We're enthusiasts. Luxury cars are good cars; that's final. Anyone who thinks BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Infiniti, Jaguar, Cadillac, Acura, Volvo or Saab makes a bad car doesn't deserve a place on this website. Acura- A bit like the Japanese equivalent of Audi, Acura is a surprisingly high seller with unappreciated models. The TSX is really very good. Audi- Underestimated "intelligent luxury" brand that's way better than some people (cough-cough-logical-cough) think.

On September 9, the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic will be hosting the "Blue Moon Gala" - an event with a theme that appropriately matches its title - at the Westmoreland Club in Wilkes-Barre.

| | | 2 models of Honda quality | | Posted Monday, August 14, 2006 4:46:00 AM by Blog57 Team | | Americans on trips to Japan and Europe can't help but wonder why dozens of great car models on the streets there aren't sold here. Most explanations are simple: Manufacturers don't have the factory capacity or engines can't be modified for U.S. emissions standards.

| | | Vehicle Depreciation Top Ten Lists Published at Edmunds.com | | Posted Saturday, August 12, 2006 6:46:00 PM by Blog57 Team | | SANTA MONICA, Calif.--Aug. 8, 2006--New "top ten" lists from Edmunds.com, the premier online resource for automotive information, help consumers understand which vehicles hold their values well and which do not.

Residual value percentages are based on the national Edmunds.com True Market Value(R) (TMV(R)) price for a vehicle equipped with typical options, plus destination charge.... | |
