~Revive Thread~

Some Lexus dealership is dying in my area...sad.

 

That brand is just another Japanese car brand' date=' nothing much.

Eh, better than Ford or Chevy.

-Thread Revival Jutsu!-

 

But those are American cars. >_<

 

What's wrong with american cars?

 

Too fast, hard to control. Japanese cars are teh shiz.

 

Actually, they're always misrepresented as that by video games.

 

If you've ever driven an American car, if it's a decent machine, it'll run fine.

 

I don't know, Chrysler 300C's felt pretty nice, a bit heavy, but still nice.

 

Ironically, our Lexus dealer is huge.

Hey I like cars... and Top Gear.... I know! I'd like to join.

 

1: Bengal

2: Chevrolet Corvette Z06 [spoiler= Image]xom6wh.jpg

I've loved Corvettes for a while now, may not be the fastest or the most exotic looking, but there is a sort of sentimental bond.

3: Yes, 2008 Honda Accord EX 4cyl

 

By the way, even though I'm not technically a member yet...

 

Pagani vs. Koenigsegg

 

Well both companies put out fast, unpractical, and great looking cards. I would say Koenigsegg is superior in the looks department, but that is really just an opinion. Koenigseggs also are faster overall, but that really only counts on the track. It truly comes down to which way you like your doors to open.

Considering Lamborghini has been owned by AUDI (Volkswagen) since '98, their 3 models after the Diablo don't really have the Italian roots.

 

However it could be argued that those 3 models, the Gallardo, Murcielago, and Reventon are the most desirable, and are definitely the best looking.

 

In my opinion, a Lambo is what you buy if you have obviously a large pocket book, and want to stand out, just look at the stock colors they come in.

 

If you own a Lamborghini, you've "made it" in some way, and that's really what they are about. Not to mention they are pretty cool.

Nice we have a discussion going!

 

For me lambo=diablo. I'm not a big fan of superleggera and reventon. Countachs are also nice. I find that lamborghini is now building cars that look good and they should be focusing on building good cars. I mean before the McLaren F1 a diablo was the best thing you could get. Now you only buy a lambo for the look.

AUDI is part of the group which includes others such as Bentley and Bugatti that are part of the Volkswagen Group. They are called subsidiaries' date=' which means they are "controlled" by the parent company, being Volkswagen.

 

It has been so since 1964 in AUDI's case.

It looks like you have done Business Studies, am I right?

 

Anyways, new topic: Awshum stuff I found out on Yahoo:

Yes, but that is more of something I came across as a result of my interests in cars and the industry.

 

----

 

About the new BMW concept, first of all, it looks great. Especially for a hybrid, as the "stigma" of sorts surrounding hybrids is that they aren't the most stylish of cars (unless of course you count the Tesla).

 

I like the neon lighting, the large wheels, and the way it looks as if it is scowling at you from the front.

 

The performance also seems very respectable, 0-60 in 4.8 seconds is comparable to the 09 M3, and maxing out at 155 is impressive for an electric hybrid car. The projected range of 400 miles is also high.

 

If BMW set out to make a "cool" hybrid, I think they accomplished their goal.

 

Here are some more images/information about it:

lamborghini's

 

This guy I know once saw a VW Passat and said it was a lambo. It was lol.

 

You are talking about my brother there mate... He sucks like that. He once saw an MG and thought it was a Lotus.

New Topic: Has anyone heard of the Audi R8 Spyder, it is the most beautiful car I have ever seen. If I waas old and rich enough, I would buy one in each color.
