BMW creates yet another new niche market with the 5-series Gran Turismo ...

[cargirl1990]

i think it looks kinda neat. i like a car that sticks out from the crowd. ( excluding the Pontiac Aztek and Buick Rendezous, don't even think of mentioning those two to me!. ) im a hardcore BMW enthusiast SO THERE!
it kinda looks agressive from the front though!

I hate the X6 because you carry around off-road hardware without actually being able to use it.

This has no off-roading pretentions at all.

But if you wanted a wagon...

you would buy one?

Why would you want something in between a wagon and a sedan?

If you're thinking about building a car that size, I think you're just splitting hairs- useless.

I still don't like it for what it is.

Hopefully the front and dash will carry over to the new 5 Series sedan and estate. And that's all I'm going to say.

[Spastik_Roach]

Well you like the R-Class, which is a bit like it.

I'm not saying it's perfect, it isn't. But I find the concept of a spacious grand tourer with decent performance very appealing.

But do you still find it appealing when its ugly as sin and got a ass so fat that a Megane would get jealous?

It's pace and space. I do quite a lot of motorway driving, and I think it'd be brilliant there. Depends on the price though.

Well, you know I drive a BMW 1er...

Indeed. Even being a diesel.

I don't think I'll repeat though.

what do you want next? assuming you will be buying a car on your own next time.

i think that is the car guy's lament, always searching for what car to buy next, never truly satisfied with the current ride.

I'm not satisfied with my current second-(third?)-hand bicycle.
blame me.

I think that's a pretty big problem. When I've driven a car from some months I always start thinking what do I want to drive next, as if I could never be satisfied with the car I drive.

I thought it was just me, but I see that it isn't.

For the next car being able to still drive the Mini I'd want something comfy but with a bit of performance since its main use will be the motorway.

Classic or contemporary?
I am waiting for the first, which my parents assure me will be coming in more than two years, if I'm lucky.

[Ferrer]

Classic or contemporary?

That will depend on the budget.

do you work right now?

[Ferrer]

do you work right now?

Nope I'm finishing university this year then I'll start working, but I'm not in a hurry. I can still use the BMW until at least late 2010. Then we'll see.
