  1. Where do the turbos sit on the Subarus and is the flat 4 or 6 any advantage?
  2. Go to the Genesis dealer and check out the more refined (than the stinger) G70
  3. Well.. it could offer value. An A4 at this price point is going to be fairly low end and with a 2.0T while the Buick will be loaded and a V6
  4. But this way, its customizable.... someone in miami who doesn't need the button can move it off the page in favor of something else.
  5. Do you think you might consider this an Audi "lite"?
  6. -4 here
  7. XTS V-Sport is not defunct. Still there as the Platinum option.
  8. Can the GS mode send more torque to the rear? I thought that was a feature of that particular AWD system.
  9. Cool! Look forward to it
  10. Sweet lowrider!
  11. Welcome to Ye'Old C&G. I'm the landlord around these parts. Make yourself at home. We're a friendly lot, though we can get feisty with each other at times, it's all in good fun. That's what happens when a forum has a lot of the same people visiting for a decade or more.
  12. Looks good for a naked sports bike. Just not my personal style.
  13. "I didn't know it was wrong! Why didn't someone stop me?!" uh... I don't think that's going to be the best defense in court.
  14. Happy to have you back.
  15. I did say "Just about". I've looked at more than a few of those in your list, but a number of them aren't what I'm looking for. I'm very much into the "modern classic" look bike. The CB1000R, Monster, and Z900, for example, look very modern. The Ducati Scrambler was on the list, but I just like other bikes more for the same price. The list of what I like is very different from what you listed in the looks department. BMW R9T Scrambler Honda CB1100 EX (over the 500lb limit though) Kawasaki Vulcan S (only a 650, but pretty light and faster than some 900s) Triumph Bonneville 120 Max speed isn't my primary purchase reason, I'm still too new a rider for that. It simply has to have sufficient power while having the look I want. All of the above, with the possible exception of the Vulcan S, meet that. The weight limit thing is just to aid in long-distance transport so that I don't have to use a trailer. Still, with 110hp and 86 lb-ft of torque on 1170 cc of the R9T, "wiping the floor" will be more down to rider skill than bike performance in this grouping. I've ridden the R9T a few times and it is plenty good for me. My second choice is actually the CB1100 EX if it weren't for the weight. Such a smooth bike.
  16. I really like its looks and the boxer engine. It's also just about the largest engine I can get in a bike under 500 lbs.
  17. Again, these computers are not necessarily designed to be faster. They're designed to be paying attention 100% of the time. Even someone watching the road can be day-dreaming and not see something. I catch myself on mental autopilot often during my commute... not the best place to be when driving.
  18. @dwightlooi Would a hot-V twin-scroll setup for the turbo help a V6?
  19. If you're referring to the Regal, they were very jellybean compared to their direct predecessor. I know you weren't there, but try to look at it through 1989 eyes which were used to this. . The Cutlass Supreme then... same thing, just jellybeanier...
