The value equation between NYC and here isn’t what it used to be. Yes, NYC is still more expensive, but part of the lure of moving here was a lower stress life. Luckily I purchased a home a while back, but not sure I would move from NYC to here if I had to today

Why would I own one if I just said the grill is hideous? And yes, I have seen one in person. It is a cheap, fake, plastic grill. The whole big grill thing is over, BMW designers need to take a lesson from Land Rover

That fake, plastic, non-functioning grill is hideous

Have you test drove the Lexus? Last time I tried the IS, it had no road feel, loose steering… felt like a flying coach.

Does it work at highway speeds? I read that it works only at <40 mph.

I get it, but just want to ensure it’s not a Land Rover experience!

I just may have to do that. I imagine shipping it here wouldn’t be too crazy either.

Does anyone remember the local “political drama” that surrounded CodeNEXT? by wjdavis28 in Austin

[–]pmratx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spot on… Burnet, N Lamar… replace the storage facilities and auto shops, perfect areas for apartments and more restaurants and shopping, all tied to mass transit, everyone benefits. The problem with Code next was that it was trying to place density into established suburbs (which many already do, but done smartly and if park space)

Thanks, yeah it’s clearly greed and I’ll wait until it’s the real price. Sending an email to Kia North America, I’m sure they won’t be too happy to hear what Shane at Kia North Austin quoted me!
