Yeh Subaru has managed to make all their latest cars fugly... ever since the Tribeca, the deevolution began.

Interesting point about Infiniti. I don't know if it's such a great idea for Nissan to bring over their luxury brand especially since their cars aren't exactly luxurious (well not to the same degree as Lexus/Toyota). We'll wait and see how they market their cars but I think they'll need to...

I think if the OP was willing to stretch a little bit, something like the Volkswagen Passat CC which is approx $65k IIRC may be a good combination. As for the poor air circulation, for all we know, the air intake and cooling ducts may be in the grille/nose of the car (or maybe even through the...

Grr BoS lost my post (again) so I'll sum it up. In the $40-60k bracket you can't get both. You're going to be doing a tradeoff with either a luxury car without much performance (i.e. base engined models which are more about badge and look than actual life-saving/leading-edge features) or a...

You can get base model German badges in that price bracket (i.e. below the LCT threshold). I personally would go for new C Class despite my natural inclination towards the e90 or A4). Although on the other hand you could perhaps go for a Japanese luxury car such as the new Liberty (bit ugly...

I'm looking at some photos I took of F6's at my local carwash which were undercover and you're right. They all had the ordinary white background black writing plates with similar letters to what you said. And all had bright colours.

In theory you don't need a fast acceleration car and awesome handling (i.e. Evo's and STI's probably aren't that suitable) but just one which can comfortably cruise at highway speeds in a fuel efficient manner (most V6's and V8's would be suitable for this). On another note did anyone see the...

Bit off topic but OMG Google Chrome 4 (beta) is bloomin' fasT (compared to version 3)!!!!!

They are getting flashier cars though... whilst the ones I saw was a Camry and a Commordore, I've seen plenty of F6's with no police markings! Very nice. The only giveaway other than the guy in uniform inside is the huge screens which resemble large GPS units!

lol not the first time gm have announced saabs winding down. It's become an empty threat.

Keep in mind that even though a lot of reviewers and forum posters (e.g. us) will see things differently, it all comes down to you and which car you find best suits you. If it wasn't for that final personal-judgement-factor, then there would only be a single 'best in class' car everytime and...

Rally car driver as in someone who races in rally competitions, or someone who drives/owns a car which is considered a rally car? Either way, the Swift isn't a bad car but it's quite outdated in terms of safety specs (on the non Sport model) and performance (that, and the whole 'rally...

Maybe it's a flaw in the training? I mean really... which part of can't see traffic, traffic will be coming at high speed, and it's difficult for most cars (even high performance) to get upto the freeway speed quickly enough, do people not understand?! It's not like it's the be all end all if...

The X6 review in episode 7 is crap so far. Halfway through it. iDrive is fine. The gearshift lever whilst looking weird does shift in the correct direction (push for down, pull for up). And I find it somewhat weird that even after reviewing and approving of so many BMWs, why now does Jeremy...

In all honesty I see more police running defect checks than anything else... even on my way home from Seven Hills today I saw a black R32 GTR get pulled over by two undercovers on Old Windsor Rd... the only thing constituting police presence was the sirens stuck on top of the cars doing the...

Congratulations :) No more restrictions for you (well the single passenger one at least)

same. i'm just grateful my back button works and i don't lose my long posts which sometimes happens on other forums!

The only thing I want to add about the new car vs. used car is that; a) New cars have dealer warranties and often include discounted servicing and free roadside assist (i.e. if your car has any issues or breaks down somewhere in Australia, they will come find you and fix it up or give you...

A new one is definitely out of the question I think in terms of a $15k budget. Really high quality interior and very well designed. Drive is great and the engine is preppy which is good for city driving. The car inspires confidence and I think the new model continues the trend of it being a...

In hindsight the pinky finger campaign was relatively successful at getting people talking about it. Sure it seemed stupid and unrelated but everyone I know has at least seen or heard of the campaign and can relate to it in some way (i.e. everyone knows at least one person who drives beyond...
