Anyway, my Miata (a 2001) was not bad on the highway. Revved a bit high, but you did not really hear that. Only unnerving part was when you were next to a truck, and staring at the bottom of the lugnuts.
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
Yeah, the eye level lug nuts would be one of the main reasons to avoid the Interstate in a roadster.
And then the few colors are completely wild, like the light purple Fiesta my friend owns.
Surely there's a middle ground.
Now you live in the Washington DC area, so that must be a rhetorical question -Just Kidding! :shades:
The recent political posturing is something else, isn't it?
2009 BMW 335i, 2003 Corvette cnv. (RIP 2001 Jaguar XK8 cnv and 1985 MB 380SE [the best of the lot])
It's on the right side of CNBC's page.
Amazing the guy pretends to have the solutions just waiting in a bill that the other house of congress wouldn't pass, in his mind, and it's all the fault of the other group. And all this from the Senate that can't pass a budget for 4 years!!!
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Today's newbies - poorly driven GS and a facelift GLK.
Car related, uh, maybe driven over them both, with her new car.

Stopped by the MB dealer - salesman had no idea about any C diesel nor a date for the new S-class. They did have an absolutely loaded white on red C63 that I wouldn't have kicked out of my garage, but 85K is a little rich for my blood.
Oh, and an unplated new Lincoln MKS with the updated front end.
Driving home late last night near Point of Rocks MD there was a new Genesis with LED lights that blasted by me at a pretty nice clip.
As far as the car goes, it looks incredible on the outside, the inside is really cool with a full digital dash and an IP that basically looks like an oversized Ipad. The seats looked way out of place tho, too short on the bottom and not a lot of bolstering. Also, there is no center console, so the the layout reminded me of a 70's car. Back seat was pretty spacious and visibility was pretty good.
From the reports I have read about Tesla not doing so hot financially, it must be pretty risky to try and market your product in a mall, but the foot traffic that was coming in and out of the place the day I was there, I predict not many folks know or even care about Tesla's fortunes. The place was a zoo. :shades:
Telsa is located in the mall because they are trying to get around the dealership laws in MA. They can't sell the cars in MA from that location. It is strictly a showroom experience - you have to order it directly from Tesla in California.

Speaking of new cars, have seen sweetheart lease commercials for G25x and G37 journey/awd and premium - $249 and $299 respectively ($329 for coupe). Blowout time has arrived.
Just a static display, though, and the car was filthy with dust last time I saw it.
Considering it's one of the few that didn't catch on fire during Sandy they should be taking better care of it.
For 2013 the 3.7l is the only engine in there.
Escape in the garage downstairs. I'll try to find out who owns it.
There's a Fisker dealer in my neighborhood - I suspect they drive around a lot just to get attention, as I see a couple of what I think are the same cars frequently.

AWD now, interesting. Probably to prevent customers from leaving for Audi, and for better 0-60 launches, since Americans care so much about those numbers.
Sounds is ... dunno, it's deep but brat-tat-tatty, hard to tune a DI engine for the same sounds the normally aspirated bigger mills from AMGs past.
It does sound like a C63, kind of - somewhat harsh. But harshness is part of the attraction of the smaller car.
There was a 210 E55 4Matic wagon, but not for the USA.
Just kidding it was my typo.
Casaba compares to the M5 and S6 but neither is a direct match.
What do you think? Down the road, would you want an AWD model?
I would. Get the power down, plus launch must be amazing.
M5 is closest - we don't get the RS6 anymore, although I am pretty sure it still exists in Europe.
Although in the US now, MB offers the E63 AMG wagon with the performance/development package, which is pretty hot.
The best deal I've seen lately is a 36 month lease on an Acura TSX wagon for $299/mo... ZERO due at signing...

Bargain.
That TSX would be a steal. Back in 07 when the W203 C-class was being phased out, I remember a ~$269 lease on those - but I don't remember the terms.

VWAG should never have let him go...
He needs to help Hyundai now - if there's a brand out there that needs some design stability, it's that one.
They let him remain based in Frankfurt, so I'm sure that helped lure him.
He penned the New Beetle, which woke up VW, and also worked on the Audi TT, which sort of began Audi's renaissance.
Kia went from snooze to probably the best styled mainstream brand under his watch.
I still want to see a production version of KV7 concept.
The most remarkable part to me is how quickly things turned around. Not that long ago, Kia had arguably the dumpiest lineup on the market.
KV7 would need to be an autonomous car.
Rio used to be a cheap econobox and looks decent now (for what it is), even got DI standard in that price range, which is unheard of.
I want to see the KV7 because the Sienna suffered cost cutting and the Ody is just strange now. The Quest is too bolt upright, and the Grand Caravan dates back to 2008 - the old Chrysler.
If my van were totalled, I wouldn't know what to get!
Was KV7 supposed to be the same size as a big American style van? No appealing choices there indeed. Would probably look most at an Odyssey I guess, Caravan is ancient, Quest is hideous, Sienna is apparently big and cheap.

KV7 seemed half way between a Ford Flex and a minivan, with gullwing doors (concept fantasy, that would never see production) for the cool factor.
