Which vehicle would you want to have?

[cityboi 398]

The JAG

British Luxury at its finest

[dpbaker 1]

None of the above. I'm an Audi guy, so I'd go for an A8L, or the new Bugatti.

- totally impractical, but oh would it be fun!!

[monsoon 0]

The S600 is nice but if we are discussing nice cars, this would be it for me.

[RestedTraveler 13]

I'll go with the X5...gotta support my local economy!

[Southernyank 4]

Cadillac 16 anyone? Too bad its still in its concept phase.

[dpbaker 1]

Metro, like the S600. Sorry on the Caddys though; they just aren't attractive designs to me. The Escalade has got to be one of the uuugliest vehicles on the road (save the Pontiac Aztec..... ) I do like older Cadillacs though......

Barvarian Motor Werks. (and I didn't look that up)

And for extra credit Audi was once known as Auto Union

And the Auto Union was formed by 4 companies; Audi, DKW, Horch, and Wanderer, hence, the 4-rings!

[Snowguy716 0]

I'd say more like "Bayerische Motoren Werke"

[DigitalSky 5]

none of the above. i like Lexus

[M. Brown 0]

None of the above. My dream car is the BMW 850 CSI. When I graduate college and move out the house I, mark my words, will get one of these. IMO this is not only the best looking car BMW has ever come up with, but the best looking car in the world. This car was so far ahead of its time and is still ahead of cars today when it comes to technology and build quality. Like the guy said in the link I posted, this is a timeless car. My second favorite car and another car that I will have someday, is a Ferrari Testerossa. An awesome piece of machinery.

Quiz #2

1. What company is Audi owned buy?

2. What is the significance of BMW's famous logo?

[hood 1]

I think Audi is owned by VW?

BMW's symbol represents white propellors turning against a blue sky, they used to build plane engines (nope, didn't look it up )

Yup.

But I bet you got the BMW part from the movie Finding Forester as did I.

[hood 1]

Yeah I just seen it today in school, that's an odd coincident.

[M. Brown 0]

On the TV show Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson said that if you had a Bugatti Veyron have a drag race with a Mclaren F1, You could give the F1 a head start up to a 150mph Veryon starts going and the Veyron would beat the F1 to 200mph. That is just amazing. and VW(the people who own Bugatti) said they had to limit the Veyrons top speed to 252 which means without the limit it would easily do about 270-280.

Yeah I just seen it today in school, that's an odd coincident.

Are you serious? a coincident indeed . Its a good movie anyway.

[cityboi 398]

yup BMW made motorcylce and planes long before they made cars. Im trying to keep my 318ti up. They dont make the BMW 318ti hatchbacks any more and you dont see alot of them on the road. I figure over time the value of it will go up if I continue to keep it up.

They are going to reintrouduce the stationwagons and hatchbacks in 2007 to 2008 I read in Motor Trend and online.

[hood 1]

At 270-280 it would probably fly, I seriously doubt the Veyron could handle like an F1, as the F1 is a Le Mans racer adapted to the road. I like the top speed of the Veyron (and the 1001hp), but my favorite fast car is still an F1 GTR.

Mercedes now has a hatchback.

For some reason hatchbacks for BMW and Mercedes have not had alot of sales. However Saab dominates the European market for hatchbacks.

i voted for the bimmer 750. my dream car though is a ferrari f430. it's gorgeous and the sounds that it makes........oh my, i need to change my pants

[cityboi 398]

I like the 750 Bimmer too. I have noticed that the 750 no longer has that "classic" look that you see with Jaguar or Cadillac. The 750s are looking more sportier. None of BMWs models have a classy look any more. But BMW does has a sports heritage.

1997 BMW 750IL

2006 BMW 750IL

The most common car I saw in Salzburg Austria were Peugot. There was a surprising lack of BMW and Mercedes (although more than in the U.S)... and there are a lot of hatchbacks.

It's so funny. Some of the cars are so tiny. But then again.. if I had to pay $4.50 for a gallon of gas, I'd probably have a very small car too.
