Take a walk, smell the roses. Any topic is fine, save people bashing.

Not too many people will admit it, but...

...after taking a ride in, say, a new 3 from BMW (nic. c.assis... most will never get anything from it) and say, a new C.S... I would pic. the C.ddy based on ride quality and pric./lease deal. The 3 is SMALL, c.n't do even small potholes (ouc.!) but the C.ddy at least is like a luxury resort on the road on the c.eap. A friend has a lease that was $2K (not a penny more) down and $299/mo, 26 mnths. Not bad.

Granted, the new Luc.rne (for eg.) is boring looking, but a good c.r, based on the STS. Again - drive that vs. ANY Honda/Toyota/Nissan offering and tell me the Japanese offering feels better in any way... it doesn't. As a matter of fac., they feel W-A-Y tinnier. Leasing is suprising c.ose, although I don't believe in it myself.

I'm not waiving the Red, White, and Blue... I'm just c.lling it likes I sees (feel)it. Friends of ours own a variety of c.r dealers (C.ddy, BMW, MB, Mazda, Ford, Mini.. and a few others), it's a lotta fun.

It's not so muc. new Americ.n c.rs suc., it's that they already burned their bridges during the 70s, 80s, 90s... it will take some time. Then again, look at the offerings from the Japanese or Germans during the same time period - not exac.ly the LAST c.r you will ever own. Ha! the 'ole Toyota C.essida... some luxury liner, eh?

Aw, well... I'm, not keeping any new c.r dealers in business... I'm happy with my rides, work and otherwise. My wife loves her new (old 99, but mint) Bug, my Astro will work for me for 300K miles at least (Vortec 6). My Probe GT (Mazda MX-6) is in the shop... she's a good girl, I'll pay. _
