Most of the reason for the big cars to go is just more of the same, going "green". And saving gas. They have to stick around somehow though, and companies like Mercedes and BMW are still making the big 4 door. Obviously they aren't geared for the average car buyer anymore but there still out there. Don't get me wrong I love my Honda, but I still can't imagine everyone in a small 2 door like mine. Haha ;D

Car companies have to make fuel effictient cars due to regulations. There is some certain average of carbon dioxide that that their whole model range/amount of sold cars cannot exceed or something like that. But a big, powerful car doesnt have to be a gas guzzler. Other manufacturers should start to look a little bit how its done in germany. www.autoblog.com/2012/02/24/2012-bmw-m550d-xdrive-first-drive-review/

Never been a fan of BMW's, besides the 745. Pics from yesterday. Getting ready to sand the headlights. I ordered a new pair but I decided to see what I could do anyway. Turned out alright..glad I ordered the new pair.

I hate those type of cars, The vic, and whatever the fuck cedric's is. I can never speed up or tell if its a cop behind me or a person. Plus, having a wall with rearview, i can't see behind me. So i rely on my side mirrors, but those don't help. And then i get pissed when i find out its some old man, and not a cop. BAH. I drove the speed limit exactly, just not to be pulled over. Fuck it.

Unless you compare them to today's market only, like the taurus, then they're pretty big. They're making similar cars for competition here though. Like cadillac's cts-v is basically straight competition for BMW's M3. They're almost identical, but the cost of the cadillac is way less and it's slightly faster. Germany makes some of the best cars no doubt though, I hope they do make more cars similar, well maybe, if they were cheaper. Then they'd be much better quality coming from GM. Some of the car designs during the later 90's and until about 2006 were strange to say the least. Weak, inefficient, junk. Like the bubble taurus from the late 90's, generation 3 to be exact, were probably one of the worst cars to come out of ford. I can't complain now though, because ford and chev seem to be picking up the pace. Now atleast they can compete with dodge on some level. Although, getting rid of the crown vic was a huge mistake. And I know they're gonna feel that one with a sore ass when the cops all buy the new RWD chevy (holden) caprice and dodge charger. BTW, I gotta hand it to the aussies for that caprice. I bet that car is gonna prove to be great.

A Grand Marquis... So wait..you hate Panthers because they look like cop cars? Does it make you nervous in your little honda? Cops use Panthers that have been upgraded with police packages...so don't hate us, hate the cops. I'm not a fan of low rider ricers with loud soda can mufflers and big ass speakers in the back either, but its personal preference.

I meant that other manufacturers should start using similar technology in their cars, whatever size they are. Not many stock V8 gas cars can compare to that in power let alone the ridiculously low fuel consumption.

The only thing that you have right in that whole sentence is the big ass speakers. And they're not in the back neither. They're behind my two front seats. I clearly' dont have a ricer. And i clearly am not the one who made it look like that. I sure as fuck dont drive it like one neither. And im trying to get different rims in trade for it, but no one has any good ones local. Sure the hell am not dropping money on new ones regardless. The tail lights will be VHT Nightshaded darker, so its not as bad. And i clearly do NOT have a fart cannon. The whole exhaust is stock. The only thing that has been done to this even remotley performance wise, is an intake, like kenworthjunkies. So deff don't call my car a ricer. Bet i get better MPG then that thing WITH a wall in my car. Not starting an arguiment, but assuming all honda's are ricers just pisses me off. God damn.

Not many stock V8 gas cars can compare to that in power let alone the ridiculously low fuel consumption. Oh I see what you mean. Yeah you're right though. I really wish they'd make some fast full size sedans again. It's kind of embarassing the only "fast" sedan they're pumping out is the impala SS. Which isn't even that fast in the first place. The bubble body impala SS from the 90's is just as fast and just as expensive to run on fuel. And in my opinion looks alot better. Well, all we can do is wait and see. I hope they produce the caprice again, same as the new cop car but civilian model. Oh and NICE car cedric. Looks nearly brand new. BTW, that's an 01 isn't it?

All anyone does is call my car a mexican ricer, when i have no idea why other then the rims. That i get. But the fart cannon, no. Only reason for a fart cannon is if you have a legit turbo. Yeah i have big ass speakers, 2 18"s. And i love it, lol. The only thing that keeps me sane anymore. I love my car more then anything or anyone else.

I know what you mean about keeping sane ;D I don't have a audio sound system but i do have decent engine sound, last week i took a friend 6 hrs from home to Harrisburg, pa to buy a car. And my favorite part was hitting vtech in the tunnels, it puts such a smile on my face, lol. After we had picked up his car (1989 325is 2.5L I6 BMW) we found it had straight exhaust and had twice the fun blasting the tunnels with both our cars. It was an amazing trip. Here's a pic i took at a gas station just after he bought it, hes going to add drag dr-19s 17inch wheels yet which will improve the look but i love it already. It also has posi rear end and can spin the tires through 3rd, badass car.

I didn't know your car had VTEC, Never actually heard vtec before either. Seens how most people who have honda's around here, aren't vtec. and are garbage. Mines just a D15b8, 8 valve. If i wanted, like i mentioned i could put a 16 valve vtec, but then you know, lol. I wanna get a Non-Vtec sticker, or similar lol. And i bet you guy's did have fun in the tunnels, LOL.

The new impala. Malibu doesn't look much better. They look like jap cars. What a horrendously ugly car.
If anyone ever buys one of these, look no further than this forum. I will log out a big brown and sell it to you for alot cheaper.

I like how they're desperately trying to make it look more attractive on the inside, but the colors and the that weird dash just kill it. The trim package is nice though on it. Oh yeah, and that console shifter I hate. The last gen before this one looked way better. Just my opinion though. And yea kurt, that's exactly what the body style reminds me of too. Plus 4cyl or v6 FWD. What a piece of junk.

The Charger Redline Stage III is a nice looking car but i would have to agree with Craig they need to come out with a coupe version to get the charger in the game with all these super cars to me using a sedan for a muscle car is kinda funny. IMO they should come out with a souped up version of the charger with to days engines and what not and use the old 69 or 70 body style to me that would look pretty dam cool.

It's funny when you're looking at their ass in your shyte mobile you wasted 50k on. Making a charger into a smaller shitty car is a rediculous idea. It's not even a big car in the first place.
