    I would take the R but still take the TRD....but my thinking also... Agreed....! More courage than me....! My list...very simple... Both a WRX STI and a Golf R, best used Cayman I can find, Golf All Track wagon, and a pristine used Evo...which has not depreciated much.... If the Evo could not be located, i would take a clean used Lotus of some variation....

    Time for the Nikoli Semi you wrote about....in all seriousness, humans can't seem to stop reproducing, and urban areas will continue to become more sensitive to pollution and air quality issues. Bicycle is also excellent for an urban environment....
  3. A Horse With No Name
    Absolutely! Everything I said in the other thread about GM and Ford deserving an atta boy...lots of impressive product coming out...

    Civil disagreement...could someone provide me with an internet link so I could return to C and G....? In all seriousness, I prefer athletic exterior styling, and this car looks more athletic to me than many of its competitors, and also avoids the styling excess of the cars I mentioned. YMMV. I find the Mazda 6 to be the best looking car in the midsize class, the Impala to be the best looking full size ordinary sedan, and the Jetta to be the best looking compact. This vehicle follows along that styling theme, athletic but not overdone, and I really, really like it. Also, we can disagree again on Kia....the whole build quality of the car seems rather cheap, especially if you sit in or drive one two or three years old. The better interior quality comes across to me as a hail Mary pass because they didn't get the rest of the vehicle right, not as a product I would like to buy. Agree that Buick needs to Continent to bring it....! Current Regal is way past sell by date, and while I like a lot of things GM is doing, letting cars rot on the vine without refresh is GM slipping back into its old ways, the ones that got them into trouble in the first place. Agree completely. Malibu really needs a premium interior option and a V6, but then it would cannibalize Impala sales. But there are those of us who live in urban areas and really prefer a smaller footprint for the car, as it makes it easier to park.

    He is inspiration to me to hit the gym so I can be in shape to ride my bike in the spring...I am still 250 lbs...and 5-10.....

    You are absolutely right about the pace of advancement, which will eventually doom current electric cars and current ICE cars. The one variable to consider here is human behavior...small slow change and a slow adaptation to electric is the best thing, as humans do not deal well with rapid change. And we are looking at this with the completely bass akward paradigm...we (myself included) have raked our domestics over the coals for a decade here about not keeping up, not investing in the latest technology, not showing a sense of fight and desire for market share. Our domestics are now doing the best they have done in terms of building competitive product (both ICE and electric) at any time since the Beatles still sang together and we were still trying to put a man on the moon.... ...and yet all I seem to hear on this site is complaining. Dammit man...I love foreign cars also...how ironic is it that the guy here who has more passion for foreign cars is the one who has more pride in our domestics right now than many of our domestic guys? Could we please give both Ford and GM one hell of an atta boy for getting things really really right? I say this not so much directly to Hyper, but to the whole board....

    I just bought a nice set of router bits for making cabinet doors, going to buy a Festool router myself next.... http://www.shopfestool.com/festool-of-1010-eq-router-574339/?gclid=Cj0KEQiApqTCBRC-977Hi9Ov8pkBEiQA5B_ipVH5VFsXF5600pvG6V-iztdse4PgyT9Tr68v-lIoHGEaAm0Y8P8HAQ It isn't cheap but damn does it perform.... And a Merry Christmas three weeks early to our friends in the great white north...!

    ...and for anyone who hasn't driven the latest Prius, Toyota did a fantastic job on it. Both of those would be nice choices. I really like the Sierra idea...
  9. A Horse With No Name
    Even with the First generation of Prius, I know of several people driving them with zero issues. Woman I work with just Replaced a 98 Lincoln with a Prius, Going from 14 Miles per gallon to 48 has made her very happy. ironic that you would mention Issues with your CRV, her husband has an aging CRV and they are thinking about replacing that with a Prius also.

    Happy birthday dude!
  11. A Horse With No Name
    Prius is a wonderful product, would consider that before I would consider any other Hybrid other than Volt.

    Which is why one tries to avoid lower level Asian cars. As I have said before, my father's Toyota Highlander has not aged nearly as well as my Mini. An electric with fewer moving parts will have better than an ICE car as the technology progresses. But right now, Subaru, Lexus, Acura would be the only Asian cars I would consider... would consider GM...

    At least they were kind enough to highlight the problem in blue and circle it with an oval on the front of the car when it left the factory.
  14. A Horse With No Name
    Awesome, doing rather well myself.
  15. A Horse With No Name
    I have no problem with the design per se, but when the main car they are relying on is a copy of a half century old design, and they go half way on the power train, that to me really shows they don't care much. Show me that you care and then maybe I will be willing to drop coin on product....
  16. A Horse With No Name
    Ohhh absolutely.... Although I find the idea of a diety presented at the end of the video dated and irrelevant....
  17. A Horse With No Name
    Me either.... ...and can't get there fast enough IMHO. They are copying a design from 1970 for crying out loud...I was 5 years old in 1970....now several people I went to high school with are grand parents...when you rely on a design from half a century ago, your brand is dead....

    That's the nice thing about technology, the rate of change and the benefits accrue over time, making the new technology more and more valuable for those who embrace it.

    Denial ain't just a river in Egypt..agree with you and dfelt.....
  20. A Horse With No Name
    Indeed....!
  21. A Horse With No Name
    We are getting closer to the threshold of where EV's will become more mainstream.
  22. A Horse With No Name
    Exactly...the future will go to those who embrace it. People were still investing in steam ships right up until the point Boeing brought out the 707 Jet....and then the Steam ship went the way of the steam locomotive... It is just a matter of time at this point.
  23. A Horse With No Name
    Hell yes!
  24. A Horse With No Name
    Ohh absolutely, no one else is building anything quite like this. Not really a truck guy, but if I had room for multiple vehicles in my household, I would buy one.
  25. A Horse With No Name
    Seems rational...
