Replying to: hpmctorque (May 09, 2008 6:32 am) My point is that "better choices" are totally dependent on the person doing the buying. Most people drive to work either alone or with one other person in the car. If that is the case why get a car that will almost always be used as a commuter car that has more capacity? Especially if it will get poorer gas mileage? As for me I cannot think of a more perfect car for myself (main car will be the wifes) to go to and from work and run my little errands and go to places like the post. If you can think of a better car let me know. |

Here's my list of cars that make me cringe on sight: BMW X3, X5, Z4, 7-series, 6-series, 1-series Cadillac XR Chevrolet Avalanche, SSR, HHR, Trailblazer Dodge Durango Ford Edge, Taurus/500, Expedition, F-150 Honda Ridgeline, Element, Fit Hummer everything Jaguar X-series, S-series Lexus all SUVs, SC Lincoln's "F-150", Navigator Mercedes-Benz CLS, all SUVs, all roadsters/coupes Mini Cooper all versions Pontiac Aztek, GTO (new one) Toyota Avalon Buggatti Veyron (actually saw one recently --- WAY uglier in person.) Everything from Bentley, Rolls, and Maybach, all disgusting pieces of garbage |

I couldn't drive a yellow VW bug. In fact, I don't even think I could let my mom drive one.

I can kind of understand the appeal of the original H1, although I wouldn't drive one of those, either. I think the H2 and H3 are incredibly tacky, and they're slower, more expensive, have worse visibility, less storage, and lower fuel mileage than the Trailblazer and Tahoe platforms they are based on. If you want a great off-roader, buy a Wrangler. If you want a midsize-to-large GM SUV, much better choices are available at Chevrolet and GMC dealerships. |

Replying to: johnmarco (May 11, 2008 2:35 pm) Just kidding.....How about the Malcolm Bricklin specials? How do you feel about Subarus, the Bricklin and, of course, the unforgettable Yugo? Do you think Chrysler will have any luck with the Chery instead of ol' Mac?
