neener....neener...I told Cadillac a long time ago that the price point for the ELR was wrong....
I think EVRERYBODY told Caddy that same thing. Now, though, saying it with their wallets! They did the same with the XLR, I guess they believe that to have a "halo" car, just price it outrageously. It must be great, look how much it costs!

Saw an M4 in traffic today - the bimmerangs are kind of hidden, which is nice. Still a terrible styling gimmick.
Nissan Leaf.
Not that unusual, but this one had Utah plates. Utah is over 400 miles from here - did they truck it down or take 5 or 6 days to get it here?
A new BMW M4 in front of me this morning. As great a car as it must be, I wonder if driving a car at 5% of its potential would get old.
Not sure I'd call it "old." It can be a little frustrating in a way. But you just gotta make time to get to the track. Otherwise, its wasted capacity.

I wonder if that would be a good car to tow behind a motorhome. Guess it largely depends on how much you have to drive it between stops because running the generator of the motorhome just to charge the Leaf is probably not economical. However, charging it while driving the motorhome might not be so bad (I have no idea if that's even possible).

@qbrozen, I was behind it so didn't notice a tow-bar up front. An irv2.com post says you can't use it as a toad unless it's completely on a trailer. Too bad, probably would make a good toad otherwise and there's plenty of plug-ins at the RV parks.
I'd rather have a cheap gasser, won't have to worry about getting it charged, gas used is nothing compared to the RV!
lol, good point.

Still, $45K equipped the way she wants. The Macan would probably run $70K.

(I did win a buck on the lottery a few weeks back. Apparently I have to go to Tennessee to collect on it though).
I saw my first new BMW 2 Series coupe while driving in the NH Lakes region, The 2-er is much anticipated by us long time Propeller Heads as a reversion to the classic BMW values of compact performance. The black M235i coupe I spotted was very good-looking with none of the stumpy looks of the One Series. It looked a tad larger than the Oner but perhaps a bit smaller than the E46 3Series of 2000-2005. They've just announced that the convertible will be intro-ed at the Geneva Salon this Spring for sale this fall.>
For the first time in almost 2 decades I am contemplating the purchase of a new car.
2001 BMW 330ci/E46, 2008 BMW 335i conv/E93
Saw 2x TLX parked at the Acura dealer, and a plated GEM car in city traffic.
Drove a '13 GL 450 at work and didn't realize that it's as large as it is, parked next to a Tahoe, it's about the same size. Hated the auto tranny shifter, what's so bad about the way 99% of other vehicles have it? Dumb idea in my mind as different isn't always better! Overall, a nice vehicle though size wise, I'd go for the smaller version if I were to own one.

But driving MBs, premium is "required".
I once had a co-worker that leased. He had a 1.8T Jetta that he was paying close to $400 a month for and he used regular gas. He also didn't bother to change the oil (it's a lease) and sludged it up.
I know my RDX has the same basic engine as iirc the accord. Almost identical specs, including the compression ratio. I have used all grades and nit found any noticeable difference.
I suspect whatever they tweaked to take advantage of PUG was added at the top margin, nit dialing back the basic engine output. Whatever it is I don't notice the difference.

Then we get into that whole Top Tier argument and whether it's worth it or just marketing. Sure looks good on paper though.
Spotted a new Caddy SRX - not sure how new. Mostly caught my eye because it was black and looked hot. As in hot, not HOT.

Premium vs. Regular (cartalk.com)
One of my favorite quotes is from Shifty - "premium gas is not a doggie treat for your car" .

Per my E55:
The fintail wants to be picky too:
But it could probably run on kerosene for awhile, before coughing up the FI unit like Doc Brown's DeLorean in 1885.
Two different not connected independent MB mechanics recommended Chevron to me. I figured that can't be a coincidence.

That list? So, my Stang only recommends premium? I'm still not going to run regular ... ever.
