You might be able to buy a 308 GT4 for under $20k, but you certainly shouldn't.

whoa, blast from the past... I clearly don't remember what I intended when I wrote that two years ago, but I think I was being sarcastic... and unsuccessful at being funny.

They proved that they are lushes, who at 0.08 are barely able to stand up and form coherent sentences. I don't buy that their experiment accurately represented how a regular drinker functions at 0.08 or higher.

Aside from the fact that I don't care for the self-righteous attitude of motorcyclists and bicyclists that is dripping throughout this post, I have three reasons:

What does it say about the Mercedes brand right now that the first brand they think to compare to is Hyundai?

I agree that it's never been so tightly together, but there have definitely been two chrome badges together before.

It's not new, they are just going back to the way they used to do it. I don't think they even took the rear "Porsche" badge off until the 986/996 generation. The name was traditionally either on the rear decklid or the center reflector.

People who know everything tend to have better grammar than you do.

The primary difference between the SLE and SLT was that the SLT had leather, at least for this model year. Apparently the newer SLE's are available with leather.

The SLE was available with two-tone as well. I had a '99 SLE with two-tone.

I'm 6'6" (36" inseam) and I can drive one (somewhat) comfortably. My knees are against the dash, but I love that car so it's worth it. When shopping for a convertible, though, I went with the Boxster—much more room.

Lamborghini Countach. I rode in this exact car when I was probably 14-15, so I might have been 5'10" or so. It was incredibly uncomfortable—there was nowhere to put my legs. I shudder to think what, at my current 6'6", it would feel like to try to wedge myself into it.

Came in here to say the 88, figured it might have already been identified. Almost 100% certain.

It would make infinitely more sense, seeing as how pessimistic is a real word, and "pessimisting" is not.

It's been years since I've seen a nice E30. Sad.

Honestly, and I know this sounds a little crazy, for the same miles and same money I'd take the E36 over the E46. I've had two E39 M5s, an E36 M3, and an E60 M5... yet the E46 M3 never appealed to me. Too much of a compromise.

Well, yes. Unmodified and less than 100k miles, those are the ones I am usually keeping an eye out for. The E36, especially the coupe with those frameless doors, just isn't built to last 150k+ miles. Mine was sort of a rattletrap at only 80k.

Unmodified E36 M3. Sadly, they are now so inexpensive, there are few to choose from that haven't been modified or run into the ground.

I trust those guys for lots of things, but their taste in cars is not one of them.

Most manufacturers, regardless of origin, "just didn't do" cupholders in the 80s. They didn't become really popular until the 90s [citation needed].
