I'm in love :)

999, I know those little Japanese minicars, but European minicars are better, especially in safety and performance. Look at the Volkswagen Lupo, Audi A2, Mercedes A-class, MINI COOPER, Renault Clio (I love the sport model, so sweet!), Peugeot 106, Fiat Punto, and so many more. Of course none of those are sold in the US, can you see an American driving a Fiat Punto? That's why I don't think the new MINI COOPER will be doing good in the US.

ATTENTION! The first pics of the new BMW 7 series have been released!! And, OMG!, that thing is nice!! When I first looked at it, I began to drool, but caught the drool in the air right before it hit the keyboard. There's the link -

whats your fascination with new cars?

[Moose or Chuck]

What, do you like old cars? (not classics, stuff like a '91 Camry)

[Warren]

You wanna see what's gonna be my first car? The new (I'll be SOO pissed if BMW decides not to sell this in the US, but I'm almost certain they will, probably later this year) The BMW 325ti Compact! 192hp! I has everything from GPS to supersonic range finders, and ESP (for you people who know Euro cars) to electric seats.  AND IS ONLY $22,000.00 USD!!! Well, take out the "ONLY".

Oh, did I mention 0-60mpg in 7.1 seconds? When I get this thing, I'm gonna sup it up so much, but not too much. You know, exhaust, wheels, brakes, ground effects maybe, and a few other minor things. Oh, it also gets 31 miles per gallon. The 316ti Compact which has 116hp, gets 42mpg. Oh, and Chuck, how are you going to afford a Volvo S60 T5? That's almost $32,000.00. Chuck, here's your first "car" - This is the BMW C1 motorcycle/moped/2-wheel car/thing. It's $5000-$6000, not bad, and is EXTREMELY safe. If I lived in Europe (which I may after college), I'd have to have one of these, they're too funny, and get 98mpg! It's 125cc 15hp, which is fast for this thing, which is 0-30 in about 6 seconds, which is fast enough on this little thing, which is only made for city, top speed is 61mph.

We need an exterminator for this one. Modified 4 times!

[999]

Man, look what you guys did to my thread.<br><br>I hate BMW!<br><br>Every day, I get raced by some business guy who think's he' "Jimmy Speedracer" while on his lunch break.<br><br>There's no glory in smoking a guy in a suit...<br>

First of all, 999, you said "I hate BMW!" You should get a bitch slap across the ass for that. BMW, VW, Audi, and Mercedes are all pretty much the same. Look at the first picture of the 325ti Compact, can you see a hint of Corrado? Yes... And those 4 modifications where to test the [img] thing, because it kept screwing up.

[Moose or Chuck]

Well, if you want to own Batman's car just get a BMW Z7.<br>But BMWs are cool. I like the M5 myself. But right now i'd rather have something like a Benz SLK 230 or Lexus SC 430, maybe Jaguar XK8... ahh, so many choices.

[999]

Warren:<br><br>You've got a great eye, because you're damned skippy I can see the hint of the Corrado in that BMW design. It's got the same body shape, except it has the iconified little BMW rear end slapped on it.<br><br>To me, they're not all the same, although they do indeed use many of the same parts, VW, Porsche, SAAB. That's merely a business move to stay competitive with other markets, aka platform technology.<br><br>I now know of 5 Corrados in the valley here, 2 of which I own, 2 black models, and a Yellow one. That's a tiny dent in the goliath droves of BMWs out there. In short, I hate having what everyone else does (to an extent). <br><br>Out here in glamorous Los Angeles~, a car can say a lot about your personality. So naturally, like the Corrado, I like to think of myself as a person who achieves things in an overly complicated way. <br>

[Moose or Chuck]

Ya, I know what you mean 999. Suddenly I saw 2 other SLK 230's in my small home town. So I'm not too sure I want one anymore.
