Wireless charging is cool, but not all phones support it. Also, wireless charging is a $100 option in dodges, jeeps, chryslers

With the way and speed at which cell phone technology is changing these days, it's features like this that will make the car a turnoff when it is obsolete in 5 years.

charliemike

I think Qi will be around for a while.

speedemon90

More and more phones will be supporting it. Heck the Moto 360 (smartwatch) has wireless charging.

Just wait, Tesla will have it too I bet.

Thought this looked pretty cool.

carz0159

Ya, but the Moto 360 isn't out yet :P It's a nice feature, but I also want to see more usb ports that have power to charge. (4 would be nice)

I bought a 1999 Acura 3.2 TL as my commuter car and I really enjoy driving it. I am going through a basic maintenance routine to bring everything up to speed (fluids, torque, etc.) and the car looks to be in very good shape. Thanks for letting me join!

Are your eyes alright? The car in your link is a LaFerrari and the picture above is a McLaren P1.

srika

not sure how that is related, heh. it's ok.

Went to Monterey/Carmel yesterday to look at cars and they closed the 17 mile drive where u saw the Goldrush/fuel run guys from last year. Saw some decent cars this year. I'll post them up when I get home in the other thread.

I used to be an NIASE certified mechanic back in the day. I can do early retirement in less that 3 years and I'm thinking of going back to being a mechanic (plus my retirement pay) or just being a writer.

Wrong green uber-car. I've since fixed the URL to the proper post.



And yes, I need new glasses.

I talked my fiancée out of the Optima. I told her, do you want to finish your masters degree and roll up in a Kia?

So now, she wants either:

1. CLA
2. IS 250
3.CT200H

I told her MB and BMW charge you for every little thing. She doesn't care for Acura since my 2G TL was a money pit, and she hated that car, so I'd like to see her in a Lexus. We'll see.

M235i!!!!!

srika

very cool! would love to see photos. did you just happen to be vacationing out there?

oonowindoo

I assume she is Asian, so naturally White IS250 > CLA > CT

Aman

I'd go for one of the Lexuses. CLA looks great, but is a squeeze getting in and out.

Rick_TL-S

I would personally take the CLA, but for whatever financial reasons that may arise, the IS is a good choice. CT is decent, but it's not a car you should buy for the badge.
It will be designed to support the most popular phones, so it's not really an issue. If it is, there's also the available, more conventional option of plugging it in.
I doubt that a bit considering this isn't an option that makes or breaks a buy, so anyone looking to buy the car 5 years down the line likely won't pass because they can't use this feature.

charliemike

Didn't we just do this thing about the CT200h a week ago with someone else?

No, we make a day trip out of it and end at Cannery Row for dinner

no she's white

srika

oh. I thought you lived in NYC for some reason.

crazyasiantl

iTrader: (7)

No, I'm in Fresno, and our coast house is in the Pismo area. Both are about a 2.5 hour drive to Monterey/Carmel. So we spent the weekend in Pismo, but drove to Monterey for the day.

Next year I'm actually going to pay to get into Pebble Beach and maybe stay in Monterey or Pacific Grove for the weekend. Hopefully money won't be an issue next year at this time

If you guys want to see pics before I upload them, just click the Instagram tab on my profile. They're basically the same pics. It was such a clusterfuck out there this year that the only place to get somewhat decent pics was at Cannery Row. Most of the pics were taken from the car where the dash made too much glare for some of the pics.

I was hoping to see BC's new Gembella GT, but that was at 17 mile drive, which was shut down this year.

srika

lolllllll just realized I was mistaking you for lcrazyaznl.

lol my bad.

I will check instagram

Damn that's clean

00TL-P3.2

My vote goes to the CLA. But, I haven't driven the new IS & not a fan of the CT.
The CLA is a pretty fun car & a lot quicker than I expected it to be. I'm 6'0" & had no problems getting in & out, and had room in the back seat even (a bit of a squeeze in) but knees weren't touching the seat.

M235i wouldn't be bad either.

Edit: Or, with a little wait time, the new C-Class looks nice as well.

RPhilMan1

Looks very nice.

Mr Marco

hahahaha, lots of folks would like to "be a writer." Few will be published.

charliemike

How do you know he's not already published? You're insufferable.

I have no idea why you were allowed back. The mod that allowed it should reconsider.

srika

friend is building this Viper - crazy to see where this car has gone, this is the same one I had a ride in at Gingerman Raceway many years ago, in racing trim.

srika

woops. that's gotta SUCK.

speedemon90

lol that happened with my trunk this morning. My rubber lining was out of place so it was hitting that and not reaching the latch.
