Is that the new RL? I really hope it changes, it looks like a disfigured TL. The interior, however, is excellent.— henbmw (View Profile)

That Acura TL is a disaster, that front grille, I hope, is not production.The X6 is still not to my taste.ON page 8, that Ford monstrosity is somewhat comical.The Volvo which thinks it's an Audi with the LED lights, is not an audi, when it comes to gap, check out the door (mis)alignment.That black mat finish on that Lexus IS-F, man, nice, every time I see that car I like it more.— 1evlaudi (View Profile)

At least it seems they got the Tii right this time. If I remember correctly the last one was that crap box 2 door hatch that was the size of a Hyundai Accent, had no power, and came in BMWs oh-so-famous Pearl Green or whatever you wanna call it. Blech!!!I used to laugh at the owners cause it was considered the poor man's BMW, much like the Porsche 928 was the poor man's Porsche. — Whelan (View Profile)

And the original 2002tii you refer to is a classic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_2002tiiIt brought BMW out of near bankruptcy and put them on the map in the US. Sounds to me like thay got it fairly right.— Kinger (View Profile)

Both were ugly. My neighbor has a classic 911 that he auto crosses on weekends at Limerock, him and his buddies get a laugh when they see one of those come around due to its FR layout. And Wikipedia is not the end all of answers, it is made by people like you and me so it does get very biased. I was also referring to the 318ti model, as it was a BMW front end and some 90's Accent from the doors back. Had no appeal to me at least. And in the US we had the 138hp engine, Europe got the 2.5 w/ 170hp. Once again showing that fun things often get skipped over by America.— Whelan (View Profile)

what's funny about a FR layout? ferrari enthusiasts don't laugh at the mid engined ferraris, and the great ferraris are traditionally FR.i love the 911, but loving the 911 is a piss poor excuse for hating the 928.— 1995e34 (View Profile)

The 928 is an awesome car - my mum had one. 5 litre V8, great cruiser, yet at the same time handled amazingly.— Rupert (View Profile)
