yeah, real coupes are hardtops without b pillars

well, mazda has an RX8 that will run circles around just about any honda....er.....acura. the RL interior is spooky because its not stylish or functional. nice materials, but the design is creepy. funny how hyundais first try at a lux car makes something like the RL pretty much useless.

sat in it. spooked by it. if honda wants to sell a premium honda, drop the price. the RL is what, 50k? for 50k you can get a real luxury car, not just a pimped up honda. acura's existence also dumbs down regular hondas. look at the new accord. dynamically its still good but now honda is fine styling cars like kia and such. not good for honda as a whole. mazda is poised to be a huge thorn in acuras side. nicer cars than acura for thousands and thousands less. the cx-9 is making the mdx its bitch and it looks like the new 6 will make the tsx/tl pair its bitch too.

no. the genesis lacks AWD option and that is a flaw. just as it is a flaw for the G8 as well.

http://www.edmunds.com/apps/vdpcontainers/.../pageNumber=1#1 this might be a sleeper to be my next car if it turns out to be somewhat nice

all of nissans 'new models' lately have merely been thin evolutions of the previous version. i had hoped the max would have been changed a lot. guess not. nissan will need a new styling direction soon.

there are like 3 or 4 e-85 stations within 5 miles of my house. of course, the MN corn growers office is right by a couple of those pumps. go figure

the RL was a C/D ten best, yet it can't sell to save its life. product excellence is no longer enough. there is a weird perception factor that drives everyone to purchase what they do, aside from things like styling, which is where acura is fumbling. although, i think the genesis is flawed in that it does not have AWD.

if this happens, i hope no one buys anymore jeeps here. nardelli. he raped home depot and he is piloting the boat that will rape chrylser. i am sure he will get a second gold parachute out of that one. to me, its akin to selling harley to the japanese or chinese or something. at some point Americans will sit up and put an end to this. We are reaching a point where people are starting to become aware that their product choices do affect their lifestyles here in the US.

i SHAWD-do hope that fixes it then. doesn't cure 61% weight on the front wheel tho

exxon 40 billion profit GM 39 billion loss guess we know where the priorities are in this country

i will say this. it has a real RWD chassis and a real v8 so it does have instant cred over the RL. It has styling and interior edges as well.

well, enjoy hanging out at hollywood hotspots in your HYUNDAI then. do you wear faux cologne too? it's not POLO it's HORSEY

taylor swift is the real deal. grammys are pure music industry indulgent bull$h!. a worthless indicator of what people really like.

last i checked. i live here. and usa is getting a 3.5 v6. finally, a real engine in a mazda. vigor and legend were nice looking.

saab cut your prices and bring out new models! saab needs an all new 9-3, 9-5, 9-2, 9-7, 9-4 and aero x / sonnet its gm's own fault if their sales are low. i read that saab is planning to expand sales in russia

in case people haven't seen it, Road and Track has a seriously good write up on the 3 door Astra XR. a very nice review. check it out. blu that means you too.

did you like the G8 interior? was the HHR SS there?

the part they forgot to mention. the v8 genesis will be 40 grand. the other part people conveniently forget. the 335i is always 45 g plus. one excoworker female got a 325 or 328 or whatever. another coworker is getting one. i wonder if it will even have real leather. vinyl seats in a subcompact car and you hope its less than 40k.

taylor swift is really really attractive. wow. amy winehouse kind of needs to get her act together.

yeah but at least the mazda looks nice and has an engine under the hood

ah, do it.

that's where i got my aztek. i love what they did with their dealership. one of their sales guys is the brother of my dads most recent boss before he retired. my dad used to know the rydells who started it many years ago and used to sell implements to them. he's probably gotten over 10 vehicles from them over the past 30-40 years. now they have mondo dealers across the country, including the ford dealer by my house here where i got my 500. in both cases the sales experience has been excellent. they also have some saturn franchises down here too. they have a BPG dealer in SF too i think.

your point might be valid if we were referring to actual acuras. as it is, a rebadged 4 popper pint sized fwd accord holds about as much appeal as a luxed out camry unfortunately. it needs to stop being a 'premium economy car'. looks-nothing power-nothing interiors-middle of the road for luxury segment dealers-arrogant the tsx's interior has the same mess of buttons as the toro and bonne which is why the pics were on there. same jumbled mess of crap on the dash
