Overrated - BMW, the interiors are barely if at all better than mazda 3's.

Underrated - Prob Acura. When the the TSX was introduced it clearly had something over all cars in the segment- it still does. Acura just needs to push the concept.

Hah, good picture comparison. There's nothing wrong with a G35 interior. In fact, I recently had a 06TL loaner while my car was at the dealer for service, and I was very unimpressed with the interior fit and finish But that didn't surprise me, really. Can't expect the world out of a $35k car...

Well since everyone is talking about the G35,.............I think the interior isnt very nice. Just the steering wheel and orange guages are enough to make me never want to own one (the new one is looking pretty nice inside though). I was at a G35 meet about a month ago, and some of the owners admitted that the interior was not very good. I received comments on how nice my TSX interior was .

I will throw out VW as being over-rated,.........just because IMO they have always been overpriced for what they are, and the reliability issues in the past have not helped. Im sure I will get attacked for that, but whatever.

The TSX may be underated as far as this board is concerned. (most complain about its power). But is not underated by any means among the automotive press. Its won all but 1 or 2 comparo's its been placed in, gets great reviews and has been on C&D's Top 10 3 years running.

I'm not trying to brag but I have over 10 million dollars in assests. in land, crops,machinery, future contracts, some in cash, property(houses).
Knuckleheads...

Although "some in cash" could mean alot of cash when we're talking 10 mill. If its not enough for a Z4 M than it surely isn't alot of cash.

the thing is I've been sinking a shit load of cash into the farm lately so my cash fund has been running low, I went out bought a brand new Semi and trailer(that was 200 grand), we bought a new Combine in the fall,(that was 300 grand with heads), then dad talking about trading his pickup in that's another 55-60 grand. so yeah my cash fund running low.

Careful or you may just not have anywhere to post your anymore hayseed.

If you had 10 million in assetts you could get a county in Ohio on credit. Shut up or put up hayseed.

Show me some pics or you are done.
