    Sexy enough looks and I think they could do it.
  2. Drew Dowdell
    Absolutely. I like puff-cruisers.

    I just had a V6 Camaro Convertible and that thing was way more fun than it should have been in that config. Felt light-weight, fun to toss around, and the V6 had plenty of scoot without being excessive.

    The stinger looks good and drives well, but it's not really my style of car. The K900 is.
  5. Drew Dowdell
    Well I disagree on that... particularly the last LHS/Concord.... that thing was a titanic and that's coming from a guy who loves big cars.

    It's more like the tax credit distorts the used market for those cars. It's cheaper to lease a new one than it is to buy a used one.... ridiculously cheaper. That creates a glut.

    Complete with a "Silly boys! Trucks are for girls!" sticker.

    The Hyundai models I like best have a Kia logo on them.

    GM's (non-Cadillac) pricing is crazy lately. It makes it nearly impossible to support them when the competition is coming with more content standard, or at lower prices, or at lower trim levels.

    The Bro-Dozer starter pack.

    Those weren't mid-size thought the Intrepid could sell as low as a mid-size in poverty spec. When those were out, the mid-size at Chrysler/Dodge would have been the Cirrus/Sebring and Stratus/Avenger respectively. That would have been the equivalent of the Malibu or Contour. The LH cars overlapped with a bit of Taurus/Sable and Crown Vic, and Lumina/Impala/Grand Prix/Bonneville/Regal/LeSabre/Park Ave/Cutlass Supreme/Intrigue/88/98

    So no more "Same Sausage, different lengths" design? I guess we'll see.
  13. Drew Dowdell
    yeah, those are the ones I'm talking about. Not the ones who go out and buy a Denali and just put fancy rims on it.

    It's the CLS
  17. Drew Dowdell
    S class loses an entire E class in value in 3 years or less.
  18. Drew Dowdell
    The CLS is my favorite Benz. The S Class is my second.

    I think we're still a few years from the true peak, but just as wagons and minivans had their peak and subsequent decline, I think it's only a matter of time for full-size trucks as the primary family hauler to reverse course.

    Preview of my review. Here's one for @smk4565

    You're missing your calling doing reviews.

    Truck overcompensation only comes into play when they are excessively and garishly modified. (Stacks, excessive lift kits, tacked on turbo whistles, etc etc)

    “Peak truck market” is probably right. The next recession is going to hit this country hard because one of the things a falling dollar will do is drive oil prices up. A lot of people fresh into their 4 or 5 year lease will suddenly have a truck that they can't afford to fuel and can’t get out of the lease because no one else wants it. Trucks may be more efficient than ever, but they’re still not going to beat a 45mpg Camry Hybrid on an endurance race between fuel pumps. The current model of purchasing vehicles (84 month financing, relatively fuel inefficient vehicles, buying way more than can be afforded) is simply not sustainable. Eventually the credit will run out, the recession will hit, and it will all come crashing down again. We didn’t learn our lesson from 10 years ago.
  25. Drew Dowdell
    Not quite yet.... this might be a setup for it... but it’s not hitting yet. When housing sales plummet, that’s when to take cover. I’m starting to think the Ford is heading towards bankruptcy in the next recession though.
