  1. Ford has the most well balanced portfolio of ay car maker, I thnk.
  2. Glad to see Encore and Cadillac doing well.
  3. I have the same issue.
  4. They would be dead after a two week sales cycle. There is no market for a 100k upscale Passat.
  5. They are wildly over valued. I could see the Germans picking them up before anyone.
  6. ....and yet America buys a blue million oversized hatchbacks called small crossovers.
  7. The latest Durango is great. I just took one on a 450 mile trip and averaged 28.6 mpg from the V6/8-speed/RWD Wow.
  8. Wow....puting Michelins on the MINI was almost 800 at discount tire, no idea you could put tires on your beast so cheaply. Tire prices seem to ahve gone up a good bit since 2008 though.
  9. It's still going.. needs for the next few months are tires, shocks, brakes. Thats still a healthy two grand done right, maybe three.
  10. Again, awesome. If I had the cash, i would buy this thing and give it a home in Ohio.
  11. Fantastic...I miss Camino!
  12. Sonota would be the car to have of the two, I think.
  13. I really like your Jeep. I really hate to get rid of a vehicle before it has 200K on it.
  14. Nor is it operating properly. I would be saddened if this did not work out well for GM and the Cruze diesel. VERY positive feedback I ahve gotten from people on the Cruise diesel.
  15. Well, if they got it in the fall of '12, maybe they've had a long commute for close to 2 years...I used to work w/ a guy in Colorado that put 75k on cars in two years with a 90 miles each way commute. Over on the TDI club forums, some guy with like an 11 TDI Jetta Wagoin had 400k PLUS ON IT ALREADY. His job was following semi trucks with oversized loads with an oversized load placcard attached to the Jetta.
  16. You can always wait a couple years and pick up a CPO one... Since modern trucks hold their value so well, new almost makes sense to buy new. QFT.... I regularly see Avalanches, 2010 and older, with 60k+ miles that are still commanding $35k The latest thing I've seen is the Jeep Grand Cherokees. A 2013 with 45k miles (how does someone even do that?!?) for basically the same price as a new one.... what's the point? Even our Encore is holding its value very nicely... we'll probably end up buying it out at the end of the lease because it will be worth more than we owe on it. I saw an Encore on the road the other day. I am not a crossover/fourdoor kind of a guy, but that thing tempted me. VERY nice vehicle. Same with the Grand Cherokee you are talking about. I cannot think of ANY european or asian SUV at ANY price that I would rather have. American car makers are really, really bringing their A game and it shows.
  17. Good luck sir. It is frustrating to have a broken car!
  18. Like the off road vibe of this, but would prefer a GM truck.
  19. My neighbor that never drives his legit 69 Camaro pace far replica had it out on the road...also saw a red 64 Impala convertible.
  20. We are going to take a trip to either Virginia Beach or Myrtle Beach at the end of June but I don't think I will be able to talk the wife into taking this car. She thinks it's too small for that long of a trip with our two kids in the back seat. I'm betting we wind up renting a minivan. I really like renting cars for trips. Any mechanical issues are other peoples problems, and given the per mile cost of car ownership its often actually cheaper. I think you will see more increases as the car breaks in some more. 40 on a regular basis seems entirely doable to me.
  21. You can always wait a couple years and pick up a CPO one... Since modern trucks hold their value so well, new almost makes sense to buy new.
