Goes on sale in the US this September. VW announced this months ago.

Maybe it's because it is 3.30AM CST and everyone is tired, but the pictures of the blue Twingo clearly show a two-pane, panoramic sunroof.

Sounds like it could be cool. Not to sound picky, but the plural of LEGO is "LEGO" or "LEGO bricks", not "LEGOs".

If you are going to include PAG with Ford, then include Mercedes-Benz with Chrysler. It is an unfair comparison otherwise.

The '07 model was on display at the Chicago Auto Show. Mercedes rep said it goes on sale in April.

I'm extremely bothered by the name "Taurus X". It's just dumb. Why not call it the Taurus Wagon, because that is what it is!

What hope that Ford can do more than rebadge cars does this give? For how many years now has Ford said "we are going to stop rebadging". And they don't! It has been at least a decade..."next time we will diferentiate them more..." blah blah. Now look at Ford. Five years ago, would anyone have ever though that Chrysler would be outselling Ford in the US? Toyota, maybe, but Chrysler?

The BMW 3-Series is not built in the USA. However, Mercedes-Benz has imported C-Class from Brazil, which helps them keep the prices low.

Guys, the European prices are NO INDICIATION of what they would be in the US. Cars are more expensive in Europe, period. A BMW 328xi, that cost $38,000 in the US, is almost $50,000 for a base model in Europe. You can easily chop 20-25% off the European prices to get an idea of the US prices. The European prices also include VAT, a 17-20% tax.

708,000? That is pathetic. At this rate Miami's show will pass it soon. They had 650,000 this year.
