    Man this car would be rad! Anyone got the weight of this compared to the GT?

    LED headlights.

    Do they have defrosters on the lenses for winter?

    LED = no heat to melt snow/ice

    Wow. I thought the grille on the Chrysler 300 was large....

    However, a 4.2L TDI in a nice sedan...nice.

    Wait....

    Damnit. For whatever reason US consumers will not buy diesels...you people SUCK.

    And yes, I have a diesel. I'd have a second if I could have found one in the body size/style I was shopping (used).

    1,400 watts...at what, 30% THD?! I always liked the oddball, 'high-tech', post-modern B&O designs, but hoped they'd never stoop to Pyramid amplifier numbers.

    "It puts out 150x4!*"

    *at a distortion level so high, deafness is welcome. Real power is about 5Wx4 @ 0.02% THD, which sucks but hey, whadda want for $99.

    5Wx4, if done properly, is fine for most people with a factory system. Honestly, how loud does talk radio have to be?

    /last line is sarcasm...I listen to both Morning Edition and All Things Considered pretty regularly, and I'm not either conservative or liberal, can merely think for myself. This is when a Billboard Top 100 disc from 1956-2000 is not turning in the player...or some blues.

    That's pretty brave in this segment. But I suppose in the world in which the XJ looks like the way it does, it's not too crazy.

    The details are exquisite, no doubt, but I can't help but think that it's the wrong size for the way it looks. It looks even more like a stretched A4.

    I like how they are all patting each other on the back for their sweet mechanics skillz.

    In principle I like the LEDs integrated into headlights. However, the execution leaves something lacking. This A8 is probably the worst design introduced so far; it almost looks like an aftermarket knockoff. I think the designers were trying too hard too be different, perhaps afraid to repeat the styling from the A6. The best usage of the LED styling to date has to be the S5. I do like the taillights, however, and the overall look of the car.

    TDI will not be in U.S. We keep the 4.2 liter FSI V-8. It does get more hp and torque and better fuel economy though.

    Cool. I'll take one in five years with a VW logo on the snout and TDI power. Thank you VAG... I have a reason to work my ass off now...

    Why, when I clicked on pic #7 (first one I went to), and saw the: "Ah ha ha! Deer on bus! Deer no ride bus — bus ride deer! Ah ha ha!", etc., did I immediately know (without checking prior) that Sam was the one who had written this article?

    I have a bad opinion of BMW owners in general (a dear friend has one now, I love her and would never say ill against her, but that's not going to save the rest of the breed, either), and this isn't doing them any favors.

    In reply to What Happens When You Don’t Change Your Oil For 60,000 Miles
    My longest interval of oil change I did on a BMW 525 after 35.000 miles, mostly driven in over 2 hour drives. It ran on LPG and even after the 35.000 miles the oil was still clean and felt like new, I changed it just because it was way over indicated interval.
    In my opinion oil change intervals depends a lot on what fuel you use and what your driving conditions are.

    I've been pushing it with my new truck. Bought used, I've since put 2,xxx miles on it. Just haven't gotten around to changing it.
