  2. I have to protest your opinion that the interior of the TSX is "busy"...Hopefully you refer to the tech-package equipped TSX which is SLIGHTLY more complicated inside than the base model. However I think the layout of the TSX's dash is extremely minimalist and user friendly while not being absolutely boring like say a BMW.
  3. It still seems to be a popular car, at least in the NYC metro area. I get quite a few of them when working valet at the local catering halls. The CVT I guess is just something I'd have to get used to. It doesnt seem to work as well paired up with the 4-cyl in the Altima. Why have paddle shifters either?? Esp annoying ones mounted to the column that get in the way. (Yes, I'm aware that's the way they're "supposed" to be) That being said, I do like the wide and low-slung feel that you get from behind the wheel and some of the higher optioned models feel much nicer inside but then you're talking $40k plus which isn't much value for the money.
  4. more important than the question of can it be made into a performance sedan...does it still show the significant budget/engineering cuts thats been so glaringly obvious across VW as of late??

  6. "Like all other top shelf GMCs wearing the Denali badge, it is entirely an appearance and comfort package with no performance enhancements." Doesnt the Yukon Denali come with a 6.2 V8 and AWD instead of the 5.3 and 4WD thats on the standard yukon??

  12. http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/11/marchionne-jeep-is-finally-getting-a-pickup-kinda/ Marchionne: Jeep is finally getting a pickup... kinda by Damon Lavrinc (RSS feed) on Jan 11th 2011 at 11:55AM Jeep Gladiator Concept – Click above for high-res image gallery During a roundtable meeting in Detroit, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed that Jeep will be getting a new model in the near future, one that he's classifying as a "multipurpose" vehicle fitted with "a truck bed." Although Marchionne stopped short of calling the Jeep a pickup, he did reference the 2005 Gladiator concept (above) and said "there's better than a 50% chance that you'll get one." Just as intriguing, the perpetually sweatered-CEO told the assembled media that the cargo-hauling Jeep will come to market whether the Ram brand likes it or not, saying, "They're totally peeved off at the fact that we're going to have anything that looks like a pickup truck with a Jeep badge on it. I actually think there's space for it." So do we Mr. Marchionne. So do we...

    my b/f has an 05 (B6 Gen) A4 1.8T with automatic and quattro...its pretty decent however his has been solidly and thoroughly beat and dirtied on by him and his sister lol...both have little to no knowledge about cars beyond (passably) driving them...it currently has about 110k on it and still soldiers on but of course has had a ton of work done over the years yes...but no where near as beakish as the TL...by a long shot lol

    the grille really grows on you quickly..in fact im not a huge fan of the 2011 tsx grille i feel that its too one dimensional and the horizontal slats dont match the honeycombish look of the lower grille...the current style matches perfectly...also the polished aluminum blade really makes it classy looking and its not a protrudint beak like the TL's is. I love the way it drives and handles feels very planted and responsive however i feel like its a tad too high riding and the suspension is just a little uncomfortable on these $h!TY NYC area roads...i am slightly concerned about the build quality...just brought it in to have several rattles silenced and clips reattached :-/ not something i expected from a honda...the transmission is delightfully responsive..hope it holds up better than my moms former 03 accords did (total failure at 44k)...thats pretty much all i can think of aside from a few other small issues such as a few display settings not staying where i set them when restarting the car and just some unintended design flaw that allows water to basically POUR in during even a light rain when i crack the window to have a smoke...until i have the money for window deflectors ill have to keep a towel in the car to lay over the door electronics... thanks for the well wishes guys
