    What would be that car today? Rolls Wraith?

    Cars We Drive!

    There is a new Cayenne due in 2017, so it would be a good idea to wait if you can make it work with your existing lease. That said, there will likely be some attractive deals when the current model bows out.

    I have never, not once, heard anyone call the GTR "raw". Are you sure the GTR you drove wasn't a POS? I can see and have often heard "isolated", "distant" and "digital", but never "raw", "clanking" or "slamming"... The only guys I knew to have GTRs only used them as DDs... As a "toy", well...

    We used to have a GL350 and it would commonly show 1,000+ km range on the highway... Honestly, I didn't care enough to pay any closer attention, but that's what the dash computer told me. Did something change with the current truck? Smaller tank?

    RE: loaners cars - One thing to remember is that dealerships fulfil their own loaner fleets, so there are a ton of factors that go into their makeup; local market, inventory allocations, model cycles, etc. I remember back in '09 that my local dealer had quite a few 7 series loaners. The...

    An XJ sedan still catches my eye, much moreso that the S / A / 7 alternatives... I feel the XK is getting long in the tooth and Jag is trying too hard to tweek a design that's a little tired. Not feeling the new mid-size sedan. From what I've seen, I do like the F Pace, but it still has...

    The thing most people don't realize is that parts prices are commensurate to the original cost of the car; the brakes on that CL65 aren't priced like they're for a $28k car, but like the $200k car it was when new. Same problem with Bentley GTs, Ferraris, Lambos, etc. A lot of buyers are...

    And most of the cars sold for below estimate, which I think was $24-28mm based on Gooding's numbers, compared to the $22mm achieved. FWIW, several (nicer, lower mileage) Flachbaus have sold for more than the price of the Seinfeld car.

    No, black car. An associate (918 VIP) placed his order yesterday.

    Still doesn't have chairs in the second row. The Infiniti QX80 does, but that is big, ugly brute. How often do you need the third row? We thought it would be a huge pain ********** with the two car seats in the second row, but thankfully I think it's been an issue, one, maybe two times.

    You don't actually prefer those to the silver wheels, do you? Though this makes me think of the one case where I really do prefer black wheel centres - Fuchs on earlier 911s...

    But it doesn't have a manual, so... The Porsche VIP programme was a late addition to the 918 process and used as an incentive to push sales. Anyone that took the plunge has likely done very well for it, but it's not entirely straightforward. There are various hold periods that if met, allow...

    Many of the 918 owners that spec'd special paint are indeed LOL'ing, as their cars are worth well above the original MSRP and the more unique cars in the Liquid paints, or PTS, etc have easily recovered their initial investment in the paint... Just sayin' $60k worth of paint (which is really...

    I feel the Japanese have really lost the plot with the design of the current lineups. Used to be that the designs we clean, albeit conservative. Now, the majority of offerings are downright offensive. The "predator mouth" design throughout the lines of Toyota and Lexus is horrendous. Most...

    Awesome. It's always great when you can find a dealer / service dept that will play ball like that... a win-win for both sides.
