My Ride: 535d Sport in Carbon Black / high gloss shadow line and beige leather / dark poplar with professional nav, bluetooth phone prep, CD changer, bi-xenon adaptive headlamps, servotronic steering, folding mirrors, heated comfort seats, TV, extended voice control and Logic 7 hifi.
My weekend car is a modded Audi TT Roadster - currently around 260-270bhp, but awaiting arrival of turbo from MTM in Germany (hopefully next week) for completion of their 345bhp big turbo conversion..... 
Other half drives a VW Golf TDi - company car.... and the car that made me wonder if a diesel might actually be worth contemplating!

Front mounted intercooler
Sports cats
Sports exhaust
Brembo GT brakes
MTM chip
KW suspension
Poly suspension bushes and engine mount
Samco hoses
...and a few other little bits, boost gauge etc.
The big turbo conversion adds new exhaust manifold, hybrid turbo, new waste gate & down pipe, uprated injectors and a paddle clutch... and of course a new remap!
Cheers, Clive

I'm on a three year lease schedule with the current '02 car expiring in April of this year. I'll be looking at the Odyssey, Sienna, and the T&C again (this is our second T&C Limited AWD) but I'm likely to finally get the benefit of the Japanese reliability this time since they've significantly upgraded the offerings from Toyota and Honda. Before, nothing compared -- interior appointment-wise -- to the Chrysler.

[/quote]If I (read SHE) was buying today, it would be the Toyota. No more AWD for Chrysler is my understanding (at least not with the "stow-n-go").
BMW can't make one soon enough.

Can't understand the whole SUV/SAV thing. For us, the minivan is still the only way to go when you have kids and the accompanying accoutrements!
