Nice photo's. I really like the rocks in the background [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
I also don't believe this generates so much conflict. A couple of you guys really like the S6. That's fine by me. I'll drool over something else if you don't mind. And once again, they can't be compared.

I wonder why more car manufacturers don't use turbo's and v8's. Sounds like it would be good because of all the power that is capable so easily. I think it might be expensive though.

Very nice Astons...I'd really drool over this sinister-looking 993 Turbo, though:



Or this 996 Turbo:



Or this E36 M3:

Well, it's supposed to be BMW's entry level car for 2005:

Quote
[hr]While BMW's PR-department was busy with the introduction of the CS1 concept car at the Geneva Motor Show, an early prototype of the production version was being secretly tested in the Arctic region of northern Finland. This test mule, dressed in camouflage, was undergoing shakedown tests at minus 22°F.

But what will the 1-Series really look like?
Based on conversations, reports and rumors, our illustrators put together computer-enhanced illustrations with help from BMW's own CS1 photos.
We wanted to show you what we believe the 1 Series will look like when it reached the dealerships in 2005.
The new 1-series will be available as three-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, newly popular "sport wagon", coupe and roadster. Currently, a four-seat convertible like the CS1 concept isn't on the drawing board (yet).

All models will be powered by longitudinally mounted four-cylinder in-line engines driving the rear wheels - typical BMW but still unique in this class. Entry-level engine will be the 1.6-liter engine with 105 HP, with top of the line expecting the 2-liter high-performance engine pushing 240 HP.
Over 150,000 units of the new 1-series will be built at BMW's Regensburg (Germany) plant the first year, with the base model priced under $16,000. To keep production efficient and variable, the new 1-series will share many major components with the new 3-series, expected to debut in 2005.[hr]

Why would you need that much horsepower in a family sedan?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

i use to love audi and vw cars. now i think their exterior body styling is sooo cheezy. they love to round everything off. i prefer sharp points to contrast as well.

s4 is still a sweet car but don't compare it to a civic
ie. "i'll take that over a civic any day".

uh yeah, i think most of us would if we had the dough, considering its only $30K more not even in the same luxury class.

Supra doesn't have the AWD powah! That's a nice car too but very sports car, while the S4 can retain some other daily drivability.

As for 911's being VW beetle's on steroids, basically it's true. But what's wrong with that ? Porsche 's are excellent cars. [hr]

What came first, the porsche or the beetle? What did ferdinand porsche design first? How much history do you guys know about porsches?

Ya....what's that about? Mexico gets the RS4 and the cool S3 instead of the US? Bleh, I hate US poiticians and their--mostly--stupid regulations.

I have seen the RS4 on the Gumball videos. Absolutely amazing. It's such a sleeper, even I wouldn't expect it. I would debadge it and go around having fun.
