Jun 28th 2008 11:08PM On gas mileage: if you decide to go upscale and compare the 135i against the 335i, then you get a nice surprise:
135i 6-speed (automatic): 17c/25h (18c/26h)
335i 6-speed (automatic): 17c/26h (17c/26)
The 335i gives you more everything, including slightly improved gas mileage.

When a product (e.g. the iPod/iPhone interface standard) owns well over 80% of the entire market for portable music, it's not bloody unfortunate that a company see that marketshare and react with products the owners *want*. Of course, if you're just being a stupid fanboi, then by all means, whine away.

Jun 17th 2008 12:13AM Sam, you aren't convincing anybody when you just come across as an anti-tax zealot. You can't complain about the job they do and then not fund them because only poor people do that kind of job. You want quality government, pay for it -- within reason.

Jun 16th 2008 7:17PM After the last year of Lamborghini-related entries here at Autoblog, I'm getting the impression that the much lower-priced Lotus is for serious driving and the Lamborghini is for playing dress-up.
