"I can't speak for others, but I'm not defending the vehicle or claiming it to be, as you say, "better choice." .I'm defending the people who you insult over and over for choosing something because THEY FIND IT BETTER SUITED TO THEIR NEEDS than you do."
 
I think you're doing a trolling. You don't have any position, you're swinging between different cars. So, give me you're "better choice", that I can recored for future refernces.

The extended warranties in most case not working, it's even CR reported the way dealer makes money. Same about electronics CC or Best buy got huge profits from extended warranties.
So, until 100K most cars don’t have problems in our days, after 100k it's used car. I've always keep car just over 100k, than trade or better sell it.
"May be it needs for Ford TX?!"
I had extended warranty for Explorer; dealer gave away for free, or may be left from previous owner. So for 5 years i never use it.

How long do you think it will take you to put $100K on your Acadia? I guess you won't be in the market for another car until then.
 
Actually, since you had a trouble-free Explorer for 5 years I'd think you'd get another Ford since you've had such good luck from them!

yes I do if Ford will have good model. Before Acadia came up and I had smaller family, I thought to buy Edge. I have test drove for whole day. it's good car. Only one problem needs little more power or better trans. settings. The trans and power ratio one of the biggest problem in domestics cars. They look underpower, compare to made in japan. The best ratio power in the Nissan cars.

Maybe because Nissan is going for power and many of the domestics are trying for better MPG...depends on what you want. Do you need the power for towing, or do you just like the extra zip when you press the gas?

However, the VC is not called "the Hyundai" but rather "the Veracruz" is their name of choice for it. It's like they are afraid to call it by the mfrs name.
 
Very interesting.
 
In fact we're talking about Hyundai in this thread, if you want to hop over and share that tidbit:
 
ateixeira, "Is There Room in the Luxury Market for Hyundai?" #1141, 18 Jan 2008 10:38 am
 
Hyundai wants to make Kia their value brand and move Hyundai upscale, but as good as the cars are, the memory of the name is still a handicap IMHO.
 
It's simply hard to fathom that the company that used to make the Excel and Scoupe make the Veracruz. Night and day.
 
Maybe they should launch a new brand?
 
Bad timing, as we approach a likely recession. Remember right before the last one, Mazda yanked plans for their upscale division, what was it going to be called, Amati IIRC?

I refuse - there is no "better choice" overall. It will vary along with each person's likes and needs.
 
I'm not supporting one car over another here, because to each his own best choice. It's a shame you don't (or refuse to) understand that important fact.

This stops here. The next personal snipe by anyone gets a personal letter from me.

For example it doesn’t have variable effort steering as option.
 
For once you are right...it's not an option. It is standard.
 
At least do a little research before you blast someone's choice.
