Intrepidation

Coolness, maybe that's what the SRT version will be.

I can't tell what the 3rd pic is...it doesn't enlartge properly for me...but I'm Gonna go ahead and guess it's the IS? I prefer the G35...sure the aluminum doesn't look like metal...it actually reminds me of cloth in it's softness and color...butthe design is so much better to me than BMWs. I respect BMWs cars...but that interior wouldn't look out of place in the early 90's.

No problem

Me likey

Good review.

The only thing is the IS isn't much of driver's car...it could have been so much better if Toyota had spent more time on driving dynamics. The chassis is there, the looks are there, the egine and the interior are there. But the V6 lacks a manual, the Nannies get in the way, and it doesn't feel as connected to the road as the BMW or the Nissan. The TL is pretty nice too, but I'm not a fan of the FWD layout...next gen CTS yeah I wanna see that sucker, but I bet it'll be too big for the class.

I have a program called StyleXP it lets you donload and use custom themes (skins). You can get the themes and the program at ThemeXP If I remember right the program comes as a trial, but you can find key gens for it

Revised Desktop, with new Visual Style. 1280 x 1024

But the 9-5 is ancient and is FWD...plus it has GM parts bin stereo face on it. I want something unique in my interior. Both the M45 and the G35 interiors may be a little busy (though I don't find them to be) but they are very nicely designed and shaped. I've always liked Inifiniti's taste in interior design.

Well I just downloaded 2.0 and I have to say I don't like the buttons (but there's a theme that switches it back to 1.5's ). I like the X button on every tab. But what's more awesome is that for the first time I'm actually looking at and getting add-ons. free FTP? Advanced ad blocker? Download Manager? f@#king sweet! I love Firefox!

IE7 is better than 6, but that didn't take much considering every other browser surpassed it years ago. How can you be to lazy to download firefox? It requires less typing than your post did and a few clicks of the mouse!

Except maybe looks. I don't care for the Elantra, personally I bet a `93-97 Prizm is more refined...but I dunno. Still if it's reliable than good for her...that warrenty will come in handy.

cuz it's Kia.

Nope, I still like the G35's a lot better, though the 3 looks better with the Nav.

yeah it does.

That's a brilliant idea to build a Jeep pickup. It'll help it compete with Hummer and give DCX a compact pickup again. Plus it looks retro cool, and like a Jeep should. I can easily see this selling. Ditch the stupid Compass and build this!

Yeah but if they really were premium and the interiors reflected that they'd also be like "Wow...that's a Chrysler interior?!"

*Rereads razor's comment* Ok well, while the first part of the original post was a joke that could be laughed at, the 2nd is somewhat out of line, especially since you know he's having issues in that cituation. Why be so stubbon and why not just apolgize rather than trying to justfiy it in some philosophical way? -- BTW, what's the sticker say anyway? Maybe I can't make it out cuz my monitor's not the sharpest at 1280x1024 (hope to get a new one soon), but it's too blurry for me to make out.

ooooooook then... Also, that insult was lame, and you were in the wrong with your earlier posts.

I sure hoep Saturn gets this car.

I'm sorry, but that's just stupid. While I agree that Dodge and Chrysler are too close together as far as price goes, they certainly shouldn't be broken off and given to the highest bidder. And while not all of their vehicles are great, many are far from junk. The Ram is not junk, it's a fine piece of machinery that is supierior to the pre-07 GTM-900 trucks. Sure it's not as good as the new ones now, but it's older so what do you expect? Plus it's still a good truck. The minivan are still the segment leaders asa far as market share and the most innovative (Stow `n Go), and will be redesigned soon. The Caliber is still a compact and is a good car, even wth a plastic interior, plus there's going to be a subcompact at some point soon. The Sebring sedan may be a joke, but the Avnenger looks much better, and the Sebring coupe may be the saving grace of the car. And if it weren't for the LX's...you probably wouldn't be getting your precious Zetas as GM would see no reason to build an RWD platform and would continue to shove V8s in old FWD platforms. Yeah Chrysler has made some stupid mistakes and bad designs lately, but so has the king of all bad designs and mistakes, GM. You want a joke? How about the current Malibu? The Aztek? The crummy engines in the Equinox, the badge job G5 (no more badge jobs my ass), the SSR (while I like it, it's just as much of a failure as the Prowler was), the Ion when it first came out, and all of the Saturns up to this point for that matter, and all of GM's minivans. The list could go on I'm sure, but that's sufficient. On another note, I wonder why DCX doesn't push Chrysler further upmarket. Sure it would end up competing with Mercedes, but the profits go to the same place, and they'd probably attract different customers anyway. Plus they'd get higher profits by being able to charge more.

I just realized that Kia's Optima, at least the fron end, bares quite a resmblence to teh Q45. Though at least the Infiniti has a nicer interior. Am I the only one who noticed this?

I emailed him the following: Oh man, that's hideous! You couldn't pay me for that...and you want 300k for it? It doesn't even have a hemi! Those wheels are stupid and what's with the pink walls? The paint job is retarded! What in the world were you thinking?

No but it looks a better and a lot more inviting than the Bimmer's

Tough call...really...
