  1. used tampons have more objective journalism in them than edmunds does.
  2. yes i have. the aerio was fun to drive, but yes it was too noisy. it has good interior room and is fun and interesting.
  3. "I always loved that one"
  4. no, like I just said, they are buying them as replacements for sedans etc. they want the utility approaching a large SUV but they want the thing to drive like a car, including ENGINE POWER. you have no pulse on the market. Hell, Acura cancels its stir fry coupe, no one cares. no tears were shed. no one wants sedans, and especially no one wants coupes and looks what shows up, the RDX. coincidence? I THINK NOT. Cute utes, crossovers, etc. is where the market is at.
  5. well its because people want suv's that are not huge like tahoes and blazers and they want them to basically be high sitting cars with a hatchback. People don't want sedans anymore. It's that simple. Sedans sit too low and don't have the cargo utility. And they don't want them to be dog slow either since they are a replacement for cars more so than a replacement for bigger trucks. they want and are getting carlike handling...and they want hot rod power. since chevy sells all its equinox with v6 and ford probably 75 percent of its escape that way, vue maybe 50%. i'm guessing the outlander didn't bother with the 4 because no one wants a four. the suzukis are 6 cylinder. that's what the market wants. the caliber etc is a four popper but is smaller chassis, it was meant to replace the neon microcar. Toyota intends about 70% with a 4 cylinder but i bet that number changes to at least 50/50 when they see real demand and have satisified production engine v6 outputs for enough new CamLEES. i am sure the 6 cylinder will soon be at least 50% of toyotas. Look how mazda botched the Mazda6 launch, they made all four cylinders and no one wanted them. Now, most Mazda6's are 6 cylinder and they finally sell. Even Subaru wised up and the legacy outback gets a 6. real fuel mileage in a vehicle as piggish as this will be about the same with a v6 vs. four anyways. the rav4's have nearly equal mpg between 4 and 6 cylinders. go look at all the owner testimonials on edmunds about the element and see all those weak 4 poppers getting MAYBE 21 22 mpg. the press and cultists allow honda to be honda and that's great if the kool aid goes down good. but truth is, honda botched it by not offering a v6 here. Ha ha, even KIA gets it and the Tucson/Sportage has the v6. the bigger botch was the RDX, which is a four cylinder fat pig with bad mpg, that consumes more fuel than an escalade, Q7, navigator, QX56, and Mercedes GL class.
  6. the wrangler is still more hard core off road than an xterra etc. I would never take the wussy FJ through stuff you wouldn't blink an eye at with a wrangler.
  7. maxima up? bizarre, about as much as the avalon is down. I'm cool with that. versa sales make up for lost altima sales. murano sales are proof of the country going crossver. Fored Edge sales will bit into this and Acadia and Outlook have great prospects for the future.
  8. the aerio is still kicking ass!!!!! the XL7 will sell well I bet.
  9. its an increase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's like that scene in that Jim Carrey movie where this chick tells him there's like no way she'll date him etc. and then he goes... 'so at least your telling me there's a chance!?"
  10. for the camLEE being all new, its sales aren't up that much. why anyone buys scions is beyond me. tin cans.
  11. Lexus' entire line is like only a year old. LOL
  12. if you look at all the cars etc. that ford has tanking in sales, its generally because ford didn't invest in making the car desirable or as good as the competition or they have given up on it or they half assed it. those are management issues. fire them all. build on the success of the fusion and mustang, and wait for the edge.
  13. there was a blond milf in a new g6 convertible last night. she had her top down.
  14. excuses. its a dog. its competitors will outrun it. continue to make excuses for 100hp fits and slow ass crv's and other slow ass honda products all you want. a customer will test drive the rav4 and crv and probably walk away with the rav4. only exception is the crv looks a bit better than the rav4. customers who finally come to their senses and want more for their money will then go out and get an outlander or xl-7 or equinox, vue, edge, escape
  15. regfootball

    camry craze

    the fusion is more like a mazda and the aura is more like a honda.
  16. yup. but they are selling.
  17. if it were a honda badge they'd be gushing
  18. just trying to put an accurate spin oh how bad preseason FB is.
  19. she was hot like 4 years ago. now, since ashlee got her nose and face done, she's better looking than Jess.
  20. hore!
  21. YUP!
  22. turned 36 yesterday.
  23. you think its possible my AZTEK has even more personality than a Lexus?
  24. a guy in my church group has a CLS. NOW THAT's a stylish sedan.
  25. i don't think the new S class is very nice either. its darn dull actually.
