Dude...you drove a Prius C...The regular Prius is like any other compact car. I had no trouble getting my old one up to 80-85 on the freeways and driving with traffic.

Never mind that I grew to hate it and dumped it with a year left on the lease.

Never driven a Prius C, but it makes the regular Prius look like a Jag E Type

Anyone want a steal of a deal on a 2014 (previous gen) Ford Accord Mustang GT Premium? 16k miles for $27,900. Auto, though.



Used 2014 Ford Mustang GT Premium - Inventory Vehicle Details at Al Piemonte's Arlington Heights Ford - Your Arlington Heights, Illinois Ford dealer

I thought about the new Mustangs on my commute this morning. I still don't know why Ford waited until late autumn to release it. I've only seen a couple on the road here and the rest are sitting on dealer lots getting snowed on. I wouldn't buy one from the lot in the spring. I'd definitely order one.

I have 3 friends that have 2014 GT 5.0s Premium pack with auto (msrp 37k) and not one payed more then 31.5k for it new 1.5 years ago. They're nice, but like 30-40% of the people at my school have them.

Our dealers OVERNIGHT got like 30 new bodystyle. Don't know what happened to the old body style.

Yesterday saw a BLOOD RED Jag XFR. It had hood vents. Black wheels, black roof. Man it looked mean and sounded gorgeous.

It's what I did but that's not something people do. They buy and want to enjoy it right away. Especially if it's a somewhat impulse buy.

Agreed

But most of us sports car owners are like you. We are ok with storing. Same as teh new VEtte, they had the higher performance packages released first...


In other news, WHY ARE TLX forum members so uptight about their cars? GEEZUS

I didn't know everyone rags on them. But any question that is asked, they get crazy defensive. Like the thread about fake or real wood..etc

Or being compared to an Accord.

GEEZUS... they act like they are driving an LFA

That is the definition of Fanboys, they can't take criticism and and accept the fact that improvements are only from criticism not blind loyalty.

It is funny because none of them is Honda shareholder and somehow they think they must defend everything against Honda.

TLX owners....people who spent money and thought they were buying an awesome car only to realize people either:

a) dont know what it is

b) dont care what it is because its boring

c) laugh at them and tell them how much fail Acura is

These are the same people who think BMW is nothing but a badge and not worth the additional premium when compare to Acura but refused to buy the cheaper and similar Honda Alternative because it is not an Acura.

I actually really like the 320, fully stripped down, manual transmission sedan.

THere is something fun about that car. Base model, manual trans, RWD.

Lot of TLX owners seem to own MDX. It is funny if you read their posts. They poo poo the Pilot, but in love with their MDX

Jewel lights must be the new drink of choice amongst $40k millionaires.
