He passed without getting it correct.
They never cut me any slack

hey! so the veloster dash is all very motorcycle like. However I have become accustomed to knowing what gear I'm in and am more used to seeing speed as a digital display. That dash is throwing me off. Would probably get used to it eventually, but right now its not appealing to me.

I suspect though the digital gear display, upon more thinking, will only be on the auto tranny, the 6-speed dual-clutch models
You and me though, we are different, as are our rides, the MGA has analog gauges, the CRX-Si has analog gauges, the VFR has analog gauges, the Frontier has analog gauges. I am more than happy with analog gauges, and that interior appeals to me greatly.

I can very easily live with this!



I also like the center pod...


The traction control off button could have been closer, but I can clearly grasp why they put it over there, I'm sure it's a switch that will rarely get used by the average buyer. I do need more pics though, I keep seeing the top of the line models with the Style Pkg and the Tech Pkg. I would never get the tech package, one of the things in it is proximity key and electronic push start, so I wonder if the round push start is not on the cars that don't get the tech pkg. I'll have to find that out on my test drive...

Audi will let you have the R8 for a day provided you Tweet your heart out

No fair, I don't tweet

That's a way better deal than the 1/2 price drink I got at Red Newt for "checking in" with Facebook.
