[quote=ocrenter]oh boy, you think Mira Mesa/Black Mountain is bad now… hey, at least the city should make a killing from the red light camera when cars are stuck in the middle of the intersection…[/quote]
I never knew that intersection is/was bad. But they will expand Black Mountain and there will be a DAR on Hillery. So, I assume they’re already anticipating the increase in traffic.

Crazy – that new apt complex in Mira Mesa will be up to 1800+ units.[/quote]
1800+ units isn’t too crazy when you think about the Stone Creek master plan that will come into South Mira Mesa. That master plan will include over 5000 multi-family units. Mira Mesa is going to be much denser than it is today in the next 10 years.

Yep, the comps is around $450k. I’d be very surprised if the closing price is anywhere near the list price. Here’s a good comp that just closed today. http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-120018197-11361_Dennig_Pl_San_Diego_CA_92126%5B/quote%5D

hi AN,

do you have the listing price history of this short sale. Look like the owner tried to sell this since june last year, and it was in pending twice before it sold.
thanks[/quote]
Here’s the history, but no price: http://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/11361-Dennig-Pl-92126/home/4562629.

[quote=flu]I wish Infiniti would really do something with IPL and bring an M challenger. As much as I like the GT-R. It’s in it’s own league…[/quote]
You mean like a 530HP+ V6 TT hand built engine? http://www.0-60mag.com/news/2012/04/next-infiniti-ipl-g-530-hp-gt-r-pricing/

I hope it’ll be priced like the M3/C63 instead of a GT-R. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Looks like you don’t need to wait for Windows 8 if you need a computer now. If you buy a new computer now, you can get Windows 8 upgrade for $15.

[quote=flu]BTW: imho Nissan needs to redesign the G big time…It’s a great car, but the second generation imho didn’t go that far enough from the first generation.. and imho the current exterior design is getting dated… Nissan needs to take it up one notch again with something new.. Hopefully not in the BMW-bangled or Acura-attrocious direction…[/quote]
I totally agree, the 2nd gen G didn’t one up the competition like the original G did. Which is why I didn’t feel the need to upgrade. Back in 2003, when the G came out, the 330i was making 225HP and 214 ft-lb while the G was making 280HP and 270ft-lb. It wipes the 330i in every performance category, which is why it was 2003’s MT car of the year. BMW took back the performance crown with the 335i.

The exterior is 4-5 years old, so yes, they need and they will get updated. The 2nd G sedan looks better than the 1st gen but I still like the 1st gen Coupe better. I’m hoping the G30t will be turbo V-6 and it’ll be lighter than the current G (hopefully it’ll be around 3200-3300lb).

I actually love the BMW-bangled. I like the last gen 3-series more than the newest 3-series, same with the 5-series.

Nissan looks like they might be using a mercedes engine in the next generation G…

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/05/11/next-infiniti-g-to-use-mercedes-sourced-engines/

though it looks like it might be built in the nissan plant in Tennessee

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/10/nissan-agrees-to-make-engines-for-mercedes-in-tennessee/

So basically what we’ll have here is

….. a Mercedes designed engine
….. that will be built in a Nissan factory
….. in the USA by american workers
….. that will find it’s way to both an Infiniti and a Mercedes product…

Wow, my head is spinning… I guess trying to explain the complexity of this to people like paddyoh about ditching Jeff Bridges would be too hard :)[/quote]
Nissan filed for the G22d, G30t, and G35h trademark. AFAIK, Nissan will use the Mercedes 2.2L diesel, but they’ll develop their own V6 and the G35h will be the same system in the M35h. If the trademark covers all of the G model, it seems like the G22d will be competing against the 328. It’ll get much better gas mileage but we’ll see if it can compete with the performance. The G35h will give you both performance and MPG. I’m most interested in seeing what the G30t will be.

Also, the next G will be using the next C-class’s platform as well, not just the engine. Mercedes also claimed their next C-class will get 20% better MPG by losing weight and increasing aerodynamics. The next G was supposed to be out this year, but they had to postpone it due to this deal, since the C-class is on a different cycle and it wont come out until 2014.

Nissan also confirm that they’ll build more of their cars in the US, at least the one that will be sold in the US. This is due to the Yen being too strong. It would be funny if Nissan build more cars in the US for the US market than GM :-D.

Thank you to all of those who thinks owning is out of fashion. Thank you to all of those who bought into the bubble, defaulted, and now have to rent. Thank you to all of those who are getting caught up in the materialistic world and can’t save up enough to down for their own place. Finally, thank you for tightening the lending standard so a lot of the people mentioned above can’t get a mortgage even if they wanted it.

[quote=flu]BMW has one major problem right now…As do most german cars these days….

Weight…

When a f30 328 weighs 3500lbs…that’s right 3500lbs, time to go on a diet big time…And the mighty f30 335 weighs close to 3600 lbs (yikes!)…And even the even the 135 weighs in at 3400lbs…

Man…..BMW needs to go on a major diet…..I use to think 3200lbs was porky…..And that was 10 years ago….[/quote]
Nissan seem to agree with you and me: Linky. 15% weight reduction will mean the G-series will weight around 3100lb. I hope they’re successful and the rest of the market head in that direction as well.

[an]

Their competitor’s weight are around there, so the 328 is no differences than the rest. So, I don’t see weight being as big of an issue as price. For a as tested price of over $50k, that’s more expensive than a fully optioned out IS350, C350, and G37. Those 3 fully optioned out at <$45k. A fully optioned out S4 is $47k. For a base 3 series to be 15% more than the competitor's top of the line, that's pretty ridiculous. If I'm ok with spending 6-8k more, I'd rather get a S4. I also find it interesting that for a car that's rated with the best MPG in the class, it's as test MPG is quite low. No where near the top of the class. Something doesn't sound right. Also, this comparo is comparing cars of last gen's vs the newest 328. Would be interesting to see how the other cars shape up when they too will release the next gen w/in the in 1-2 years.
