  1. Taurus sells very well in these parts. All the new cop cars are the Taurus and Explorers here now also.
  2. i was half heartedly joking. I am sure yours is a good buy since you take good care of it. A used car shop would probably get like 3 or 3500 for it in good condition.
  3. Yes, I was confusing it with the Quoris....... and congrats on the E! pictures! when they get it off the truck, hopefully unharmed in shipping. I'll give you 1200 for your Aurora, I don't care about the headliner!
  4. more than 22k, but i sht my pants yesterday as i actually saw a new Kia Cadenza in these fwd parts yesterday, with a new reg sticker on it. wait 11 months and you could prob get a new one for 25k! edit: never mind. i thought the cadenza was rwd but i guess it is front.
  5. how many miles on the Aurora now?
  6. http://www.harrystoyswi.com/2008-Cadillac-XLR/Used-Convertible/Milwaukee-WI/5152/2618790/Details.aspx too bad this caddy didn't have a rear seat and cost a bit less, it's a real looker.....
  7. meh. interior sort of interesting. roofline into tail and taillight swoop is interesting. doesn't really define the buick brand in any way...... Opel needs to butch up their designs a bit i think sometimes..... front is dull, too egglike, and the proportions are out of whack too...
  8. The guy we see at the donut shop every other sunday or so has a black Genesis, it's a nice looking rig. It does have a presence about it. The interiors I think they could have massaged a bit more ............ There really isn't a lot of RWD biased cars with v8 anymore, is there. Is an STSv out of the question?
  9. should fill a niche but Titans even if they update them will be somewhat ignored. The person who is looking for a Titan diesel will be a needle in the haystack. But give credit to Nissan for branching out this way.
  10. sometimes blu, its all about perception!
  11. congrats to you both. Encore is a nice ride and is a trendsetter. Let us know how well the intillink (SP) works and the gas mileage is what i am curious about. Love the interior seat color.
  12. looks ten years old. the car itself might be alright. Still, it's lacking something.
  13. lease a new mercedes for 10k miles a year, and keep your money in the bank. the Hyundai might be more reliable. The Mercedes is cooler. I suppose you wouldn't get an old G8 v8? Inifinitis aren't there M's and Q's and stuff too?
  14. one thing about the legacy and the outback to me that seem cheap, the seat sculpting. they are wide for Americans, but seem flat, lumpy and unsupportive, not shaped or contoured much. Just on first impression. How do the seats really feel?
  15. hilarious how BMW and Merc and now Jag are going to FWD and no one seems to cry foul about it.
  16. who gets the last laugh??? 4 speed manual!!!!!!
  17. Ahead of it's time I guess! I would love to get my hands on one and bring it over......
  18. I've driven the 2.5 but not the 3.6. I am certain the 3.6 would leave an entirely different perception. The Outback and Legacy can seem quite posh with the leather. With cloth and lesser trims, the cheaper dash plastic sort of shows off more. The seating is not car low and not crossover tall, it's kind of inbetween. If your frame of mind is you are driving a wagon, it seems tall. If you think you are driving a crossover, it seems lower than you would like. This vehicle was a huge step up for Subaru in size and feel and stuff. The Outback can feel a little slow in the steering and soft in the loafers but in comparo to a crossover its pretty good. The 2.5's get super mpg once the CVT winds down. I have a friend who told me once that 30 on the highway was no prob. I am keeping the Legacy sedan as a darkhorse in my mind as a possible future lease. This is exactly the kind of car that makes Subaru a Subaru and why they should continue to serve their niche well rather than diversify. I can see where in markets where AWD is not needed that maybe they consider offering a FWD Impreza and Legacy for example. Note to GM: that picture of the back seat is what real back seat leg room is all about. Hey GM why do none of your cars have this backseat leg room. Why can I get that on a 22k price Legacy?
  19. i tend to think more that if all the manufacturers thought it was a dandy idea to go back to low revving 2 valve motors they would.
  20. SRX 1st gen was a wagon. Current SRX might be a tarted up Vue, but clearly the look and configuration is more appealing to the market. CUV's pitch all wheel drive. I think platform subliminally sells too. EX35 was a major dud and had clearly visual RWD roots. FX infinitis did ok also but I do think they were limited in the market because of being perceived more as a car.
  21. the reason DOHC motors became popular (or at least one of them) was that they didn't display the trait of running out of breath. so if you can limit the valve area and reduce the rpms but still get it to feel like it has endless revvability, more power to you.
  22. helluva lot more rear seat room than a 2013 chevy malibu
  23. for contrast.......180 degrees opposite.....
  24. The previous pics did not do a good job at showing the side profile. In profile, it does look a lot nicer. Still think there is not much meat in the rear, but these pics are really darn nice.
  25. you had to bring excitement! into this thread.........
