Yeah - checked it out a few times at my dealer - it's a nice car, although I dont think the convertible looks as good as the coupe - the roofline/trunk dont look as good to me....still a nice car though... I like the updates (except maybe the taillights)....the interior looks nice.... I drove one of these a few years ago and they drive great - amazing handling for a heavy SUV....didn't care much for the looks back then...I do like the current GTS model though...

Im a big Audi fan (I have an A5) but this just doesn't do it for me....I will need to see it in person - it's always hard to tell from pics...

A million-billion times better than the current one.....

Toyota is going to stop building/selling 8 models affected by the recent recalls: http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2010/01/toyota-to-stop-selling-building-recalled-models.html

You pull up to the entrance - hop out of your car and are inside the restaurant in 3 steps - how much easier could it get... You are going to pay $20-$30 for dinner/drinks but don't want to pay a few $$ for parking ???

Im not sure - they don't have an obvious parking lot....the valet guys park the cars behind the restaurant....I don't know if they would let me park myself back there...I've never asked...

We have a great time eating there - great food....great drinks....parking is valet, no nightmare at all

I guess I now know what my view will be - I live in the EDGE overlooking that lot....since the beach-club-bar fell through (although the sign is still there) I wondered what would be built there....

Im thinking/hoping the upcoming A7 should fit the bill - it is supposed to be Audi's "4-door coupe" to compete against the CLS....

It kinda looks like a 4-door mustang...

The CLK is replaced by the E-Class coupe.....the CLS is the higher-end "swoopy" 4-door-coupe....

Drove through City Centre for the first time today - very nice area - still some construction going on but overall looked really nice.... Eating at Ra this Friday so I thought I should figure out where it is when there is no traffic and I could drive like a grandpa !! Bailey Banks and Biddle is shutting their doors already....

Somebody actually got video of the crash!! http://www.youtube.c...h?v=fSAQLkHocEs

I was thinking the same thing Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcom8_ArYA8

Low-flying pelican prompts man to drive $2M Bugatti Veyron into La Marque lagoon I dont know whether to laugh or cry !! http://www.khou.com/news/pelican-bugatti-veyron-la-marque-lagoon-69851412.html

7 killed as of current report at Fort Hood... http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/11/05/texas.fort.hood.shootings/index.html

I havent looked at the building close enough when driving by to see if there are windows on the north side or not....there are windows along the south side (which appear to be in the hallways)...overlooking Crave Sushi !! Am I reading the floorplans right - most of the units only have one window in the living area - none in the bedroom - it seems like you would be living in a cave...

Didnt make it to 11 days though: http://www.khou.com/topstories/stories/khou091021_mh_woman-murdered-downtown.23b43a77a.html

I noticed that last night also - there was still a crane/back-hoe/whatever it's called on the site so it must have just been torn down

LOL - that's exactly what I thought when I saw the picture!! Re: Crosstour - that thing is ugly -- is it just the angle of the picture, or is the snout really that big, it looks way out of scale with the rest of the car/truck/suv/coupe..

They are usually based on how many sq feet the unit is - the smaller the condo, the lower the fees

They have been renovating forever....still says opening (or maybe re-opening) soon on the front....

Nice!! It looks kind of Bentley-ish in the back end....interesting treatment on the c-pillar

Im digging the new Buick Lacrosse - I never thought I would ever say that about a Buick !! http://www.leftlanenews.com/buick-lacrosse.html
