Replying to: akirby (Jul 17, 2007 5:16 am) I think that it will be the 08 Malibu (because it should be a marginally cheaper and higher volume model) that will establish a 'Detroit' benchmark in this class, and it is better for all of us, the autoworkers, and this country in general that both it, the Aura and even the Fusion do well.

Replying to: captain2 (Jul 17, 2007 8:30 am) I could just as easily say the Accord, Camry, Aura and Sonata are not competitive because they don't offer AWD but that would be silly. Why can't we use phrases like "I don't like" or "doesn't meet my needs" instead of "not competitive" or "not as good"? |

Replying to: akirby (Jul 17, 2007 9:28 am) yes, you could, and not be 'silly' at all and probably generate a more meaningful discussion on whether the benefits of AWD are worth what you pay for it at the gas pumps.

Replying to: captain2 (Jul 17, 2007 9:58 am) What's good or not good or competitive or not competitive is an individual, subjective decision based on personal preferences and is only meaningful based on a specific set of requirements. Everything else is just arguing that accomplishes nothing. |

Replying to: akirby (Jul 17, 2007 10:52 am) Yes, but if it comes with equal or better fuel economy why wouldn't you want it?

Replying to: tjc78 (Jul 17, 2007 11:29 am) exactly, but maybe we should add 'sound and feel good doing it'? My wife pulls 25-26 mpg overall out of her 03 Altima 3.5, I pull a bit better than that out of my slightly heavier, bigger, and more powerful 05 Avalon - if we can have our cake, let's enjoy eating it as well! It all boils down to engine efficiencies and sophistication - those cars that have those kind of things are 'competitive' those that don't aren't. And I personally can't understand anybody that somehow wouldn't 'care' or FTM would take less when more is certainly available for about the same (net) costs.
