I hadn't even seen the LittleBigColossus until just now. That was awessome.
@ Hoffy - woops I guess I should look closer before posting. They engraved the company website in 3 of the slots....
I wonder if this thing was made in Germany... if only there was a way they could engrave the country it was made in at least 6 times on the cover so that everyone could know the superiority of German-made 360 degree security cameras.
I'm not sure I get it (I can't listen to the mp3 at work), but if Carolla is one of the hosts how did he get one of his radio callers to "cough up" who it was?

I mean, couldn't he just say who it was?
This was supposed to be a response to Billy G... weird....
@ CrystaljDesign: coming from a musician I personally think this is a great idea. And I wouldn't exactly call Fender's Squire line "real" instruments. The Fender Standards (their base models) typically start at $349. The Squire series are more or less the starter, or student versions and are of very low quality. For $200 you're getting a real guitar stripped of all the electronics and retro-fitted with a toy guitar's electronics. Imagine how cheap this guitar would be on its own.

On another note, while this does look pretty cool, the fret board seems incredibly thick to me - at least 3 if not 4x thicker than a regular fret board. On a normal guitar the fretboard is only a couple cm thick - probably about as thick as the fretboard is underneath the buttons.
This is a sports sedan, not an SUV. It won't be doing any
soft-roading, let alone off-roading. Stating such is completely
irrelevant. Are you gonna take your A4 quattro, 330xi, G35x off
road?

Adding SH-AWD was the best thing Acura could do for the TL. It now
has the capability to start competing against the aforementioned
cars.

I'm tired of everyone bitching about 4-banger this, RWD that. Why
don't we hear the same about Audi?

Certainly I'm disappointed we won't get SH-AWD and the turbo-4 for
the TSX, but calling it out for producing 200hp and 170ft-lb is
getting tiring. The A4 2.0T puts out 200hp and 200ft-lb and with quattro
weighs 150lbs more than a TSX.

Acura is also supposed to be coming out with a V8 derived from the
V10 in the upcoming NSX replacement.

At most likely 300+ HP with SH-AWD the new TL should be a real
contender this time around.

Aside: The wheels on this car are completely badass.
I thought the new 7's halo lights were supposed to be LEDs...

The back end definitely borrows a lot of its cues from the LS460, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I'm used to seeing BMW being the copied - not the copier.

Either way it's still a very handsome car and much better looking than the current 7.
The dude is Iron Man! Oh wait... that's Tony Stark.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
