I’d probably have one too if they weren’t unobtainable without paying for the dealer’s new boat.

When ever I see an OEM use Nexen or one of these second (or third) tier brands it is just disappointing.

We might buy a van, and I can’t get off the Sienna as being the best option. Going to the Honda getting 22 mpg (with FWD) instead of 36 (with AWD) just feels like settling. I do like that the Honda’s second row actually is removable, but that isn’t a show stopper either.

What about that Comanche next to it?

1000% with you on the black wheels. Enough. I don’t get why it persists either. Celebrities stopped driving “murdered out” car like 10 years ago.

If they do that, it will be more than the TLX Type-S, which is $56k today.

I’ve see this on a MDX and TLX...it looks good to me.  I could do without the white interior, but you can spec the TLX to have it with black leather. 

I need BMW to get that piano black crap off the back of the M240i and then we can talk.  This is a far better looking vehicle. 

The TLX Type-S is $56k today, so they really can’t make the Integra much more than $50 before it encroaches on their own offering.

I’m with you. I live on the east coast. I’d fly to Washington to buy a car at MSRP and drive it back versus give the local dealer a $10k markup.

Bad service is hard to overcome.  Not that you need to use the dealer, but in the event you need a warranty repair, you don’t want that to be awful. 

Yeah that is the same deal for that Dodge/Ram/Jeep dealer. I’ve read many accounts over the internet of people special ordering from them at a good price, they pick you up at the airport, give you the keys to your new ride and you’re off.  They’ve just decided to try and focus on selling people what they want (special…

I’d rather spend my money on a nice stock version. The supercharger has no value to me. And for $36k, hail damage really shouldn’t be in the mix.

Oh I know. One of the reasons I wanted to get one when they came out. Figured they’d be easier to obtain by now.....so far that isn’t working out.

In casting my wide net for possible inventory, I’ve seen some dealers putting “price for local customers” type of caveats on their website.

Most consumers seem to have the memory of a goldfish, so I’m sure they’ll be back at the scummy markup dealer in a year if they’re dangling an in-stock vehicle they want.

Ah yes, how could I forget about the “classy” Infiniti clock.

Exactly. $110k buys a legit sports car, engineered by professionals to do sports car things.

My thoughts too, although I was leaning towards RAV4...hybrid I guess for better range. 

If there was one near me, I would certainly go there over just about any other fast food place. Unfortunately I don’t think there is even one in the state at the moment.
