You just described the entirety of the business model for Porsche so I say it can work for them.

The Buick looks sorta frowny or mad, but the Camaro just looks squinty to me.

The number one thing I would like to see dealers do better online:

I would add to that: Truck drivers. Those jobs can go to hell too.

While a lot of what you’re saying just sounds like sales and marketing regurgitation, I’m glad to hear that they can hold their own competing. We need good competition in the space. I’m sure a lot of that is regional. I’m in the Atlanta area and for whatever reason they don’t do as well here. Could very well be the…

I would be curious to hear the differences in the profit margins for Audi, MB and BMW.

I couldn’t really find an image of one of these unmolested for fairly obvious reasons, but here is a 1995 Honda Civic.

Then how do you explain Acura?

Agree to a certain degree. There is a wheel size that will look better on a car that fits the proportions of the car.

I would add that for the love of god would every single car seat manufactured allow for the seat to be tilted independently for the front of the seat and rear to account for the fact that people have different leg lengths.

What you are describing is a much more performance oriented driving technique but the discussion was more about how average (below average?) drivers were confusing the brake and gas pedals. So my second paragraph was attempting to describe someone trying to hold both feet in the air while trying to decide which pedal…

I would actually love this vehicle if they would offer it with an engine that didn’t make it feel neutered.

This is the reasoning I learned regarding why you should never drive with both feet, and I think it is sound:

Now it came down to options. A manual was a must. I know the DSG is faster to shift and an all-around fantastic dual-clutch auto. I’ve driven a DSG a few times and was impressed, but rowing through the gears is just too much fun to give up.

Between the gas prices and the narrow, 500 year old streets, I’m surprised everyone there doesn’t just drive a scooter. Especially in places like Italy where the weather is nicer. Maybe not the greatest options for Ireland and the UK.

Same here, even if we don’t feel the pain quite as bad as our European friends.

I have actually had conversations exactly like this.

This is true, but let’s just say our tolerance for price fluctuations is probably a bit higher than the average driver.

Maybe Delphi should invest in building some airbags. It seems like there is some built in demand there.

I’m curious. What is involved in the RBPN? Is it just a statement that basically says, “This car that you are purchasing for $5,000 is actually worth $3,500 retail” or are there specific details given to the purchaser?
