Quote, originally posted by AzFusionGT Â»What a cool car...they were on the local news here a while back. If I remember correctly, the base price was about $20,000 or so.

It is in Europe somewhere. But still crazy, that's for sure.

Yeah, I read that too today in the Sun. It is so ridiculous.

MrRich

I am one of the few who likes the big wing on STI's. So this one looks naked to me But I am pretty sure it is a hell of a fun to drive.

MrRich

Congrats on the new car Jeff! So how come we don't see an A3 on the picture instead of the Jetta?

MrRich

Ahh, ok! Sorry went off topic We have a Torrent too, just wanted to know that it was anything major. We love ours so far.

MrRich

Loaded A3 almost 35 grand. So it is still 4-5 grand more than the VW. Don't get me wrong. The A3 is a great car. But the GTI is the same for a lot lesser money. You know Audi own by VW.

MrRich

What is wrong with the Torrent?

MrRich

What are you talking about? Did you have some magic mushrooms? You're saying that the cheapest GTI is 37 grand, and on their website it say it starts from $21,990.Please!!! Give me a break!Just priced out one. Fully loaded $29,929

MrRich

The 4 door model coming in the summer.

MrRich

A3 is a nice car, but waaaay overpriced. Why don't you take a closer look on the new VW GTI. Same technology as the A3 but a LOT cheaper. Just my 2 cents.

MrRich

It is from the movie "I Robot". Here is a full article:http://www.canadiandriver.com/...t.htm

Quote, originally posted by harryyiii Â»The car weighs 2500 lbs (Vibe wights 2700#) and gets only 1-2 mpg more than the Vibe. It is a obese tiny car.Well the Fit is only 2400lbs. And 300lbs is a lot.

Looks great! Did you just put new brakes on the Vibe? Because they look sparkling brand new to me.

MrRich

We don't know how it did get on fire, but it was kind of scarry. Nobody was hurt, so that was the main thing. The firetrucks were there in like 5 minutes, and they killed the fire.
