No manual available of the 350s. I assume it's because they probably wouldn't sell enough to justify the cost, and maybe they don't have one readily available to handle the power and torque of the 350. Would make for a seriously quick car though. Are there any discounts on the IS yet?

I think you need to test a IS 350 against those cars, all of which have much more hp and torque than the IS 250. I've driven both and the 350 is an amazing performer for the price, I remember a recent magazine tested 5.5 0-60.

I just had the problem on my 03 which was also out of warranty. A quick call to Honda America and everything was taken care of, including labor. Some people have paid for labor so ymmv. I think it was because my car was only 2 months out of warranty and I only had 32k on it, plus I mentioned...

Uh, I didn't ask a question. I seriously doubt you are getting any output below 30hz from that little JBL sub. Dual subs, don't know what dual bass means, will just get you more output not extension.

Skyguy, very nice setup but it's kind of odd you only have a single JBL 10 and shakers.

How can the brother be right? He said ALL leather in cars is fake.

It's a mediocre car, I won't miss it when it's gone. Only thing that stands out is the interior. Styling is nice, but on the bland side. It's very small inside. It's underpowered, hp is ok, torque is not. Gas mileage is horrible, I get about 16, it weighs 4000pds. Handling is pretty good...

Betamax, minidisc, spyware cds, memory stick, atrac, bluray, the list goes on and on. Sony wants to do things their way so they can make as much money as possible, meanwhile their consumer electronics are going down the drain. Samsung is kicking their ass. Everyone is reporting that the PS3...

Ebisu is a good Japanese restaurant in Sunset. Koi Palace is good Chinese in Daly City. Both very authentic and fresh.

Cost of labor isn't what's killing American automakers, it's pension and health care. I doubt there is a way out without turning over the pension to the govt.

In general timeshares are way overpriced. If you feel like you really want one, look on Ebay. They usually resell for less than half the original price. Any of the big names, Marriott, Sheraton, Hilton, Hyatt, or Fairfield would be a good choice.

The new generation pdps from Pioneer/NEC and Panasonic are reputed to be much more resistant to burn in.

The whole HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray thing is stupid, brings to mind the initial DVD format wars. They are both expected to come out next year, but the inital cost will be $1000-3000 for a player with little initial content. It'll be a few years before it becomes mainstream.

So did you get the new model that just came out? I have the older one which is great, but I heard the new one is noticeably better. I haven't seen it yet and can't imagine a better picture than mine. Might have to upgrade. If you're going to mainly watch SD and DVD then a Panasonic EDTV pdp...

Simply not true, many people can not tell the difference between a good EDTV and an HDTV pdp at normal viewing distances. With HD programming the HDTV will have a slightly sharper picture. Actually for SD and DVDs a good EDTV pdp will display the picture better than an HDTV pdp. HDTV will...
