I'm sure there are car fans on this forum, so let's start a little discussion, shall we? The subject is simple, cars!

I'll start with something slightly "out of the ordinary" as it is BMWs new car. The so-called Vision EfficientDynamics concept, a 356 horsepower, turbo-diesel hybrid that'll do 0-60 in 4.8 seconds and get 75 miles to the gallon. (source)

Personnally I loooooove the design

Awesome design! It somewhat reminds me of the Lamborghini Murcielago.
Superb cars!

I love that the doors look like fly eyes or something?

I love the bmw z4 coupe - that's a not-too-expensive car that I've driven and loved very much. You can rent them from sixt.de in germany for only 99€ per day (and then drive 260kph down the autobahn in them). ;D

Good to know, I'll make sure to do so if I ever go to germany

Yeah yeah those weird foreigners... thinking driving a Z4 coupe is something special *phew*

Hah! A bmw is very special in new zealand. All the fine german cars are. My neighbour he has a trabant and it is as powerful as 5 horses! We can use one to turn over the soil in our fields and make our potatoes grow so much more!

My GF loves the new Audi TT (fine german quality again

)... probably cause it's the only car she knows by name

@dougal2: Nice cars indeed!

@Purespider: Well you see, BMWs don't "rain" in Canada and so they are still special, or at least to most people I know. Also, most audi's are very nice cars but, I must say the R8 is one of my favorites

benn · Post by **benn** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 10:30 am

Yes - an r8 would be an amazing car. Snowboard racks on the roof, caravan hooked up on the back - good times.
