How many miles on the TL? I'm closing in on a new purchase and I'm currently looking at 07/08 TLs or the 09 TSX. I've pretty much decided on Acura at this point.

get the tls with the 6speed manual. Best transmission ever.

Ugh, no. The American version has been terrible so far.

The British one.

agreed. American version is a middle school play off of the british version.

you and me both. there was nothing like them at the time.

After the 6 series went away they came out with the 8 series; pretty cool at the time including the 12 cyl version.

My old truck is on wife number 2. So I treated myself to a new jeep as a wedding present. I was able to justify keeping the truck by stating that it was use to hauling "trash" and everyone needs a good trash truck.

Company:I have driven a Crown Victoria for over 22 years and sadly it will soon be removed from the Ford lineup.

Must be an optical illusion with the top/roof line. From what I can tell the lighting is identical. There may be a small difference in the air damn on the front but other wise the fronts/backs are the same AFAIK.

What's the Lotus going to go for if you don't mind me asking? My brother was hot for one a while back.

Those SLKs are sweet. I'm in love with the mid-engine Porsche experience though and while I lust after a 911, I can't bring myself to give up the mid-engine feel.

It's an 08 Elise SC. Has about 85,000 miles. Black with the gold wheels. I put alot of miles on it as it was my daily driver. I honestly have no idea what it is worth now. I paid just over 62K at the mag dealership in dublin. Mine is one of the first to come with actual power windows. $250 extra got me a cup holder too. :)

Car has absolutely no high end power though and is killing me. The SLK looks to be a nice smooth ride.

2000 Jeep Wrangler. It's perfect for the city. Can park it almost anywhere and still get 4wd.

My 2004 jeep wrangler soft top is for some reason my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. Still runs great and nobody knows its 7 years old.

I almost bought the Bahama jeep that came out last year but am scared to buy Chrysler right now as they may be gone soon.

...give it time.

The british version sucked mightily during it's first season, too. Speaking of them did you catch the holy land episode?

.....utter madness.

The British one was more like a car and driver type program to start but got good.

Aside from the presentation issues in the American one (Adam and Rutledge are annoying, and tanner foust has the personality of a cinder block) we have a problem here in that we have always been shafted on most of the cool and interesting stuff from japan and Europe forever (aside from Germany) and nearly everything American car companies have produced over the last 40 or so years has been total crap.

Mine is a hard top, but I pull it off in the summer. 130000 miles on the original clutch. Runs great and if anything does go wrong, I can usually fix it myself.

Friend of mine has one of the newer ones. It's nice enough, but doesn't really feel like a Jeep.

I'm hoping to hold onto this one until I retire from the military and then get myself a nice pickup once I leave DC.
