Everyone in my neighborhood has bought QX56's lately. Drove one of those too. WTF? I think the Escalade is nicer.

I am very open to AWD cars that can tow 3k lbs though too....just can't seem to find any.

Infiniti is ugly as shit, but I am having a hard time not picking it as the leader.

The advent of Turbo, Variable Valves and Direct injection are not cheap. Of course that stems across all manufacturers. The problem with the German stuff is all the fucking electronic bullshit they put in. I really wish they'd keep the ECU/Trans PC separate from everything else. Then give me a car with completely mechanical controls and a new powertrain. Of course that means I have to build my own. Same thing happens on snowmobiles now though too...which is why I built my own. And WAY fucking more than I originally thought. A bad wheel bearing, a tensioner pulley and my bill is going to be close to $5k. I'm absolutely not interested in anything AMG ever again. If I am going to suffer with bills like that it'll be in an Aston Martin. Hell the DB9 may be just as cost effective to repair and run as a 5/7 series these days. Not that much worse anyways. Sort of tells you the price of parts and shit on the kraut sleds. All depends on your definition. For a dyke a legacy does all the above. If you can't tell I am a bit soured right now too. Have a complete stereo headunit setup for a Porsche and am too butt clinched to buy one.

Audi just screams issues to me, idk if that is accurate or not but I just remember hearing a lot of bad things. They sure are pretty though, so if anyone can thumbs up or down for them that would be great.New ones scare me, old ones were stellar. I've had 3 A6's and amalgamated put on over 180k miles on them with absolutely no unplanned repairs. (ie, only brakes/tires/fluids etc). If the new ones didn't scare me I'd get an S8 in a heartbeat. Fucking love them.

Subaru does nearly no testing. If it is anything new from them run like help. Trial by customer use is their moto

The build quality and past recalls turn me away from Nissan. I feel they grew too fast expanding their model line too much and quality suffered. That was toyota interesting. Shortest wheelbase car I've owned was by far the best I the snow and ice. 2nd bestvwas a 944

huh? I didn't post anything about an F150...at least not in the past 9 monthsThink he was referring to the Sport Track. If the interior didn't suck I'd like one with boost Any input on the Subaru Legacy 3.6r? It seems like a nice car and it would be ~35k loaded brand new. The interior isn't great but also not awful. Didn't know you were a dyke

Ha, I tried to like the LS460 F Sport and actually would if it made some power. TRD needs to release their supercharger package for it and I'd seriously think about it.

It isn't just performance that wears on the car, but the driver. I beat the piss out of my cars, not in a way that hurts them with stupidity but definitely pushes the limit. Not surprised I tossed front wheel bearings with 295's up there and 80k miles. That being said, what I am now further frightened of is design overshoot and really expensive repair bills due to it. The AMG is littered with those situations and I know the Cayenne is much better in comparison, but the ghosts that can occur are frightening.

Not a fan of anything Nissan anymore. Transmission problems out the ass and considerable drivability issues. While the typical auto trannys are not completely terrible, they are bad enough. Be sure the vehicle you look at does not wear the CVT tranny... Nissan CVTs are total shit. The 3.7 is a fucking solid engine, however. Halfway there. Probably not buying the 3.5 version as boost will get it beyond the 5.0 but with the loss of towing rating I can't have. Definitely no CVT that has 7 speeds that i know of.

Can they hold their booze?Hell, they can hold mine. Sure beats holding it myself.Yardwork and fetching drinks is the best reason to have the little symbiots. Cheaper to hire it out though.... AMusement level is not as high. I've been rolling all night

Really just a head start. Only have 2 hours before I'll crash after they do and mathematically that doesn't work
