Replying to: 2turboken (Jan 12, 2008 6:53 pm) Agreed, Inside Line's choices are entertaining cars, price be damned. If I wanted to read about sterile and dull transportation appliances I'd buy a pocket protector, black-framed thick glasses, and a subscription to Consumer Reports...

Replying to: roadburner (Jan 12, 2008 8:05 pm) "If I wanted to read about sterile and dull transportation appliances I'd buy a pocket protector, black-framed thick glasses, and a subscription to Consumer Reports.." Roadrburner's point about Inside Lines pics, price be damned was hitting the nail on the head. However, this does not mean a call for cars that are "sterile and dull transportation appliances"! That wouldn't help anyone or make any sense. Again, it's about balanced information the readers could benefit most from. It's very helpful to hear additional information about both exceptional and entertaining cars that are also affordable (like the "3"), as well as those that set even higher standards regardless of price. No one said that the editors shouldn't make their own choices for their own pics regardless of price. But why not add an additional question for the editors: What would you pick to buy with your own cash or recommend to your enthusiast brother/sister/spouse other?
#12 of 14 Please! by esf Jan 15, 2008 (3:32 pm)
la4mead, please stop now... This list isn't for consumers. It's not meant to help you buy your next Toyota Corolla. It's what they want. Period. And I'm sorry if there are two Audis that most people can't afford on that list, but since when are a Mazda, a Honda and a GMC considered expensive? That's 60% of the list right there. In any event, the R8 should have won even if it was price-restricted. That thing is sensational. '08 BMW X5 4.8i • '06 Audi A3 2.0T DSG • '05 Audi S4 Cabriolet
#13 of 14 it would be cool if they had two lists though: by nippononly Jan 15, 2008 (6:47 pm)
the price-be-darned list and a list with a $35K price ceiling...
#14 of 14 Honda? NO WAY! by dvsutton Jan 23, 2008 (12:15 am)
How can you put the Honda Odyssey on that list? My wifes Honda van has had more problems and trips to the service department than any other vehicle I have owned except my engine failure sludged Toyota Camry. The sliding door fell of its track onto my sons foot. The trans has been rebuilt. Rotors replaced twice. Dash rattles like gumball machine. Stalling and a host of other problems, not to mention sub par dealer service at three different dealerships. I'll never buy another Honda product. I can't believe you would put them on a top ten list. Maybe a bottom ten list of what to AVOID would be Better suited HONDA.
