Between those two choices, I’ll buy a GX460. The RX is probably a better daily, but it’s the epitome of boring. The X3M is probably more fun to drive but tacky. I’ll take the less tacky, somewhat fun (off road at least) GX.

Curse of regular cab pickups without an opening rear window. It’s unfortunately a fact of life.

I was going to start laughing about 10 seconds being reasonable, until I realized that my slow as TDI Sportwagen is still in the mid 8 second range for 0-60.

I was thinking along the same lines, but the one I came up with was the Plymouth Acclaim (evidently there is also a Triumph Acclaim) and Acclaim Entertainment.

So the ID.R is now the second fastest car around the Nurburgring. That’s pretty damn impressive.

As far as racing comedies go, I think it can be an intelligent comedy and not have to resort to the “punching down” method that Talladega Nights uses against NASCAR fans and drivers.

For me it’s LFA>CGT. Porsche doing a bat-shit crazy supercar is expected, Toyota doing a supercar of any kind is more impressive in my book. There’s a Jeremy Clarkson quote from the Top Gear review that goes something like “The LFA isn’t a Lexus, it’s Toyota showing what they are truly capable of.” I think it’s…

I bet the cars won’t sound as good as they did in LeMans. For a movie that’s almost 50 years old, the sound quality is amazing.

That’s only good if you enjoy the whole “stupidity as comedy” bit. I find Talladega Nights to be one of the most annoying movies ever made.

As my father used to say, “Germany will probably try to take over the world again, but this time they’ll do it with economics instead of the military.”

My lottery fantasies usual live in the $100K-125K range for road cars. I want old race cars more than any of the current high performance cars on sale. I’m to the point now where I don’t even know what Ferrari, Lamborghini, et al are actually selling.

I agree with you, but I don’t feel that you represent “most Americans”. Your argument was way too well written.

Funny, I had no issues with the F10 550i xDrive I bought at 60k miles.

Isn’t Disney already the darkside of a Disney/Pixar movie?

Face it most Americans still point at the Soviet Union as the reason why communism and socialism won’t work, even though that system was a heavily modified version of Marxism that became niether communist or socialist as soon as Stalin seized power.

Citroen still exists.

I do use an extended Golf platform as a daily but for some reason the MK6 Sportwagen is labelled as a Jetta.

Never heard of Roux before but $1400 for a carbon fiber helmet is pretty good.

The liveries are fairly half-assed tributes, but they should have been using throwback liveries the whole time.

Pretty much.
