BMW 5-series sedan and BMW 5-series estate taxi in the background...

 
I was having a seizure...gorgeous.  This car is IMHO non-biased opinion the best saloon car of the 20th century. Practical, reliable, built to last etc. The MB W123 series.

That yellow thing!

[BMWDave]

 
Nissan Almera

 
Audi A6 Avant 3.2 Quattro. I don't know but maybe Auto Motor und Sport was testing this car!








 
 
Next to its rival, the S211 E-Class T-Modell

 
New VW Golf GTI. I didn't venture to close to this car because the folks who hang out in this area are the drug crowd...



 
Cool shot of a Porsche 993 through old architecture....


 
Identical VW Golfs: except one is a 2-door, the other a 4-door!



 
Hot Porsche 993 Carrera...

 
Lexus SC430....first one I've seen here in...years!  Want to know what's sad? It was at the Lexus dealer.

[BMWDave]

 
BMW M3 SMG next to our E320. Man, I feel sorry for the M3.

 
I have more but my mom needs the computer so that's it for now.  

[Raza]

993!  My favorite Porsche 911!

And, damn, that Focus coupe is atrocious.

I like Wimmer's pictures, and will be happy to post my european car pictures once I get home and organize them all. I'm off to France, Switzerland, Austria, and Lichtenstein (though it hardly counts) during the next week, so maybe I can get some good pictures of interesting cars.

Cool!  Cars from Europe are always awesome.

I wish I'd had my camera today. Elise, new 5-Series wagon, new 3-Series, red CLS, and a brand-new Jag XK.

you mean the lightweight coupe XK?  The brand, brand new one?

[ifcar]

Brand-new meaning that the owner bought it Friday, not a new design.

Oh.  How did you know the owner bought  it on Friday :mellow:

cool :)  I saw an XK Convertible a week ago, although I dont think it was brand new.  They are among the most beautiful automobiles ever built, IMO.

The coupes are better...saw one yesterday.  And a DB7 on Friday.

The coupes are better.  I agree with that.  Funny, I saw a DB7 about a month ago.  Theyre very rare.

I see them about as often as I see Ferraris here...that is about once or twice a month.  I saw a Vanquish when I was test driving an A8.

Also, in one day, I saw an Azure (with the top down... ), a NEW S281, and a Murcielago.

Yeah...Lamborghinis are really rare around here (I figure they wouldn't be so much after the Gallardo, the car I'd buy instead of a 360, and I see 360s all the bloody time--sunday fucking drivers).  I barely ever see them.  It's only the second I've ever seen on the road, but I did sit in a Diablo VT before.  Awesome!

But, then again, a quick trip to AC and I'll Bentleys and Ferraris and what not till I'm sick of them.  But I don't go to AC with my Passat.  Son of a bitch.

[BMWDave]

I just saw  Gallardo a week ago, and then another one about 2 months ago.  Nice sound! :)

[Raza]

At first I didn't like them, but I'm sick of Ferrari and I don't like the direction they're going in.  I also don't like the VW Gallardo, but I like it better than the 360.

Why?  Its not even RWD.  Whats wrong with the direction of Ferrari?

I know I don't like AWD, but the Gallardo seems to be a better car to me.

Their design direction, I don't like.  I also don't like their emphasis on the F1 transmission.  In 10-15 years (maybe 20) there won't be any manual transmission Ferraris anymore.  They already sell 85% of their cars with an F1 trans, and there's no turning back.  

However, the Gallardo and Murcielago are both TOO civilized.  If I want a luxury sports car to drive everyday, I'd buy an SL600 or 55 AMG, an M6, or an Aston Martin.  Porsche is going to become the real sports car powerhouse in the next decade or two--even if Ferrari stays a fabled name.

Ferrari fully offers manuals....just because they have a lot of rich buyers who dont know how to drive a manual doesnt make them any less sports cars.

Saw an immaculate parked 'Cuda and was behind a Ferrari yesterday.


Are F1 transmissions really that bad?  They're faster for one thing.

[R33 GT-R]

nothing to report lately but the Aston Martin already hashed.

[TurboDan]

Don't get me wrong, I love Aston Martin's..  but they're the one brand that's still keeping alive the old stereotype of disastrous British electronics.   I've seen more Murcielagos on the road around here than Gallardos, but I actually like the Gallardo alot more as far as design goes.  360s are yesterday's news.

As for transmissions, I would actually prefer an F1 for the simple reason that I would be scared shitless of messing up a Ferrari manual transmission and having $40K worth of damage in ten minutes of driving.  :wacko:

Who cares?  They're basically glorified automatics, in my opinion.  And it's not the same thing as a real manual.

Gimme the stick, wooooo hoooo!  I with you on this one Razanator.
