thanks rob.

the caddy.... eh. My personal opinion.... I dont like that generation of Eldo's or Sevilles. 86-91 was that style.

on the other hand, the 4.9 is a great motor.

sorry to hear that jim. keep your chin up.

so i went to a gym and actually did physical activity for the first time in...years. it felt good. my muscles arent to soar today either so thats a bonus.

did anyone see the new GTI. im excited because its heavily based off the current car so im hoping ill be able to swap over some of the interesting parts. the steering wheel and seats for example.

I dunno scott i think I prefer the MK5 it looks just too plain. It has some nice features but i think the MK5 looks better

i like the headlights. and the steering wheel and the seats. and it has one of the electronically adjustable suspensions like on the corvette z06 and ferrari 599...so thats pretty cool.

And I think the MKV looks too plain.

MKVI here I come.



Slight drop, BBS CHs, and a slight tint.

i like elements of both. i dont like the rear end of the mk6. the duel exhaust is cool. but from the back it looks like a touerag. but i like the lower part of the front bumper on the mk6...but i like the black shield of the mk5.

I didn't like the rear at first, as I thought the same thing; it looks too similar to the Touareg.

However, it's grown on me. It makes the car look much more svelte from the rear.

Don't get me wrong, I still love the MKV. But I like the MKVI more.

TorchedPerfection86

its not bad its just it looks to plain to me.

The suspension however sounds kick ___!

Ill drive one when Faulkner gets one in. God I hope I dont fall in love with it especially after all the time and money I have recently been putting into my car.

i just opened up the autoblog link, and after quick glance at the pic, first thing that popped into my head was focus hatch with projectors... ugh.

i wonder how aftermarket suspensions are gong to work with the new car

Zillon

Well, if I went aftermarket with the suspension...

I'd yank out the factory shocks and throw a set of Konis on there and pair them with a set of Eibachs.

I wouldn't want to risk damaging a set of those magnetic dampers by running lowering springs on them.

but you would end up probably degrading the performance. if its good enough for a ferrari and corvette i dont think any kind of bolt on set up is going to touch it.

i dont know if thats better or worse then people saying my car looks like a civic
