Honda announces 6-speed manual for 2010 Acura TL {Autoblog}
Sep 26th 2008 10:06PM That is truly a fugly car. The current TL is nice, and previous generations even nicer. This looks like Bangle on a bad trip and way, way, way overdone. I'll have to see it in person but the camera makes it look like a drunk Maxima and a drunk TL hooked up and this was the surprise 9 months later, and it really likes doughnuts. It's too bad too, it sounds like it has the goods otherwise, and being a Honda will probably be reliable.
iPhone 3G: The Waiting Game: Part II: Redux {Engadget}
Jul 12th 2008 3:46PM I arrived at the Lenox Apple Store in Atlanta at 7:30am and was about #21 in line. At 8:40 they started serving customers with vouchers from getting turned away. At 9:00AM, so long as the voucher line was empty, they started serving those in line this morning. Voucher users were given precedence over those waiting, whatever. Around 10 it was my turn and by 10:30 I was on my way with a 16GB white iPhone.
In the Autoblog Garage: 2008 Honda Accord EX-L V6 {Autoblog}
Oct 29th 2007 1:59PM Looks like an Accord had a few too many drinks and went home with a Saturn and this is the offspring. Bland, meet ugly. Truly the ugliest Accord yet.
T-Mobile's 3G "crawl-out" blamed on government {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 26th 2007 1:54PM I really wish I didn't have a year left on my contract. AT&T has great 3G coverage in Atlanta and T-Mobile is just an also-ran at this point. Sure their rates are a bit cheaper, but then I'm not getting as much as far as data rates, right? It doesn't help that even if 3G were not important to me, TMO's phone selection just completely blows. Except for a couple of high end WM5/6 devices, they offer nothing to the cell phone enthusiast.
No need for debut: 2008 Saab 9-3 pics aplenty {Autoblog}
Jun 8th 2007 7:55PM I think the clamshell hood looks better but the 9-3SS was already a pretty great looking sedan IMO, and the chrome below the grill is way overkill - if I had the Aero I'd look to get rid of the chrome. If they truly fixed some of the interior noise (shake, rattle and roll) issues then that's putting their efforts in the right place. I just sold my 2004 Aero because the ride and rattles just were more than I could stand in a car that was supposed to be somewhat upmarket. I still hope SAAB can make it, but they've got to get serious about competing with the marques with which they are cross-shopped (their own site references the A4 and 335i in the competitive comparison matrix, which tells me someone is guilty of seriously wishful thinking). The G35 is nice but if fuel economy is of any importance to you (both cars require premium, I think) the SAAB will beat it soundly in that aspect.
Cadillac BLS wagon revealed! {Autoblog}
Mar 12th 2007 4:52PM GM might as well just shut down SAAB. SAAB has no chance to sell cars against the Cadillac marketing juggernaut. Wait until the BLS is sold here, directly competing with an already poor selling SAAB brand - UGLY. I'm a 10 year SAAB driver and can't stand what they're doing to the brand.
Spy Shots: 2008 Saab 9-3 shaping up with Aero X cues {Autoblog}
Feb 12th 2007 9:37PM If they'd just fix the atrocious interior quality problems, lack of functional bluetooth, GM parts bin cheapness and go back to using leather that doesn't feel like plastic they might have a decent car on their hands. A new face doesn't fix what's under the covers, and my 2004 Aero has been a significant disappointment on many fronts, and has spent way too much time at the dealer for a car with 35K miles on it. I hope SAAB can recover from the General's ineptitude and overzealous beancounters.
Taser International unveils Taser C2 Personal Protector {Engadget}
Jan 8th 2007 8:50PM This has to be a joke. Mugging/carjacking/etc just got a lot easier for the bad guys.
Engadget HD giveaways: win a Samsung HL-S5679W DLP with LED backlight {Engadget HD}
