mindless rap or whatever)..
-
Well, it is supposed to start around $20k, so I wouldn't expect much as far as the interior...
-
Sleek, but just another FWD sedan... the greenhouse reminds me of the Intrepid crossed with the Peugeot 607.
-
Needs a name consistent with Dodge's aggro/outdoorsy naming scheme (Viper,Ram,Caliber, Avenger, Charger, Dakota, Durango). Maybe another Western place name like 'El Paso' or 'Laramie'. I do see an Omnirizon resembalance in the gauges, and the steering wheel reminds me of the first airbag wheels Chrysler used back in the day...

Brazil to provide free sex-change operations
Robert Hall replied to Oracle of Delphi's topic in The Lounge
Wierd...reminded me of Trinidad, Colorado...it's a little podunk town down near the NM border, known for it's sex-change clinic (was referenced in a South Park episode a while back). -
Interesting..just hard for me to believe big heavy cars like that getting that much mileage. Though I have seen my 5.0 Mustang get 27 on the highway, so I know it's possible for a V8 to get decent mileage...
-
Never heard of them either. One interesting regional gas brand we have here in the Rocky Mountain region (they are in some parts of the Midwest and South also, I think) is Sinclair. They have a green dinosaur as their logo.
-
Reg has quite the active imagination...
-
Hmmm...didn't those V8 B-bodies struggle to get 20 mpg? Anyway, it's $2.85 here in metro Denver... filled up the GC yesterday, getting my usual 16-18mpg with mixed city/freeway driving...
-
Hmmm... well, July 18th of next year I have my 20th high school reunion..not sure how I'll dress for that..not a kilt though... (though I definitely have Scots-Irish heritage). Since it's S. Florida (Marathon) in July, I want to be comfortable. It should be interesting..
-
Well, the fascia, rear bumper, rocker trim, etc is different.. it seems at least looking at the pics, the external trim difference between the IS350 and IS-F is similar to that of a regular C-class vs. an AMG version. Anyway, what's important is the hardware, which it seems Lexus has done a good job with..
-
Interesting..I thought that new fascia was only for the Super..so they are all getting it, eh?
-
It's got the serious hardware, though..I'm saying the whole package is sporty.. like BMW's M series cars or Merc AMGs, the body work is subtle (except for the side scoop). I wouldn't expect Lexus to do something with huge wings or hood scoops or other tacked on 'sporty' cheese like a Subaru WRX Sti or Mitsu Evo, for example..
-
It looks good..looks much better in production form than the prototype pics from a few months ago..too bad they kept the side ground effects gorp, though..it would look cleaner without the busy stuff on the lower front fender ahead of the door. Nonetheless, it is neat to see Lexus do something overtly sporty rather than just quiet luxury cars.

Sandusky, Ohio, on Lake Erie. Fun place. I used to go once a year to ride the coasters when I lived in NE Ohio and Michigan in the '90s.

Why has the PT not been put on the Caliber Chassis?
Robert Hall replied to 91z4me's topic in Chrysler
I'm not sure what the big difference would be..going from one compact FWD platform to another.... -
Something about Cheersandgears that I did not know!!
Robert Hall replied to Z-06's topic in The Lounge
Shh...not too loud..don't want the right wingers to find out and boycott the site and GM.. -
Boring..looks like the same old same old with a freshened face. The Land Cruiser needs to go back to its roots and go hardcore. This is redundant with the Sequoia and LX.
-
So, 6-8, when you going to do up your '71 Caddy hoopie donk style?
-
Not directions necessarily, but.. I get approached by Asian tourists wanting me to take a picture... (this has happened here in Denver, in Hawaii, in Cali, in London, in Rome, in Venice, etc...).. Some Germans once came up to me outside a Benihana here in Denver and asked me questions in German..I had no idea what they are asking.. A few years ago, as I was briskly walking through an airport, a woman asked me if I knew what time it was, I said 'Yes' and kept walking..
