The A4 Avant starts at $43k in Canada. For the exact same thing. And our dollar is stronger than the USD. Americans don't know how good they have it.

I suspected that, but my point is that it's not free. You pay for it. With high taxes on both income and cars.

This is turning into a derail. I'll stop now.

The figure I quoted didn't include sales tax, which ranges from 13.5% to 15% on top of the sales price depending on the province.

I swear they're now actively trying to make them as ugly as possible. Even Chris Bangle must think "drat, that's an ugly car". And that's the guy who thought it would be a good idea to screw up the kidney grille on the 3-series.

Hopefully they'll carry over the VAG tradition of having the driver push the lever down to engage reverse. Otherwise I can see things going wrong pretty drat quick.

True, but their vehicle range seems to encompass everything but the kitchen sink.

Coming up next week: MB announces a range of kitchen sinks.

Is it just me or do C-class coupes always seem to have ridiculously small rear wheels? The sedan doesn't have that problem.

Just saw a commercial for the new Scion TC, and its pretty loving hideous.



It looks like they designed a shorter car but then decided at the last minute that it had to be longer. Also what's up with the fake Hoffman kink? I've seen it on at least one other non-BMW car...

You buy a minivan when your life is no longer about you.
