<strong>Cars are uber nice now. I've got an '85 euro 318i (w/ full Alpina suspension thanks) and I remember back then (I was 14) I thought cars were really nice too. But now, forget it.
I've been looking for a car for my wife and we tested the C class merc, the 325i sportwagon or whatever its called, and the S4 Avant. I think we'll be getting the S4. I know the 3 series sedans and coupes are killer and I've been in BMW's since I was a little little child, but that BMW wagon is just sluggish compared to that S4 Avant. Full time AWD, torsen diff, 250hp, and enough room for my bikes...there's a car. Oh, and I found the GS 300 Sportcross to be very cheaply made (I can't remember if that's what its called, but its the little Lexus wagon).
Now, when I shop for MY car, I'll be beginning at the M3...

im looking to get an S4 too. ive done alot of research and my advice is to wait a bit. they stopped making the current model for a redesign next year. the word on the street is a 300 hp V6 or maybe even V8. and wait even another year and its a good possibility theyre bringing over the RS4 w/ 400 horses. now theres an M3 killer...

Of course you mean the RS4 that was designed by the nice people over in Stuttgart? Well, now that would be a treat. I miss my 928S4... I could have my cake (P-car) and eat it too (carry groceries, bikes and people- all at the same time)!

yes, that RS4. gonna be more than sweet...
theyre introducing a new S6 in 2 or 3 years also. and im sure the avant will come along w/ it. also an S3 w/ 280 hp, although i honestly dont know anything about that car...
Me too, but I honestly wish some high performance car manufacturer would get working on a real 0 emission zippy car. I know Honda's got a new part electric car w/ 400 hp. Can you imagine a 911 w/o gas?!!? That would be fantastic in my book.
That's a nice looking machine. I've really liked Audi's designs of the past few years. However, 18" wheels will just slow it down. They're for looks, primarily.
alliance: Audi? V8? I think Audi is in the W8 bandwagon these days.
As for emission fre vehicles, I'm all for converting my 7 for use with methanol.
Yep, that's the one. I doubt you can pick one up for under 30k. Coupes always cost more, and the base model G35 sedan is around 27k or 28k. Not a bad car, though.
