My buddy and I made our annual trek to the Auto Show tonight....Couple random thoughts to share..
1) Jag XK & XF were just stunning...Especially the XK! Would really have to consider leasing one someday
2). What's going to happen to Jeep, Buick, Saab, Saturn and Chrysler?
3). Damn that Audi S5 is a beauty and a beast!! On the short list again when the current lease expires
4). Honda & Toyota have become soooooo boring
5). Damn the Benz CLS and CL's are beautiful
6). Acura TL -- didn't ring the bell for me - kind of odd looking. Comes loaded, but still a lot of $$$ for a Honda
7). I'm still drawn to that darn M3
8). Was very impressed by the styling, fit and finish of some of the new Ford vehicles -- especially the Fusion...A lot of value for the $$
9). Volkswagon pricing is just ridiculous
10). The E60 is still one of the best mixes of lux, sport and snort out there!!

The M3 will always pull you in...just give in and let it take you man....I love my E60, and I LOVE the M3. 4 door. Ugh, I'm stressing over here......

I could not fault someone for getting a Jaguar XF Supercharged. It is a very nice car and I can see why it has been winning many of the recent comparison tests run by the auto mags. But it's just not the one for me.
