So today I read a review for the new BMW Z8 Alpina. WOW. Almost 400hp stock, with a 5.0L V8. Normally I dont like imports, but those germans really know how to make a good car. You press a black button to start the engine. The gas milage on this thing is nuts too, lower than our bonnies. I would like to see it up against some of the top of the line domestics, the Z8 has a big engine with lots of torque all strapped to a small and light chassis. The only bad part is the $115k price and the fact that only about 450 are making it across the Atlantic. Since its a beemer, you know that practically dont even need the 50k mile warranty either.

I just saw a commercial for the Lincoln LS they were comparing it to the 5 series. Who does Lincoln think they're fooling? Back when they restyled the Continental they made it look so much like a BMW that everytime I saw a Lincoln I was thinking it was a BMW . Don't get me wrong here I like the look of the LS but when they rip off the style of a car like that and make a commercial, it seems really cheesy!

Maybe US, not Canadian.
