    @FlakJack: I might have hannover from all the cold medicine I took, but I'm pretty sure you can't göttingen any. But I bet those ladies are bremen with lots of Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetzabstimmung in their Bezirksschornsteinfeger, if you know what I mean.

    Is the 2.8 liter engine really a 2.8 liter engine, or is it a 3 liter like all the ones that have been in every US market 2.8 badged BMW since the E90 came out?

    BMWs are for a certain class of people. A really tacky class of people.

    I saw a current 6-series on chrome scrapers that were at least 24 inches in diameter yesterday. At first I thought it was the ultimate tribute to current V8 BMWs' non-existent resale value, but then I noticed that it was really a new BMW M6 riding on wheels that would look silly on a Nissan Armada. Somehow making ugly cars full of electronic toys has put their buyer demographic into ACORN staffer territory.

    The area immediately over the headlights reminds me of Andy Rooney's eyebrows.

    That, and from the 3/4 view, it appears to have a slight underbite.

    High points for me: the transcendent Ferrari 458 and the interior of the Mercedes SLS.

    Low points for me: the EV bandwagoneering and learning that the Audi R8 Spyder comes with a hidden Sally Struthers.

    Bentley Mulsanne and Bugatti Galibier are staying away from each other rather than showing up together at Frankfurt.

    I guess they don't want anyone to know that they're relatives? I think?

    Is there anything left to show? I got online this afternoon and it seemed like every major debut all dropped in a cluster bomb of automotive tom-foolery.

    This brown is like the burnt orange of about 2004: a color that people will ooh and aah over now, that will look horrendously dated in three years and depress resale value.

    @dal20402: I see your point. I've seen brown, yellow, and green come and go too many times to feel as young as I do. I've even seen God-foresaken purple. But these days I see too damned much grey, silver, dark grey, metallic black, and just plain black. Almost anything might be a relief. Mind you I also bought a Habenero Red car in 2007 for exactly this reason, yet the no-color cars still proliferate.

    @CJinSD: First, I read "foreskin purple" and immediately assumed there were some circulation problems in someone's downstairs.

    More to the point, this is why my family has two gloss-(non-metallic)-light-blue cars.

    Hard to get a sense of how big the X1 is, but it sure doesn't look any smaller than the X3. Is it? Or is is the same size as the current X3 with the expectation that the X3 gets bigger in its next iteration or goes away completely?
