Replying to: driver100 (Jan 07, 2009 3:41 pm) Thanks for the article on the ESC. In addition to being a good thing for all drivers, I can see that seniors could especially benefit from it as our reflexes aren't as sharp as they used to be. I was only considering the LS. It has all of the bells. The GS is a step down. The dealer called again today but just couldn't (wouldn't) come down on the black clearcoat. He called another dealer six hours away who has a black one, but that dealer won't budge either. I could get any other color at a very good price. It may be time for me to move on in my thinking. There ARE other makes that come in black. Richard |

Replying to: jmonroe (Jan 07, 2009 12:48 pm) I can only imagine how I would feel when you finished having your way with me.  Perhaps the Hosts would allow me to post the deal incognito. Better yet, why not have some furniture companies give Mrs. Jmonroe a call? I'm sure that they are dealing now as well.  Richard |

Replying to: percussionist (Jan 07, 2009 5:14 pm) it isn't fast, but it only takes one traffic jam to make it work out, timewise. it was pretty interesting seeing some of the areas adjacent to the train tracks. if i was going to buy a car from fitzmall, that what i would do. |

Replying to: richard64 (Jan 07, 2009 5:10 pm) i found 3 black ones searching only a few dealers here in ct. do you want heated seats or not? with the employee pricing plus, the color does not matter. the price is the price.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 07, 2009 4:51 pm) 1) police usually drive Ford Crown Vics or whatever they call them these days. Mainly because Ford builds cars for that market, the others don't need that cheap niche market. Also, not too many cheaper RWD cars around...want RWD because they last longer and are cheaper to repair. Our town is trying out a few Volvos by the way. Police using Crown Vics is not a compliment, I have driven in taxis that are usually CVs, and that is roughing it. i don't think you understand that some of us grew up without all the eletronic helpers and we are have no fear driving a car without them. I do remember, my first cars were a 60 Austin Sprite that burned more oil than gas and a 62 Beatle VW that had some kind of extra gas heater because they didn't really have them. But, driving wasn't as complex back then. Today you need as much protection as possible, because of the other people out there. Have you ever seen those helicopter shots of guys who speed through red lights etc., that didn't happen before. You want airbags all around if you meet one of those guys in an intersection.
