That's totally ugly, and this coming from a guy that actually liked Bangle's styling (I still look back fondly at the 1-series, I thought mine was great).

Not sure who this really appeals to, but I say that about many of BMW's products right now.  My dad just got a new 430i Gran Coupe, and I can think of a long list of vehicles I like better that would scratch the same itch.

It looks like an ILX with a twin kidney grill.

That's bang on.

I thought it would look better as a hatchback or wagon....then I googled it and saw the 2-Series Active Tourer, which looks like a Kia Rondo.  Not sure if the Kia designer should be flattered or horrified....

Dealer emailed me today.  Someone is LOOKING for a 2010-2012 Fusion Sport.  How much do I want if I were to sell it?

Huh...

I want Civic Si money.  So $10-13,000 seems fair.  What?  He doesn't want to spend more than $5-6?  Well...I guess I'm keeping it then.  Sorry tooscoops, I won't have enough for that Hellcat down payment after all.

In person I think the 2-series Active Tourer looks fine, it's just not a car that interests me at all.

Took 4 loads of branches from around the neighbourhood to the 4R depot.  All from people who otherwise have no way of transporting branches.

Uhhh....the rock and roll hall of fame isn't reserved to just "rockers".  Rappers, pop, blues, soul, bee-bop, etc have all been inducted.

Did you really not know this?

Are you also mad that Elvis Presley was known as the King of Rock...and never won a Grammy for rock?   :rofl:

It should be renamed the Pop Music Hall of Fame.  The only rock 'n' roll thing Whitney ever did waste herself on drugs.

Then pedants would complain if a "rocker" got inducted.   :rofl: :rofl2:

I guess some would wonder why the R&RHOF has already inducted Sam Cooke, Everly Brothers, The Coasters, Roy Orbison, Bobby Darin, Al Green, Brenda Lee, and OMG....The Bee Gees.  The list goes on and on of people who some wouldn't consider R&R.

Like her or not, Whitney did a lot so I don't see why she shouldn't be nominated.

^Jeeze. I shouldn't be surprised. BMW styling went off the rails with Bangle, and never really recovered.

My lowly Jetta looks classier.

It wasn't all bad.  I'd rock a Z4M Coupe in a heartbeat.




Also my latest car obsession.  :shuffle:

Looks-wise, I liked the Z3 a lot more than the Z4. The Z4's styling is too fussy and cluttered with extraneous lines.

The Z4's performance was a step up for sure though.
