So I'll allow somebody something if you know there's some zipppee whaazzoooo neeeato car coming from (dare I say GM?? LMAO!!!) that may just be the next big thing, but aside from that, basically the cars out there now.



???????????

Oh, and I say "sedan" because, sure a fully-loaded to the hilt Z06 is probably not considered 'cheap American junk'.

Ford Five Hundred.... seriously, I really like how it looks.
CTS
Dodge Charger
the upcoming Avenger
and maybe a Lincoln LS


but the Escalade is a junk.

If it's allowed, I'd go for the Dodge Challenger, otherwise, I'd take a brand new decked out Suburban.

If it has to be American (*cough*RUBBISH*cough*), I agree. The legroom in the backseat of an STS is shockingly small for a car its size, but it goes like snot. Built pretty decently nowadays too.

Ya, I'm wondering how their new Aura is going to do when it comes to market. I'm still don't like the styling, but it's definitely better than most of the GM stuff out there. Plus it sounds like they're reeeeeeeally trying to give it an 'import' feel.


Charger.....OK.


Impala/Malibu = scary, to me. I just couldn't commit to owning something still that old-school American.

Also curious to see what the new Ford CEO can churn out. If he likes Lexus, then I am looking forward to his ideas!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Doh!! You snagged my next comment car.


My next door neighbor's kid just got one......(how the he// the kid can afford one I have no idea)......and it looks really nice. The only thing I have to base Chrysler's record on, however, is my dad's 2002 PT Cruiser. He seems to like it a lot, but he lives several hours from me & I've only driven the thing once so I can't say I have "first-hand" knowledge that it's been a great/reliable car.

Also, it appears that the 300 gets stretched quite a bit. You can buy a $28,000 300 or a $44,000 dollar 300???? :shocked:

this last part is true. i looked in to getting one when they first came out but there's a huge disparity between the "affordable" ones and the ones you see the guys on cribs in.

i haven't driven one and have never owned a chrysler, so i can't comment on the reliability or driveability, i just think they look cool as sh!t if spruced up a bit with some new rims.

I'd love a Escalade ESV, but I can't see paying the 69k, got my Yukon XL for about 35 last year, and the difference is mostly cosmetic. Have you tried the comps ie Excursion etc. I liked the Sequioa but I think its overpriced. May need to go deisel next time.
