Cue the “If you can read this, the bitch fell off” T-shirt ;)

Very interesting - from a naming standpoint. I never knew about the Montreal.

Very nice. I never knew this car existed. If it wasn’t identified as an Alfa, I don’t think I could place it by the profile. I might have guessed a Javelin. 

Ya, I purposely didn’t get the TRD trim on my Tacoma because of the ‘hood scoop’ Visibility is already bad enough when cresting a steep hill.

These are usually hand-me-downs from military to police depts.   No sense letting an out of date combat vehicle go to waste. 

Nah, this has more mass.  Solara.

See 2nd Gear.
Ford, and every other company, didn’t set up operation in Mexico because they wanted to help Mexicans rise out of poverty and value them as human beings. It was to exploit low wage workers to improve the bottom line.

Alternatively, the cheaper car suffers from over-engineering and high priced parts that are common with the premium model.  My ‘99 Passat suffered all the coil, timing belt and suspension problems of the A4.

Oh great, you had to bring up the G20 :(
Wasn’t that Infiniti’s Cimarron?

Make the motors run in opposite directions and call it an Electric Asynchro Westy!  

Can I offer you a Trabant? 

“odometer hasn’t even spelled 80085 yet”

I think you’re on the wrong site to be boasting about an Altima ;)

I wouldn’t trust a brake job done by the same dealer trying to pass off that car as CPO in the first place. Just walk (run) away.

Ya, but the take-rate for manuals is maybe 5% in everything other than a Miata. That will make little difference to success of a near-luxury I6 sedan. Mazda needs to ensure they attain significant market share in the CUV/SUV and compact car markets. I think the market would accept a Mazda compact / mid-size pickup…

I came here to say I hope Mazda cans the plans for the I6 powered sedan. It’s only going to make them lose focus, when they really need to keep pumping out home runs like the CX-5. They need more cash cow models like Toyota or Honda have before they try to go upmarket.

How about a Rent-to-Own plan? They’ve got cars just sitting there, insured, licensed and depreciating.

Surely the aftermarket has a fuel tank/pump solution? Also I’d expect a decent independent BMW shop to have a work around for this.

Was gonna comment the same thing about the Honda power. I really don’t understand why Aston Martin would put their title sponsor name on a car powered by Honda (even though they use Mercedes engines on their street cars). A-M just seems like a bunch of whores..... ;)   

I do really like VAG vehicles. Have been looking at a Golf Wagon and an A4 Allroad. I’m bouyed by the positive comments here on recent VAG vehicles.
