I have to agree, I think it looks worse
-
Probably the only reason to get Buick over Malibu or other car in the segment is to get TourX, not the Sportback
-
@dfelt No, Yamaha is too extreme. This is the one (Actually, I would love to have it too)
-
@Drew Dowdell Nice bike! I love naked standard bikes I always lusted after the Ducati Monster 796 but the wife said no bikes until kids grow up So I will have to buy a Mustang probably
-
@Drew Dowdell is the job title by any chance "Lord god Genius in Charge"? or "Chief Awesome Officer" "Director of Underdog Concepts" "Idea Jedi" "Space/Time Specialist" "Director of Underdog Concepts"?

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints." Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections." The last said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before studying engineering, if someone asked me what 1+1 is, I would have said "2." Now, I'd say "I'm pretty sure it's 2, but we'd better make it 3 just to be safe." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How many nuclear engineers does it take to change a lightbulb? Seven. One to install the new bulb and six to figure out what to do with the old one for the next 10,000 years.

Once a priest asks a rabbi: "Tell me the truth: you never tasted bacon, not even once?" The rabbi says: "Well once, when I was young I was curious, I tried it once, yes it was delicious" Than rabbi asks priest: "Tell me the truth: you never had sex with a women, not even once?" The priests answers: "Well once, when I was young I was curious I spent a night with a woman." The rabbi than says: "No comparison to bacon isn't it?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once a rabbi and a priest find a bag full of money. They split the money and discuss what to do with it. The priest says: "I will donate all my share to the Catholic church to serve God" The rabbi says: "I will make a pact with God, I will throw all the money in the air, whatever he wants he will take, the rest will be for me"

I like it, similar to MDX but better proporions. Like the interior too. Thank god they put buttons for AC control, in current MDX you have to go through screen menus for basic functions, so stupid. -
First Toyota in a very long time that I really like. Will see how it drives, hopefully much better
-
What do you do with T.O.s'? "Turn-overs" at dealerships; not Toronto
ykX replied to trinacriabob's topic in The Lounge
I don't want a car salesman or for that matter a waiter to "kiss my ass". I think that is a distorted point of view on their job. I just don't want them to try to screw me up in the case of a car salesman. Unfortunately, there is a fair amount of dishonest salesmen that cause a bad perception of the general public. But being in a service industry or just being in the job working with people is very tough. -
The only brand they have that is "interesting" and have something different to bring to US market is Citroen
-
@Cubical-aka-Moltar Personally, not crazy about Germans as well. Audi is probably the worst offender. I think it is pretty hard to make a good looking coupe when the starting point a sedan. I think Q60 looks better mainly because the design is a bigger departure from Q50
-
I have to agree with @ccap41. Looks wise I think Infiniti is much better, especially rear IMPO. I like ATS sedan a lot but I never liked how they did the coupe personally. I think the rear quarter looks very awkward. Not crazy about the kink in the rear windows but otherwise the design and lines are much more cohesive in Q60.

And MB vs Caddi bickering goes on ... Love how it looks, interior looks great too.
-
I am a big Mustang fan and this exact one hopefully will find a place on my driveway in a few years but interior is not even close to the Lexus interior. On the other hand the Lexus costs almost double but it is not even close to being that much better. However, people buying car like that are not about value for their money IMO.
-
I think it is the first Lexus with predator grill that I actually like how it looks. Interior looks great. It is great GT car but it is not a sports car. Watched yesterday new episode of Top Gear were they actually reviewed this Lexus LC500 and then put it against Honda Civic type R on a track. Civic was easily keeping up with the Lexus on track. As many other reviews said it is a great GT car but it is not a sports car.

Buick News: Buick To Drop Name Badge Beginning in 2019
ykX replied to William Maley's topic in Buick
They are not doing it to save few cents on the cost of the badge. They are doing it to improve the image of the brand. -
I thought there is a system similar to a Carfax, because when a car is repaired by a dealer or some bigger private garage, the problem usually is entered into a system and recorded. The question is if it is reported to some sort of national database.
-
Yes, I am familiar with true delta but again it is based on the feedback from the owners of cars, therefore IMO it has same issue as CR statistics, probably even worse since CR has more members
-
Consumer Reports gets a lot of flak (a lot of it justifiably, some of it is not) for their ratings. Are there any websites that have actual repair statistics data for different models that accessible to general public?
-
@balthazar google GM class action suit and you get even bigger wall of search results
-
My friends had S60 from that era. Didn't drive it that much too but the amount of problems they had with it was pretty incredible. I think turned them off from Volvo forever.

Sales: Sales Figure Ticker: February 2018
ykX replied to William Maley's topic in Sales Figure Ticker
I agree, but RAV4 is old design. I am sure next generation will have turbo-four like CR-V and pretty much the rest of the segment. -
Sales: Sales Figure Ticker: February 2018
ykX replied to William Maley's topic in Sales Figure Ticker
Well, most of that price is the leather and electronics, and you get quite a lot of electronics today which cost money. I think all the active safety features we have today are what caused the biggest price increase.
