Frankfurt 2009: Volkswagen Golf R20 is our kind of bolt of blue {Autoblog}
Sep 15th 2009 6:24PM What's with all the rage about DSG? :/
Having driven the Audi TTS with both DSG and manual, I'd take the DSG in a heartbeat. It consumes less, I dare anyone to change faster, has a manual mode and generally isn't anything like a "normal" auto from the old days. To me, it just made the driving easier. And faster ;)
Oh, and I drive a manual.
BMW Z4 priced from $46,575 {Autoblog}
Mar 28th 2009 9:43PM I do agree it is a bit on the pricey side, but people will buy it regardless for some like the combination of style, power and the badge and don't care if it's not the best 0-60 per $ car ;) And if one has the finacial means to get one, it doesn't really matter if it was +/- 5k$ :)

Mar 28th 2009 6:47PM BMW...it's only expensive if you can't afford it...

Feb 4th 2009 2:56PM Hmm...the app icons instantly make me think of the iphone, but the battery % and reception indicators make of think of a nokia. Go figure...
Volvo announces 2010 XC60 pricing starting at $37,200 {Autoblog}
Jan 29th 2009 2:43PM Wait, what??!! Does the US average Joe really think 37k$ is a lot for this? :o
BMW announces pricing for 2009 7 Series, raises prices on everything else {Autoblog}
Dec 23rd 2008 11:22PM Imo, it's kind of a moot point to bitch about a price increase on a 7-series...With decent options it's a 90-100k$ car! If you have to worry about the price, you can't afford it. The same pretty much goes for the rest of the line-up, nobody buys a bmw for their great value. Since they're not ;)
2010 BMW Z4 gets caught on set {Autoblog}
Dec 3rd 2008 9:44PM Hmmm...I seem to be in the opposition here for I think the new Z looks pretty nice! This flame surfacing, it seems to be growing on me more and more...and the designs seem to be "maturing".
When the Z4 came out, I thought it was pretty much the 2nd worst looking BMW ever (the honors going to Z3...), but these days I find it absolutely gorgeous. Same-ish with the E60; initially, it looked weird, almost non bmw-ish after the E39 (I still think E39 M5 is one of the best looking cars ever) but now, it's very nice actually.
Current 3 is a mixed bag. The sedan is simply boring and bland compared to the competition and even the coupe screams for the M-package. The M3 was, is, and always will be a beautiful, beautiful car.
/end rant :)

Sep 23rd 2008 2:21PM No jack = Touch HD for me :)
Bummer for the big G, HTC wins anyway ;)
BMW bumps its prices for 2009 {Autoblog}
Aug 23rd 2008 1:36PM Going a little O/T, but I just love to read some Americans thinking bmw's are now too expensive after a mere ~1000$ price hike...
M3 in the US: $57,500
M3 in Finland: $169,635 (or 114,600EUR)
You still think it's expensive huh..? ;)
UPDATE: BMW North America notified of eBay winner's plight {Autoblog}
Mar 26th 2008 9:12PM M3 for 60k$ :((((((
We pay (a lot) more for a VW Golf GTI back here in Finland :|
(ok, part of it goes to the uber-weak USD, but still...)
