Wow, some excellent cars posted here.  Congrats on your 'adult' cars guys! The CTS-V and AMG are basically an eyegasm to look at.

/\/\/\ Huh. How does it feel?Stealth Like posted:Yeah, there's a shorter one available that I've already bought and I'm waiting for it to get here, not sure why they decided it needed to be 20 ft long.  Can't you just hear an electric motor buzzing? The front wheels flicking back and forth with little clicking sounds? No? Just me?

And to go with Das Volk, I remember the first car I posted here was my '92 MR2 turbo. Still miss that car sometimes. I'll have been registered here for 10 years in a few months, time sure does go by fast.

davebo posted:Yeah it's pretty crazy how much space cars of the future can have with no ICE. You've got that small trunk in the front, all that space in the back. Just look at this thing: It will be a welcome change from the Roadster which can barely fit a set of golf clubs...

There's no PRDNL display in the dash, but I don't know whether that's mandatory or not. I hope it's a 5-speed considering how slow a 4-speed would be. E: My parents had the same wheels on their 190D

Mercedes puts maximum speed per gear markers on the speedometer (see ./../... dots at 32/52/90mph). Looks like it's a 4 speed, so automatic.

I got a new car Saturday. It's not flashy or old or awesome, but it is economical and it made me realize how much I missed small cars. Went from an XTerra to this.  The pic isn't MY car, but same color/wheels. 2012 Civic EX-L. I was thinking of treating it like the first owner did to a civic I had when I was younger, purple tint (with bubbles) and a speakerbox. But seriously, I am getting the windows tinted and having XM put in and thinking about a small subwoofer to round out the sound.

LTBS posted:2012 Civic EX-L. Nice car, dude. I love the ex-l trim in the civic. I looked at a used accord in that trim but it was entirely too big for me. If you shopped around before buying this car, did you get to hear* about how terrible the 2012 Civics are and how they got a "do not buy" from Consumer Reports? I eventually got a 2011 Fit, but goddamn every other dealership sang that song to me if they heard me say Civic. *from idiot salesmen at non-honda dealerships

As far as I know that was the only way you could get them in North America. I love driving it, it just floats down the road, and it's got ok go when its in boost, but it goes nowhere until 2500rpm when the turbo kicks in.

I shopped around, but not at dealerships I always liked my old Civic and I drove my parents Civic Hybrid a few times. I know they hadn't gotten bad. I just didn't really care for anything else in that price range. I could've gotten a better car, but I've got to worry about fixing up my house instead of worrying about a car that looks nice in a garage that needs fixing.

Nait Sirhc posted:Was this only in older models? I've never seen this in any MB I've driven. (04+) Looks like it, I had to GIS to see if it was in our W210 and it looks like not. I suspect it probably went away once they decided to capitalize on economies of scale by using a common speedo whenever possible, rather than having to swap it out for each engine/transmission/final drive combo.

Unfortunately I got stuck with a standard model with all the options except the performance motor since I don't want leather. Best part is the projected ship date is Dec 2013 Just hoping I survive another year barreling around in the Roadster.

Brought my new car home tonight.  2011 A4 Avant Prestige S-Line Sport package. Loaded to the gills and more technology than an aircraft carrier. I already love it. Just realized I've been here on SA long enough to have posted my last five cars in this thread, but missed the sixth one somewhere in there.

Nice find, unfortunately (or not?) for 2013 they got rid of the regular wagon and "Outbackified" it a bit, if you could call it that, and renamed it the Allroad, without the trick suspension of the original one though.
