The Spectra5 and Sportage are the only Kias that I would not mind being seen in. Kia's midsize SUV (currently forgetting the name) was attractive (looks-wise) in the beginning but it has not aged well.

While the interior needs some work, I still believe this is a viable entry and a great alternative to the normal, run-of-the-mill swoopy economy cars.

Perhaps it has but at least I am able to get a different perspective rather than listening to the same old MSM. There is a reason the Faux News Channel is the highest rated cable news channel in TV, just like there is a reason newspapers across the country are experiencing dreadful drops in readership and circulation. The MSM lost its power in 2004 with the election. I think the faux military documents did it in.

Wait, wasn't that something a few on here were crowing about Toyota doing, having people use premium fuel to get the full HP rating?

How do you think it would factor in? Of course Mercedes should be better than Toyota but it is far from it.

I would hope Caddy and Buick have better ratings than Toyota considering they are luxury brands.

Media sure brainwashed you, didn't it?

Considering that reply, it seems like you don't know that much, either. :AH-HA_wink:

Is the G6's trunk lid dual hinged or does it open like we see in the picture? I haven't found a final answer and that would make all the difference.

No bailouts, no tax breaks, no help from taxpayers. Comments like, "Bush is a f@#king moron," et al, really show a lack of depth on the subject, not to mention immaturity and a lack of credible arguments. Edit: If my tax dollars go to bail out the Big 2 I would be even less inclined to purchase their cars.

I'll post a non-amateur picture of the 4Runner's interior, then. We can agree to disagree. Aside from the new Explorer, the 4Runner's interior is the best in the midsize SUV field.

This is the kind of marketing that GM should be doing constantly. Innovative and it puts possible customers in the driver seat in a no-hassle environment. Where is the Impala SS and Cobalt SS/SC? Buick Lucerene?

Pretty much the Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, NSTINK or Britney Spears. I don't remember NKOTB or the rap phase of the early to mid-90's.

A riced or urbanized CTS?

If I'd get an old IS, I'd take the wagon. Bright blue. Black leather.

I'd take the Subie, though I think the Mazda Protege5 wagons are pretty hot.

Something about the Sky and Solstice hardtops bugs me. I can't put my finger on it, though. The sides look like the BMW roadster (not the current Z4 but past ones) and the rear looks like a Mazda3 wagon.

Want some plood with that? Edit: Thanks for putting words in my mouth, too. Love it.

Kool Aid....Kool Aid....lay off the Kool Aid.

The 4Runner's interior blows the 300's out of the water. If you want to compare apples-to-apples, the Durango's interior does not compare, either. And yes, I've been in all three.

Long-haul flights in economy class are a bitch.

Happy Birthday, Josh. I was able to fit Harry in a box and wrap it for you.

Are you sure they weren't running away from the Firepower!!!!!!!?

"Premium American Motorcars" has that old world feel to it, complete with British accent, lol. I like it.

I think the X5 has aged gracefully. I may be having a brain fart but the only luxury SUV that outclasses the X5, to me, at least, is the RR Sport. Cadillac doesn't compete, Lexus doesn't compete, Benz' M-Class leaves things to be desired, Lincoln doesn't compete, Audi is just coming out with an SUV...
