She’s liking the Mazda CX9 to replace her CX5, so all isn’t lost. the 9 is a nice cruiser.

It is a polarizing design. I wanted my wife to consider one for our next family vehicle and she deemed it too ugly. Also, Ford already has the very popular Explorer in the same category, and most just opt for that instead

Do they still sell the Nissan Rogue “Select”? it is he old version of the Rogue that they decided to keep making, because why not?

VAG has been planning Audi’s exit from WEC for a while. Corporate was simply not going to support two redundant P1 programs indefinitely. There is precedent for this move. When Bentley was the VAG factory effort, R8 development ended... yet the privateer cars still won. Today, there is no hope for a privateer former…

Now that you can get a 4 door clubman with Awd, what is the purpose of this? body cladding? This is a soft road vehicle no matter what. Golf Sportwagon is a better buy in this category.

I think the only time to look at monthly payment is when you are checking your math not a lease. unlike purchase financing, you have to find the nexus between the sticker, residual, and sale price, and then add on money factor (interest).

Yup, you’re right. I’m confusing the GTS with the Competition pack.

They sell old product so that when they cut $12k off the sticker, the customer feels like he is getting something for his money. Somehow this works.

Was this suppose to be funny?

Optioned out this thing is what $90k? You can get a nice Cayman if you want more finesse, a decked out muscle car if you want more grunt, or a C63 if you want a luxury coupes with a big V8. Hell, if you want the most BMW like coupe, you can get a M2. I don’t get the appeal of this car.

The engine is now up to snuff, they must be putting their development budget towards the new car now, they should be decent.

Neither driver is on solid ground, maybe they get rid of both of them

Who are we kidding, the volume car will be a leased 530xi with halogen headlights and hubcaps.

It looks fine. Saw a nicely decked out current model 5 in white close up, and it looks the business. The interior is dated, options cost a fortune, most people will probably option it with a 4 banger that kind of sucks, and the handling ain’t what it used to be.

I thought I only had to hear from dumbass sovereign citizens when they are pro se defendants. Stupidity is spreading rapidly.

Cars and Coffee has been known for years to abuse killer Mustangs. Ignored by staff, fed 87 octane, these proud beasts were just bound to act on their primal instincts. I think it is time that these majestic creatures are released back into the wild, so no more poor souls must risk further attack.

Great choice, but I am biased because I am a Q50 owner. Great family car, makes good power, handles pretty well, and is not high strung and tempermental. You can get a 2013 lease return at 30k miles at around 24-25k, which will probably last you many years.

If we are talking GM, the Monte Carlo is subsumed by rental spec Camaros, the Buick Riveria is replaced with the Ats Coupe. The “personal luxury” coupe is still hotly contested, 4 series, RC, Ats Coupe, Q60, A5, etc.

If you want a slow regular coupe, get a late model Toyota Solara. It is a regular front drive car. I’m sure you can get a good deal on one these days, because there isn’t much of a market for what you are looking for

The GMC variants of these CUV’s look just a touch more handsome. It looks like the interior has a lot of the fit and finish of the new Malibu, which bodes well. However, I don’t see it striking fear into the Japanese and Korean competitors.
