I agree 100% that the Japanese designers really get the small stuff right. The stuff a user of the car experiences day in and day out. That being said, Hyundai is coming on strong, the new Genesis looks to be a huge winner.
But it's hard to beat the attention to interior detail seen on a recent Audi or Volkswagen. ^ |

I haven't been caught in the situation a coworker was in a few years ago, when she was forced to go shopping for clothes at a Super Wal-Mart at 11:00 PM in a small South Carolina town one night after the airline (US :rolleyes:) not only lost her bag, but had no clue where it was. It was weeks before they found it and returned it to her.

I love the Genesis. And yes, Audis and Volkswagens do quite well on the interior. Too bad every Audi owner I've ever known has spent lots of time with the car in the shop dealing with overly complicated and very expensive repair jobs. And the same can be said for many of the Volkswagen owners I've known.
How beautiful is the new Passat CC? |
Night box! Don't let the :rolleyes: bite.

Yes. I offered to do it a few days ago and there were a couple of bites.

Morning, Box. |
In college I had a 1992 Ford Bronco. Since I went to school in the Panhandle and lived there during the summers owning a huge SUV was not a big deal and actually helped when it flooded (any time it rained). I loved the thing and never thought I would get rid of it.
When I moved to Dallas the air conditioner started acting up. My first client was Pier 1, located in downtown Ft. Worth. During the summer months I used to roll down my windows for the 40 mile commute, hoping the whole time that I would not sweat too much. I finally gave in and bought an Altima from Carmax (I'll never shop there again). |
Good morning box.
To get in on the car discussion, I really want a mini-cooper. |
Morning, Box. Just caught up from last night. Was watching ER ;)

I think I might have caught malaria in the jungles of PTY (not really, but I have a mild cold).
I came back from Fiji in February and a few days later developed a horrid cold. I thought I might have had Dengue Fever. When I was leaving Nadi airport there were signs everywhere detailing the symptoms of Dengue and advising that if you developoed any of these symptoms within two weeks of leaving, to go see your Doctor!! I just had a cold!

You have not lived until you are quarantined in your doctors office while she works with the CDC to verify the potential for SARS or Avian Flu. I got cleared after a couple hours of them verifying the various stops on my journey to CAG. It took longer, however, to be cleared for TB. Those tests should be used by the CIA!
Note To Box: telling you doctor that you are coughing up a lil blood after a trip to Europe tends to cause a lil chaos.

I once had to deal with the CDC to find out if someone had monkey herpes.

I'll admit I'm watching the last episode of ER. I used to be a huge fan of the show, and still watched it occassionally in recent years, although I had become rather apathetic about it, and hadn't seen an episode since around late September of last year. But I'm glad to see they brought back the original opening, and credited all of the major characters who have come and gone. Nice flashback to the good old days there. Hoping this turns out to be a really great ending for such an iconic show, even if the show had faded so much in recent years.

I agree with you. This was a great show that really changed TV, arguably for the better.
