Real Pontiac V8s

But where I disagree is when you used three different engines in THREE DIFFERENT CARS to prove your point.

Finally; I was looking for you to say this yesterday, when you could've saved me the trouble of looking up the damn Bonneville's statistics.

In reality, we both know I'm never going to come up with something similar enough to the 1994-1996 530i to make a comparison without testing because such a vehicle doesn't exist - Audi wasn't around then to kick BMW's ass all around.

Because it was more fun to jerk your chain a little.

Sure they were. They just sucked.

Exactly - they hadn't started kicking BMW's ass. That began in 1996, with the A4, which hasn't stopped kicking BMW's ass since. And of course, the 1998 A6 kicked the 5-series' ass. The A8 and 7-series were on-par for quite some time, though the A8's moved ahead now. You know what? Let's just put it this way: every Audi is cooler than the BMW it competes with. 👍

my 1990 lincoln towncar, 5.0l 150hp with 4 speed auto, give me 27mpg @ 55mph in the highway. combined city and highway it gives me 16mpg, trip computer provides the info.
at 55mph the engines is almost at idle. and it weights like a tank. that engine is pure torque

You'd be exactly right if you weren't so ridiculously wrong.

Your new BMW would be cool if the Kia Optima EX didn't have more standard features.

That might be remotely meaningful if I cared about a Kia full of features.

I hate V8's, there is only one car I really like, and that's the Toyota Prius. Yeah, laugh at me, I'll laugh when you're out of gas on the side of the road

It's meaningful to the Kia owner who paid half and has more. Ooooh.

I'll laugh when you're out of gas on the side of the road

And I'll laugh because you paid $20,000 for a 70bhp economy car.

Except he doesn't and any halfwit can see that. But if he wants to think that the quality of a car comes from how many lines of standard equipment appear on a glossy brochure, he is welcome to live under such a simple minded delusion.

How's the 100 grand truck running, you damn hypocrite? Fend off any wolves lately?

Um, he bought a Kia Optima. His whole life is a simple-minded delusion.

I don't know - we love our Tennesseean luxury sedans, but nobody seems to love the cars that start with "C" - Corvette and Cayenne. Still, the Cayenne is a mixture of brilliant performance and great off-road ability (and when I'm driving, it's off-road about 80% of the time - I'm the only Cayenne owner whose vehicle has seen muddy hills) so we're keeping it - unless you want to make an offer; you're looking for an SUV and I know you love the Cayenne.

I'll give you a wet sandwich for it. Its tuna fish. I found it under my seat. Looks soggy. Mmm.

You keep wet sandwiches in your car? Some BMW owner you are.

You drive your truck offroad?! Some Porsche owner you are.

 

[///M-Spec]

Don't be silly ; food and beverages are verboten in the BMW unless kept in a container. It was in the Defender 90 I keep around so I can mend the barbwire fences on my expansive ranch in Georgia. The pesky bobcats chew through them. The sandwich was left over from last year when I did the Camel Trophy in Laos.

We all know that if that were true, you'd have a Defender 110. Mmm - twenty extra inches of fun.
