A Horse With No Name

Quoted for Truth... Chris

I'm just dismayed that you think that God would buy a Scion. Given his age, don't you think he'd really rather have a Buick? Chris

Enter Sarcasm mode ...you forget that even on a GM board GM can do no right and Honda can do no wrong. Now go back and re-learn the first lesson about what EVERYBODY knows about cars..... Exit Sarcasm mode Chris

Watching these guys argue is half the fun of coming to C&G. Chris

...agree on the bland, Camino. The SRX would be my choice if I were in that market. Chris

Let's all remember the Grand Prix as we should...perhaps as a red 67 ragtop driving down the blue ridge parkway in North Carolina...

Focus is a damned good product. We need to actually cut areas other than transportation to bring our energy usage into line. We can all drive SMART cars and we'll still have problems because our energy budget is blown so many other places. You fit into a Focus as 6'5 350 lbs? They are a roomy car... Chris

Ditto what Camino said. Chris

No, but nice to see them sell Avengers rather than Hyundai products. Chris

The orange color on that car is HOT! Chris

The H4 should be interesting... Chris

I'm 6' 250 lbs and fit just fine in a Miata, don't know what ya'lls problem is. Seriously, I don't mind some people driving large cars/trucks. It is a free country, and the hand that takes away your right to an H2 can take away my right to a Miata. That being said, I dispise our current situation (war for Oil) in the middle east and we do need to drop our energy usage by an order of magnatude. Either that or mine Titan, the Martian moon with a supposed petro supply, and I'll be putting an H2 into the garage next to the Miata, thank you. Chris

About 85k or so, IIRC but I may well be wrong. Chris

I would disagree. The Yaris is a great car to bear a good torching. Seriously, compared to the Fit, Cobalt, Focus, Versa, etc. Yaris really isn't much of a car. Chris

Not sure that God exists, and if he (she?they?it?) existed he would be ever present and not need a car to get anywhere. However, one could say the buying public does not like ugly, which is a huge part of the problem. Chris

TC is an older design and there are better cars on the market (Astra...cough...Astra). (Yes I know the decline is not due to Astra, but...) XD is a really crappy design. New Generation xB doesn't connect with the youth market. Prius is over hyped. Real problem with the car IMHO is that it drives terribly. I've known several non-car type people to trade them in after awhile because they handle so poorly. (really hard tires + really high curb weight+ softly sprung+odd driving dynamics) Be interesting to see what happens. Chris

That they seriously sell anything is odd to me. There are much better cars on the market. Chris

Next gen Focus should be a cool car. Pardon our Lust after the Euro-Focus, regfootball. You can't blame us for wanting a home run, we are rejoicing with you that the Focus seems to be a solid double. That being said, sad to see Mustang is still down. Chris

Interesting that the Mazda three is having a bit of an off month. Glad to see MX-5 sales start to rebound a little bit... Chris

Isn't the Dakota discontinued? Nothing here is a suprise, fuel efficient vehicles are selling, things like the Grand Cherokee are tanking. Glad to see the Avenger do well. Chris

I feel about Hyundai like a lot of people here feel about Toyota. Hyundai just needs to die and go away. That being said, a huge part of their being down 11% has to be the economy. Chris

Also, economy is in worse shape than most people give it credit for... GM is getting intself into pretty good position to bounce back if the economy bounces back. Chris

But the dealer probably charges a reconditioning fee if the take a car back, right? Glad to see the new products doing well. Hopefully Astra does well also. Chris

My best friend from high school, who lives with his family in the Bay area, would agree with you. Given Ohio's climate I am really, really jealous of you O.C. for living out there... Chris
