Interior looks pretty bland for a $70K car... it's gizmoes over style.

I can make ANY vehicle get 16 MPG easily... that's just ONE observation.

The RAV4 has the most fuel efficient V6 in its class... But none of that matters, because it's not "being right."

The '99 to '04 Odyssey was a stunner.

Double Double well done animal style

Hmm... at the moment, it's the CL65 AMG, the pinnacle of absolute luxury, effortless speed, and useful technology, IMO. * 612 hp/738 lb-ft * PRE-SAFE: brakes, adjusts/inflates seats, and warns driver when crash is imminent * DISTRONIC PLUS: completely foot-free cruise control, even during stop-and-go traffic * hardtop * Intelligent Light System: five headlight functions to match weather/driving conditions (bi-xenon, of course) * radar parking: measures length of potential parallel parking space and provides steering angle guidance (w/camera, of course) * infared headlamps * keyless ignition, of course * heated/ventilated active seats, of course * and clever details like a dehumidifier (no window fogging/defrosting), seatbelt-use sensors that dictate A/C priority and passenger headrest position, memory card slot, infinite vehicle settings adjustments through COMAND (like how long the rear license plate light stays on after exiting the car) I also have a thing for the TrailBlazer SS right now...

Nice. I look forward to seeing them.

BTW, I haven't found much official CR-V info yet... I wasn't aware Honda released pics yet. Did they say how much horsepower it has?

Nice review... I'm assuming the Escape and RAV4 were four-bangers. I'm sure testing the V6 versions, something that CR-V doesn't offer, will be a different story. The 270-hp RAV4 Sport is pretty compelling, trashy interior and all.

We did look at the Fusion, but we ended up getting an M3. Some pics... http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/4027/m3wc4.jpg

I love it. This will be my next car.

What's wrong with NPR?

The QQ won't be imported.

It's lighter than before, and does 0-62 mph in 7.5 seconds, down from 9.2, according to Kia.

'Cause it's true.

The new 335d will also be available as a sedan, as will the new 197 hp 325d.

More details here; lemme do a FlyBold... The active sway bars should help improve ride quality and off-road performance, things that the current X5 can benefit from. This is the first 7-seat SUV that doesn't look motherly.

If "The Lounge" wasn't for member eyes only, I reckon this thread will spread across the internet rather quickly and end up with 9,875,447,128 views and 1,624 replies (and 1,524 new members). Do it, Fly!

'97 as a '98 model

Or crash one into a deformable offset barrier at 40 mph.

Well, one could just pay Terrapass $240 for those three cars to be carbon neutral.

* Only with manual transmission (LSD)

All diesels can use the new low sulfur diesel, but new diesels can't use old high-sulfur diesel, which is being phased out.

Or have the F430, rent it out for $250/day and buy another one after two years.
