This has been the week for upsets as you will soon read below. Most of our readers know the typical story. A car review comes in and BMW is always on top, and then there are the “also ran’s”. So what would you expect to see when the new Infiniti FX was paired up against the new BMW X6?
If you thought more of the same, then you were dead wrong. How about Motor Trend and Automobile magazines BOTH selecting the FX over the X6? Has the status quo been broken? I don’t know about you but I bet the executives over at BMW are scratching their heads on this one.
Remember not too long ago when the number one vehicle in America was the F-150? Then gas started to rise, and it was the Camry. Well gas is still rising, and now it seems America performing an about face and scooping up the Honda Civic in ever increasing numbers.
Actually, so many have been sold, that last month it was actually the number one selling vehicle in the US. I guess in retrospect $4.00 gas was all it takes to swing the consumer into an about face when it concerns car sales. But are they shifting too far the other direction?
The ultra hot Nissan GT-R has defiantly had the collective eye of the press as of late. Why not? World class performance and a reasonable price make it hard to beat. So the contest should be easy when it came time to compare the GT-R against the BMW M3 and the Porsche 911. Well not quite so.
Agent00J couldn’t believe his eyes when he looked at the results and saw the M3 of all things perched in the number one spot. Now was Car and Driver on the payroll or did the simply see something the others have over looked.?
Standing out from the crowd is a big deal for those who are in the know. After all you just dropped a large chunk of change on a new ride, so it would be nice if someone else noticed, right? 0
01 brought you a set very unique conceptual BMW M3’s that would really let you stand out in the crowd if BMW made them available. 001 challenged you to take a look and decide if BMW should take a stance further outside the box, when it comes to colors. We couldn’t agree more.
