@GUCCI
Thanks for that info. I've never bothered to check it out before. I like such programs a lot and do watch Top Gear quite a bit.
I just switched to that channel now.

No prob  i wish it could be a full time channel though, i see you're also a Beemer fan.

Oh,my bad bro. Personaly im still not so for S60v5, 5800xm is excellent but i would take the more solid and well supported S60v3 FP2, the N79, it gives the best "bang for the buck"-think thats how it goes.

So the Boks win!!!  what a game though, some seriously reckless tackling, saw some being taken by their ankles  , eish thank goodness i never did rugby.

Hopefully, it will be an everyday channel. I really am loving it!
Yes, I'm a BMW fan and would love to own the X5 M. I just think it is going to be steep in price though.
Without a doubt it will be the new benchmark dethroning the Cayenne Turbo.
Do I hear mumbles from the Mercedes fans about their beloved ML 63 AMG? Lol!

Indeed! Im looking forward to its specs,heard its going to be pushing out a massive 400kw in a 4.4L twin turbocharged engine, i gota admit a part of me is disappointed that Beemer now use turbos instead of n/a, but knowing them its going to be one masterpiece. Lol, ML63 AMG, i swear Merc are lazy, they find the largest engine, throw in a huge supercharger then just give every AMG they make the same thing, then BRABUS come in and make things worse, although id love to take a ride in one lol
Oh so the Cayenne Turbo-S is still the king? I can see the X5 M being better until Porsche bring out the next Cayenne Turbo-S

Right on the nail there man!
Merc are just plain lazy! To think that the C63 AMG has the same engine as the ML and still struggles against the outgoing RS4, even the current M3 is a better drive.
Then there's the question of grip and stability on the road, Mercedes are trying too hard to beat BMW and ignoring the basics. Look at Audi, they are taking on BMW head and are actually getting somewhere. That Quattro system of theirs is impressive I must admit. It is just a pity that they haven't quite delivered on the Q7.
I also am with you on the turbocharged 4.4l instead of the normally aspirated one on the X5 M but I guess it's a matter of wait and see.

Yes Audi seem to have cought on quite well, you make a car with its engine as one, unlike Merc who make an engine and a chassis and put them together then hope and pray it will perform lol. Are Audi planning to make a Sport version of the Q7? The problem i see with the Q7 is that long heavy body it looks so clumsy compared to the ML,X5, Tourage and Cayenne
Have you seen the new Audi S4? What a beauty
Of all my dream car is the pocket rocket MINI John Cooper Works, 155kw out of a little 1.6T offcourse built by BMW.

Fantastic win again by the Springboks.Still a bit to close for my liking but the end result is definitely to my liking.Im loving watching these guys play.2 out of 2 and 4 to go.Cant believe how tough this Tri Nations competition is.6 matches in all for each team.So we are World Champions,No 1 in the World and hopefully at the end of this series,Tri-Nation champions.That would be awesome.

Yes, the 2009/2010 Audi Q7 sport is on the way. To be announced towards the end of this year, october/november and released next year. Currently, their 'sport' is the Q7 V12 TDI which does a 0 to 100 in 5 seconds just like the ML 63. A beautiful futuristic looking Q7 that.
Funny you should mention the look of the Q7 as 'clumsy', my brother and I had an argument about its looks and he said it was just fine when I thought it looked funny. Of course him driving an Audi A4 and a VW Toareng (hope I got this right since I confuse it with the SUV, it is the 'family car') and me a Beemer we couldn't agree on the subject.
No, I haven't seen the new S4. One thing about Audi are their fresh and lovely designs, they are mostly sheer beauty.
I saw the Mini 1.6l beat the Hemmi (excuse the spelling) on a track by about 7 seconds. The chrysler hemmi was the sport version pumping about 370kw of power and doing a 0 to 100 in 5.1 seconds while the mini does that in 6.8 sec.
Unfortunately, that has always been the problem with American cars, built for the straight line because of their roads. Improvements have been made but they still lag behind their European counterparts.

thanx for the info EMS, cant wait to see that Sport version Q7 then oh the Touran? Ive totaly become confused by VWs naming of their softroaders. Ye the new Audis are stunning.
Woah! a Mini beat a Hemi? Ya that makes about the handling, the Minis are incredible at cornering and acceleration, my mate killed a S3 at take off with his,but the S3 flew past shortly after  , ya the Americans are all about the Quarter Mile, realy strange since they have that legendary corner in Laguna Seca Raceway, i think its called the Cork Screw, im sure even in an M3 you would be all over the breaks to take that corner. Lol

@ Gucci: You're right about the Cork Screw at Laguna Seca in California. You enter that left-hander at the top of a blind rise, then the whole world seems to drop beneath you as it winds and meanders so steeply downwards. Maddest part of a race track that I've ever seen.Even The Mineshaft at Kyalami looks fairly easy in comparison, LOL.

Didn't know there we so many notable petrolheads on here. As far as I'm concerned, I'll drive anything that's Japanese...you don't often see their cars on the side of the road with bonnets open. Try a Golf2 on a hot summers day;)

Brix, this is VW country, and what you say is true, loads of them seem to overheat at the mere mention of the word 'heat'. How's the taxi biz doing?
