Just interested if anyone have preview of future cars...
I know the Volvo S60 is coming out 2001 and the newly design BMW M3 should be coming out anytime now...

Personally I favor in the 2001 Lexus GS430 which should be out this month in some dealers such as Cerritos Auto Square. GS430 has 330 hp and the torque increase to 325@3400. With L-tuned, they can wire 28 more hp. (L-tuned won't be out 'til 2001 March). You spend about $1500 for the chip (I know it's freaking expansive compared w/BMW's chip) for the extra 40 hp. Add an intake and do some tweak, it will have 400+ hp and it cost relatively less than M5. Nice eh? http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/wink.gif

oh man, too many to even list right now. so far my favorite is the audi sport ute/sedan. it is hella rugged looking, has a nice amount of power, and has adjustable shocks that take you from something like 3" to 8" off the ground. it looks like an excellent alternative to buying another suv.

that thing looks like a wanna be subaru...I mean, either way, it looks like a station wagon, the air suspension notwithstanding (already an option on range Rovers, I might add...). I dunno, I think the Outback Sport actually looks better...

GS430 will not have 330 horsepower but 300 instead. A huge disappointment by Toyota.

no way, the audi is way classier than the subaru. just look at it, it looks cool, the subaru just looks like a station wagon.

Nope. that thing has "taurus wagon" written all over it. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
And an M5 can get the D.

in 2001 we'll be seein g a ford focus r type, which will be closer to what they are using in the world rally challenge. automobile magazine liked it and it should be a fun little car, although heavy on the little. i drove the 2 and 4 door versions and i was impressed, the r type should be cool
