Ya call that a car? I could throw that in the trunk of my Grand Caravan and use it as an escape pod!Katana6506 said:
Seriously, where do you pack your gear and a girl in a car like that?
Nice job on your Scion, Paul... It shoulda been an Axis, of course, but I guess the JP will do...

I watched a segment on Scions right after BP bought two if them for our Scion Tours. It said Toyota spend 90% of it's ad budget on grass roots (hosting basketball tournaments at Rucker Park ect...) I don't believe they did print and did limited TV in the beginning. I thougt that it was a cool parallel between the two companies.

Very cool. I think that's very tastefully done, and i don't think a full wrap would be much of an improvement in terms of exposure or impact. You should definitely remove that rear wiper, though.

They haven't sold cars in the US for decades. I hope the ones in the UK and Europe are better than the one my dad had - it was a piece of junk.
Nice graphic Paul. A lot better than those magnetic signs my wife uses for her business IMO

I have a Scion xB and it is pretty great. My company actually just wrapped a Scion with one of our products logos. It looked much less cool than yours. In fact, the difference in good taste and style between ours and yours is about the equivilence to the distance between the earth and the moon.
Bravo! Plus the Scion has tons of gear room, for those of you that have tons of gear.

Renault and Peugeot aren't currently selling any cars in North America, but their new stuff is miles beyond the stuff they were selling hear 20 years ago.
Small cars rock.
Here's my daily driver:
And i can fit a Mesa/Boogie Nomad 55 2x12 in the back, plus two guitars and my GT-6 along with a bag of various other stuff in the passenger seat.
It costs me CAD$20 to fill it, and that will last me about a week. I commute about a 100 km round trip every day. (That's 62 miles.) A tank of diesel will take me over 500 km. (Over 310 miles.)

Jeffrey....I assume you have either an M3 or M5 or possibly an M6 or maybe the new Z4M...?

M3.
I got the last of the E46's (it's a 2006) thankfully. I'm just not feelin' the E90 bodystyle. The end of the classic BMW is upon us.

I'm with you on this one.
The back sorta looks like a face puckering up.
The front and sides look good though.

I don't like the front really. I can't think of a way to describe it other than it looks like BMW is going "Japanese" with their styling. They almost remind me of Lexus or Toyota now.
Not what most people liked BMW for. :\

I'm thinkin' of a new M3 CSL...I love the striped out carbon fibre roof thing...!
Whats the E90? I wasn't aware they had changed the E46 yet? If yours is a 2006 surely that is the latest variant of the M3...?

The E46 is gone. The last of the M3's came in to the local dealer here about 3 months ago. Maybe since you are on that side of the pond you can still get one. I know for a fact North American BMW dealerships can not order any more M3's. The only ones that can be had exist already.
The E46 M3 is done. The E90 M3 will replace it in late 2007/2008 probably. Maybe sooner.

Sorry....your absolutley right....I forgot about the new model simply because, yes it is horrible and the styling has gone pete tong! It's not exactly a head turner. The 1 series is even worse.
I do like the new M5....its awesome and looks good as well!
Haven't seen pics of the new M3 verison of the E90 though yet over here? Rumour has it that its gonna be turbocharged?

There's no actual pictures anywhere of it. A lot of "supposed" spy shots. The turbo is the 335ci which BMW did release official pics of.
I do like the new M5 too. That body style works pretty well as a big sedan. I don't like the ass end of the M6 though. It looks pretty bad.
The new Z4 Coupe looks awesome though, much better than the standard Z4 IMO.

Do you guys get EVO magazine over there? If you do I highly recommend it as its one of the best performance motoring journals in the country!
