BMW CS1- Butter!

<a href="http://www.edmunds.com/news/autoshows/articles/49774/page003.html"; target="_blank">I want it! </a>



New Audi S8- 400+ HP



Nissan Skyline coming in 2004!

and more! Geez our children are going to have it made! I mean in 15yrs "econo" cars will sport 200HP engines. Hybrids will be the norm for Enviro Connscious fans and sports cars fans will have Rockests with Wheels.

    Yeah, cars are getting so nice. I can't figure out which one to buy. So far the Audi A4 is in the lead, but I still haven't looked at the new Infiniti G35.

    Saw a new Black A4 yesterday and got a case of Instant Envy.The fit and finish is immaculate. I think the German Automakers are just outclassing even Japan now in the uperscale Sport Sedan market.

    How could you prefer any of those cars to the new GT40?

    Would go for the BMW, it's awesome. But in general, cars are getting really nice these days. Sort of new generation design that maybe started with the Ford Focus, ie, "New Edge" design

    That GT40 has two speeds: stop and fast! Nice.

    If I was exorbitantly wealthy I would have a GT-40 in my driveway very very quickly.

    I find KidRed's comments very funny since the GT40 was designed in the image of the Ferrari GTO and to beat it at everything. And it did. The original 1964-6 GT40 looks infinitely better than any Ferrari available at the time. The Ferraris out at the time remind me of Datsuns.



    AND production will most likely be based in Italy by Pininfarina.



    The original GT40 was also built on a Lola chassis in England! Even Carroll Shelby was involved with GT40 design. Sure, Ford is an American brand, but the design is hardly American. It's like calling Jaguar, Volvo, Rover, and Aston Martin American.



    Hey, I like import cars more than domestic cars too, but some of the greatest cars are American muscle cars. I love the Dodge Viper and Ford GT40. They have more soul than any of the post Enzo Ferrari cars. The last Ferrari that really turned me on was the F40.

    The previous Cadillacs were much nicer than the new "edgy" ones. The new Cadillacs just look hideous.



    And the only Cadillac that I sorta liked was the Catera...which was really just a rebadged Opel, designed for European drivers.

    The Catera got high marks for its ride and handling, but it was boring looking. The CTS, according to a few reviews I read, handles like the BMW 3 series, but is as large and comfortable as the BMW 5 series, and costs about the same as the 3 series.



    As for the looks, I kinda like the edgy style but i don't like the way they designed the grill. I like the grill on the XLR better........................

    hah!



    moron!



    nothing in the price class handles like a 3 series.





    it's a bionic extension of your body, the steering and handling on any bmw.



    instead of reading cadillac propoganda, how bout test-driving something?





    note: cts LOSES every magazine comparison test to the 3er.
