General Car Talk Discussion Thread
Found this posted on RAC's FB page this morning & decided to make a quick inquire. Luckily, they're trying to move it soon, so they seem like they'll be happy to make a deal.

The body kit isn't the nicest thing, but the car has got some power mods to back it up. Mileage kind of worries me, but should have an opportunity to drive it next week.

so this is supposed to be "it"... supposedly straight from marketing people....
but I'm not gonna post it in Corvette thread because it is not "news"... yet....
also they are saying there will be a Stingray version.... (NICE!)

Don't like the taillight design, at all. Looks too cartoon-ish.
Of that I have no doubt. Unfortunately, the aftermarket Corvette body kit market is plagued with stuff even worse than the C7 design shown above.
That's what I was going to say 
I like the rear of that Corvette drawing. Minus the vents next to the taillights, and I wish the quads were a little more seperated.
Anyone hear about the refreshed E63? 577 horsepower, 590lb-ft of torque available

Wow, I hope that's not black plastic on the bottom half...
Last weekend, I was a short road trip with one of my friends in his brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee. Although, not a bad ride, I couldn't get over how bad the navigation system was. It seemed quite slow for being hard drive based, graphics were pretty bad, and it relied too much on the touchscreen.
I am sure I could get used to it with time, but I was expecting more on a 2012 model...

Who like the new G or Q50 whatever
Hyundai rear
Nonsport stering wheel
Not an improved engine. Slower probably with that body

yeah it does depend on situation. at least the way it was explained to me.
I think of leasing like renting an apartment vs. owning property. Similarly, with the horrible resale value of most cars, owning one is not as cracked up as it used to be.

But I am not a 10-year car guy. I work hard and don't piss away money on silly shit so I was thinking why not spend $500/mo on something I like every 30 months.
On another topic, why did that stupid snow day have to fall on the day I had off last week? Thanks to the snow, I initially had to wait til' this Thursday to go look at the Supra. Well, no more worries there; they sold it Saturday.

Asking $33k here:








Maybe. It wouldn't be the first time I've changed my mind after an initial impression.
