come to me baby............

Oooops i meant lexus is 350 ;)

I think you guys are nutz. I actually think it looks sweet. Granted i wouldn't probably get it because your probably looking at a 50k car by the looks of it. I just bought a 09 Lexus IS350 because the BMW dealers are unwilling to negotiate very much to what i would consider good deal (335xi) but the lexus dealer was so i got a loaded 09 Lexus IS360

One of the main things i wanted on bluray...that and jurassic park. I probably will wait for the price to come down slightly

Ok guys. I usually see people with some pretty intelligent comments but i have not had one person state a VERY important fact...Nissan's QR (4-cyl) engine is JUNK. I'm sorry but after doing research on every possibility for a car this statement i have pretty much found to be true. Granted i am one of those people that really likes the exterior styling of the altima other than it needs bigger tires. The interior (unless you get the top level trip loaded) has much to be desired. Sure every car manufacturer has its problems but Nissan has had their problems + a lot more. If you look back to how many problems this engine has had in the past i think most of you would shy away. There is the cat problem where the designed the cat too close to the engine and the cat would desinigrate throwing particles back into the engine which would pretty much ruin your engine. Do you realize back in 06 they had to change a lot of peoples engine because of faulty rings they were putting in the QR engine? They people were asked to check their oil ever 700 miles...and some burned over a quart of oil in 700 miles. A lot of people with the cat problem didn't realize it until 70,000 miles or later and ended up with a dead engine. Also if you go to the different forums on net you will see complaints about every car but when you look at the complaints about the nissan compared to everything else. Wow...what a difference. Even hyundai (which i think are GREAT for the price) have low complaints compared to nissan. Now i don't think the VQ engine (V6) has had that many problems and i do agree the performance is very good but the downside is you have to put premium in it.

Anyways on with my post. Like most of you i didn't like the redesign of the accord when i first saw pictures of them. I prefered the coupe over the sedan. Well then i went to look at them. I really stared to actually prefer the look of the sedan over the coupe. So i ended up with a Silver Accord EX-L with the 4cyl 190HP (best in its class) and i absolutly love it and have no regrets at all. I have had many compliments at work too. I didn't get the 6cyl because for a 4cyl the 190HP engine is great. Also coming from a 2003 Ford F-150 FX4 4x4 i wanted GREAT gas mileage. Another guy at work had a 2005 Nissan Frontier 4x4 with the NISMO package (which he had more problems then i had with my ford btw). I was giving him crap about gas one day and over the weekend he ended up getting a new Altima 2.5SL. He even commented that he REALLY liked me car :). I like the exterior or his but my interior is so far beyond the one in his car.

I guess my point is i wouldn't trust the QR engine. Maybe they made dramatic improvements with it starting in 07 and only time will tell...i'm not going to be the test dummy for it though with a broken engine. Also because of resale value on the accord i probably can get out in 2 years and break even.
