    The Infiniti is really nice, Andy.

    The 330i, unless you're 5'3", is way too small. You'll need to go into the 500 series, but then you're talking an astronomical jump in price.

    Might I also suggest the Acura TL, as well

    I love the G35 Coupe, really a sick car that looks great, performs even better, and all for about $33,000. They have a special lease deal at the moment, 3000 down and 319 a month. Not too bad for a car like that. I prefer that over the Nissan 350z.

    330i isn't all that small, but yeah I know what you mean, the cabin is cramped.

    Acura TL is nice and for a good price. I'll tell you though, the Acura RL is one of the sickest cars on the market today. The class-leading sedan has this new Super-Handling All Wheel Drive system that is out of this world. This price is out of this world, too. It will still be a couple years before I'm car buying again, so my interests will probably shift again.


    And Bes: How could I forget you? :touched:

    Andy, I dont know how the general opinion is in the US about French cars or indeed if they sell them there, but how about this, Peugeot 407:

    That 407 is a beautiful machine. Perhaps the lip is overextended.

    They dont sell them in the US, but they do in a few other countries. Peugeot and Citroen are decent manufacturers. Dont know much about them sadly.


    edit: Apply the same first line to the Alfa Romeo.

    I have never seen an Alfa-Romeo or Peugot car or dealer here in the States Zlatan, unfortunately.

    My parents way back when had a Renault, a car I guess they used to sell here before the Japanese car invasion. Haven't seen any French cars here since that one, believe it or not.

    There must be some smaller, un official, dealerships that import the cars, just like there are for American cars here in Europe, such as Acura, Infiniti, etc, brands that arent sold here.

    Well,one myth explained. :)


    second one:

    you know why here in europe you cant buy most of Japanese GT cars like Supra,Skyline and so...?

    Cuz Europeans drive so wild that turbines on such cars can't last loneger than one year.....so in order to take care for their reputation,it was better to make those car unavailible in EU :D (un-official statement taken from Toyota and Nissan)

    That's true. I once read one of those tourist guide books to Europe and it was written by an American. He opened with a warning: "If you're gonna rent a car, beware that the Europeans use their highways as racing tracks"

    :howler:

    Gee thanks :rolleyes:

    BTW, you forgot Infiniti = Nissan



    I know all of that, when I said American cars I actually ment cars that are only sold on the American market, not that they were made by american companies.

    I dunno. I loved driving in Italy myself last year. Largely because they know what they are doing and are entirely purposeful... unlike a number of drivers in America who practically pull over to the leftmost "passing" lane, set the alarm clock for Los Angeles, and ride the jersey wall making sparks the entire way at 50mph with the cruise control on. :rolleyes:
