That's what I have.

You should. It's amazing.

I own one. 2001 740i Sport - Imola over black - widescreen nav. Her name is Vera.

My pretty lady Vera disagrees with the article's assessment of BMW styling for the E38.

Isn't she pretty?

Cab forward, byotch. Recognize.

Also, a 32V V8? Nice.

Targas are primarily targeted to the northern climate regions, where Cabriolets DON'T sell that well.

The Targa is a nice middle for someone who doesn't want a full soft top if they get a REAL winter.

I can't wait to sell out of these things.

Most folks who bitch about what Porsche DOESN'T build wouldn't buy whatever they are complaining about anyway.

98% of buyers CHOSE PDK on the last Turbo. So, Porsche, logically, did away with the manual, seeing as how only 2% of buyers took when they could. Now, the only thing

Well, let's not make a big deal out of it.

We have plenty - PLENTY - of clients at the center who have little to no issues whatsoever. We do quite a bit of routine maintenance only.

But, for many people, perception is reality, and regardless of the state of things, they'll believe what they want.

The Range Rover - model and nameplate - are legendary.

Yes, the Patrol is legendary in rest of the world. The Range Rover is legendary, period.


You're only 'meh' if you've never driven it.

It's amazing, and will redefine performance for you.

I guarantee that Infiniti QX56(80) buyers are NOT Range Rover buyers.

We have both brands on our campus, and there is NO crossover shopping between full-size Range Rovers and the QX. NONE WHATSOEVER.

If you've spent any serious length of time in either vehicle, you'll know that the only thing that the two vehicles share

Cool - I played Total Annihilation, too!!

For one, smacking a starter with a hammer CAN fix the issue, from time to time. I know from experience, and also watching an Infiniti tech wail on one in the service drive yesterday.

Also, my favorite is when a character, running low on fuel, taps the fuel gauge as the engine is dying. As if that will free up some

Quote a few of our Turbo/Turbo S/GT3 customers track their cars regularly.

For them, and the Porsche engineers, being faster and better than the competition is more important than the 2% or less of actual buyers who opted for the manual in the last Turbo iteration.

Most people who complain have, and never will, drive
