Nope, that would be GM. ;)

Small typo in the last row of the table, "Toyoya" - just bringing it to your attention.

Well damn, I guess I like ugly cars then.

That list is pretty strange - a 6 series uglier than some of those in the 60-80 range, are you kidding me? A 1 series at #11? A 7 series? There was an SC430 in there too which, though it's aging and could use a replacement, is not an ugly car.

I believe around 80% of luxury car buyers lease - don't quote me on that, but it's a very high majority percentage. Removing leasing for this section of the market would be detrimental, these buyers do not want to be paying $1000/mo+ for 6+ years to own their cars.

Lease, pay half that, not have to worry about selling/costly repairs, and get the latest and greatest in 2-3 years. Frankly, it's smart. As long as you can keep within the allotted millage (10-15k per year) and don't mind not customizing your car much, leasing is great.

Speaking personally, the chances of me buying a new car (as opposed to leasing) in the foreseeable future is slim to none. Lease deals on anything from a Civic, to an Accord, to a 3-Series and all the way up the latter are just too good to pass up, in my opinion anyway.

Or maybe people can just learn how to drive in the first place. What the US requires to get a license is downright pathetic (not sure how it is in other countries).

For the same reason people buy an Infiniti over a Nissan or an Acura (before they got ugly) over a Honda - appearance (probably bigger wheels/tries, less plastic) and interior amenities. Maybe a little more soundproofing too.

Also, not all Lexus' are re-badged Toyotas.

The engine isn't everything you know.

I love the Will It Blend series.. lol

Any comments on battery life and speaker volume? Those are two things I feel could be improved from the original iPhone - battery life can be less than a day with a good amount of use and the ringer volumes just aren't loud enough.

Be aware that the first generation Drobo is significantly loud if you're using it intensively or even if it's just running in a warm room. Anything over 76ish degrees (F) I find it gets annoyingly loud.

The transfer speeds were always good enough for me but I'll be upgrading just because it's supposed to be quieter - that's reason enough for me.

I know it's supposed to be a little thicker, but that second shot makes it look significantly thicker.
