Building Q5 in Mexico seems like a terrible idea. Mexican built VWs aren't exactly known for having the best build quality or reliability...

I've seen that profile somewhere...oh yeah, Audi R8.

BMW might want to look up the definition of "cannibalization." Somehow I don't think transmission options are quite enough to effectively segment potential buyers. However, the car's success will be further proof that when it comes to anything with a BMW badge, "these idiots will buy anything." [full disclosure, I'm…

I have 2010 3s 5 door (in black to hide the grin) that's coming up on its lease in May...if they brought a 5 wagon back and it looked like this might...yeah it would be on my short list along with a used 3 series wagon or a4 avant.

Yep, definitely Russia.

My wife and I leased a Cooper HT a few months ago and quickly fell in love with it. So much so that when my Mazda 3s 5 door lease is up we would actually consider getting another Mini as a the "family" car...but the Countryman in all-4 S trim is too expensive and off-mission to make sense vs buying a used a4 avant or…

It's called complacency. Can't stay at the top forever.

History shmistory. What's another company with sucky products but a long-term history...oh yeah Kodak. Oops.

So we're seeing (low-res) photographs of paintings of photographs. Mind blown. Not really.

Ok, the original shot was, but no more!

That lead shot looks decidedly like Chernobyl and not Fukushima.

I really like HTC Trophy, it does pretty much everything I would want to do on this form factor very well. There is, however, one glaring omission that users have been asking for since pre-NoDo: support for EAP-TLS which continues to be missing. So much for being able to connect to my school's secure WiFi.

Yes, CRVs!! They tend to only go to one extreme or the other...either completely overconfident and aggressive or lacking basic situational awareness.

Does this count as preseason testing?

SS67 between Il Bagno and San Godenzo, Italy. Accidentally discovered it on the way from Ravenna to Florence on a family vacation a few years ago in a rented Alfa 159 wagon. Beautiful views, not a lot of other cars. The section before and after Cavalino is particularly entertaining. [g.co]

Here's the maplink to CA130, this makes me want to hop on a plane and go there right now.

I travel the 91/95/84 corridor pretty frequently and actually love taking CT-15 instead of 95. Granted, I avoid driving the route during high traffic, but I think it's a much more enjoyable and scenic drive than 95. Yeah, there are occasional idiots on it and a few very narrow lanes in construction zones, but it's…

200lbs sounds a bit puny, no?

Seriously, who hit Honda/Acura with the ugly stick.

Who gives a flying f...especially when 98% of MC679LL/A are going straight into a case. I could never understand the point of designing the thinnest, prettiest, whateveriest phone is going straight into a case.
