    oh yeah that thing is crazy

    mazda is actually working on a design language AND implementing it into all their cars instead of tacking on as much chrome and vents as possible and calling it a day (FORD LOOKING AT YOU)

    I would love to have the Kinetic design language from EuroFord to get over here.

    Could you imagine if this showed up on lots in the US:

    instead of this:

    production ST:

    eurofocusst-(3)_opt.jpg

    what's more is that they're getting a new package that bumps the ST's horsepower to 260 from 222.

    And this year they're getting the RS (300hp + AWD, rally basically).

    Grrr.

    Of the three you've shown, the charger sounds like your best bet.

    The 300c is an old lady car trying it's best to be tough.

    The charger has the looks, and with a few modifications you can make it even louder then it already is.

    If you weren't so against imports I'd have some better europeon/japanese suggestions for you, but it seems like you're set on getting something from america.

    Stale, you should go German. Seriously.

    Get a new Passat with the Hi-Def body kit. It'll have everything you want and it'll look dead sexy.

    Or an Audi A6 or something.

    The 300 is far from an "old lady car".


    That would be a town car, or a park avenue, or a deville. All of which I would drive in a heart beat BTW. Size and comfort are often overlooked by people as having no power or fun potential. I drove a town car for quite a while and I can assure you, it rocked.

    I actually like big comfortable cars. I don't like imports for that very same reason. If just once Toyota, or Honda would make a car that was half as comfortable as it is reliable, I'd buy it in a second.

    But they don't.

    and they won't.

    So I don't buy them. I want to be comfy AND go 120. Thats really not that much to ask.

    I'll be going to the BMW dealership, but I don't expect there to be much wiggle room around my price range.

    If I say $500 to them, they'll point me to a 3-series, which is a tad small really. I'd prefer the 5-series, but the odds of getting one at around 500 is almost laughable.

    I just see them as elephants. A lot of power, but no way to control them.

    They seem too heavy to take a corner well, especially with that kind of power.

    Thats why I like my infiniti. It handles well, and has a nice amount of power.

    And for someone who's 6'5'' it's pretty damn comfortable.

    Man, I gave up riding 8 years ago.

    I can't trust either my center of balance, or my legs.

    So, outside of a trike, which cost a fucking fortune, no more riding.

    You could get a Ural, they all come with sidecars, so it's like cheating.

    mp3_skyblue.jpg

    Or a Piaggio MP3, they have three wheels that rotate independently, and it's much easier to balance, because of the three wheels, you see.

    The Cadillac CTS is basically a SAAB 9-5 and since you don't like imports I wouldn't recommend you get one. The 300C is a solid choice.

    Yeah, totally not a Hemi any more, hell most engines produced today can be considered "Hemis"


    The new Chrysler "Hemi" engines have a more conical shape at the heads, so it would be better off being called a "Coney"
