    Yep!
  2. A Horse With No Name
    Happy birthday!

    Very impressive Ferrari Killer there. Now all we need is the next ZR1 to put Nissan in their place with that Pesky GTR and we will be in business.
  4. A Horse With No Name
    Pretty much this. Beetle and Mini are orders of magnitude better than the Veloster.
  5. A Horse With No Name
    Yep. Waiting for them to come out with a cheaper car. I would love to own a Tesla.
  6. A Horse With No Name
    I would rather own an Audi or a Subaru than a Benz, BMW, Lexus, or quite a few other brands.
  7. A Horse With No Name
    It is a surprisingly nice car. I want to drive one.
  8. A Horse With No Name
    I think you said it best. "Wretched Econoboxes" Sort of like saying you caught herpes from an unattractive one night stand, but there was someone even more of a mud fence you could have hooked up with instead. I would seriously try to move into an urban neighborhood and give up driving before I would want to own either.
  9. A Horse With No Name
    Phenomenal car, I love it!
  10. A Horse With No Name
    It wasn't a judgement call as to which is better... but I think that if the Viper is going to get more power, it needs to be more successful at putting it on the pavement in a way that doesn't include a high probability of killing the driver. ...and this is an excellent point. Even a Focus ST or GTI is powerful enough to kill the driver given a little inattention. In my SCCA flagging days, I saw many a Viper off track when I was a corner worker. Money cannot buy common sense!
  11. A Horse With No Name
    Different strokes for different folks...which is why we have both the Verano and the ATS. Some people prefer the more high strung nature of the Viper.
  12. A Horse With No Name
    Viper is a misunderstood vehicle. The more time you spend with one, the more you will like it.

    ...and Balthazar, methinks the depreciation is a badge of Honor for these folks. How else could one explain perhaps a Brabus 6x6 G63 G class that costs the better part of a million dollars and has actual gold on the intake? Conspicuous consumption is how these richer folks differentiate between themselves and guys like us who actually have to put tools in our hands to make a living.

    Again, the 2014 does not IMHO have even the style or distinction of even the sixties Benzes. If anything, its just a little awkward.
  15. A Horse With No Name
    If depreciation was the only metric that we use, a 65 GTO and a 70 Cutlass 442 were god awful cars when I was a sophomore in high school, because you could find them for dirt cheap. There are cars I love like the fist gen RX7 that can be picked up for fifteen hundred, and cars I love like the Tucker that will bring a million and a half. However, a 65 GTO, 70 442, first gen RX7 and the tucker all have a sense of style and add something unique to the time period they were new, something the top of the line Benz does not do. Would an S class be available at the same price as a CTS, I would still prefer the CTS. I just like it better. And I really don't care if MB sells an S class to every rice farmer in Vietnam or every lawyer in Boston. As Z06 said, if sales volume was everything, the Corolla would be the worlds best car.
  16. A Horse With No Name
    Yep. GM can get things really right when they want to!
  17. A Horse With No Name
    MB profoundly has its head up its ass when it comes to taking care of customers. Absolutely. And if you had it....wouldn't you really rather have a Buick and money in mutual funds or real estate. I mean....seriously?
  18. A Horse With No Name
    Were I to buy a car in that class a diesel would be mandatory.
  19. A Horse With No Name
    Equinox SS would be sweet!
  20. A Horse With No Name
    I think dfelt has a rational response.
  21. A Horse With No Name
    Luxury cars and McMansions are keeping the upper middle class broke and in debt. Don't want to get political, but the USA is a debtor nation to Mexico for Christ sake. We need to invest/save more as a society and spend less on frivolous crap (s class perhaps?). IMHO.
  22. A Horse With No Name
    ...and it is hard for me to like most modern luxury cars. Nothing Infinity builds comes close to a 72 Olds Cutlass visually. Why would I spend 60 grand on a car that looks worse than a car I lusted after in high school?
  23. A Horse With No Name
    Interestingly I read a book about actual millionaires. It suggested people with real wealth often live modestly. I could afford to drive a much more expensive car and choose not to. Actually, were I a multi millionaire the Impala is as expensive a car as I would want. And I would prefer a VW GTI to an S class, personally.
  24. A Horse With No Name
    A neat car but wildly more than I would spend. Sweet but not my style. Cadillac or Audi for me please.
  25. A Horse With No Name
    Happy belated birthday!
