But it more boring to drive. My big rub with the Japanese cars is that the leather is not as good as either German or Italian. The climate control is not as good as German, Italian or American. More important for you than for me because you're going to need the defroster and the heater a lot more than I would. Drive it.
Hell, if you're going to do that, drive the Infinity G35. It'll surprise you. The road manners are amazing and the interior has come a long way since the first model came out.

I think they're updating the G35 next year, no?

They both get a small facelift. The coupe a bigger facelift than the sedan.

Alex, click on the 2007 911 Turbo video. For the first time, the Germans got the tiptronic right.

I think I can get an Acura TL at $500 over invoice. Consumer Reports loves it.

Is there a site that tells you when models will be updated? Specifically, I'm looking for information on the TL.

Laguna Seca
So Danica is NOT going to Nascar, but is switching to the Andretti Green team. I think it's a good move.
In other news, while at Laguna Seca last weekend for the Monterey Grand Prix, I must comment that while it is one of the coolest (and newly resurfaced) racetracks, they are as fucked up as it gets when it comes to crowd control. Seriously. It was like they had never had an event there before. It took us 3 hours to get to the parking lot. 3 HOURS!
But look for me on ABC this weekend at the fence between turn 4 and turn 5. Dying of heat exhaustion.
