I have driven the new Pontiac G8 GT (Holden Commodore with a V-8 Vette motor) here in Austin the other day and I was impressed. GM did a good job and for some reason I liked this car better than the new CTS - more aggressive with excellent performance numbers. I also saw my first Jaguar XK in town and that car was AMAZING in person - looks very sexy!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oFt9q7Ioow This is the color I saw in town - JUST WOW in person! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zHln8IkJOw&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGy7lnp67us&feature=related New C-Class C63 AMG looks very good too but the back seat area is a bit tight for adults imo. This car sounds very cool though and has a strong aggressive stance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYcVA2djGQw&feature=related So what else is hitting the lots soon that catches your eye?
The new C is getting good write ups against the RS4 and the new M3, but they are also saying it is a pretty wild car with tons of raw power off the AMG tuned 6.2L V-8. The look of the new C is a bit aggressive for MB but I do like it.
Saw the new 2 door and 4 door M3 in town yesterday and it looked ok - but at 70k MSRP I say NO THANKS (Skyline GT-R will be $68k to 72k - much better deal). The Jaguar XF Supercharged is at 62k with Nav and fully loaded - BMW pricing is just insane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH1tSYKdg10
Did you hear about the guy in nv that painted his car up like a cop car? He's getting away with it, too. Next thing you know, we'll see someone like this getting out of his cop car.
