I hate all CVTs. They're just... so unnatural feeling and I can't see them being very fuel efficient. I'd rather have a regular automatic, but give me a manual please. CVTs are evil.

Although, I like the original rear on the coupe rather than the updated one. This Galant is still just a Galant. It's not particularly attractive... in any way possible. Looks, power, features, size, etc, etc... This is a good examply of "old" Mitsubishi, the one that's dying for being lackluster. The new Outlander and upcoming Lancer is the "new" Mitsubishi, the one that's trying to survive by realizing it actually has to produce excellent cars for once.

..Since Reg sucks at life. The current Altima is still a good car. I'd take it over quite a few others, but it's certainly not on the top of my list. There are just too many good sedans out there now.

Oh... somewhat related... How do I make my headlights look all pretty? As in fix how they're somewhat pitted in places and have scratches here and there. Doesnt really effect their functionability, but I want them to look pretty, ya know?

I know! I read down it laughing at how most of those applied to me. So funny, yet so sad.

Yes, but I bet I've been through it much more. My aunt used to live in Pottstown. What telling you guys that is good for.. IDK.

I wasn't even comparing that. I just included the prices for the hell of it. Technically, though, the MRSP for my Millenia is difficult to compare to the MRSP of a Lucerne. The Millenia I have, was loaded from the MRSP. It had very little options. With the Lucerne, though, it has loads of options with very little standard equipment for that model. The very very base model Millenia had an MRSP $25,995. Considering the Millenia smacks the Lucerne in so many ways, I think being slightly more expensive is definitely justified. You guys just don't want to admit it.

An update... Still suffering from withdrawl. This headache just doesnt want to go away. It's still early, so I don't expect it stop for another week or two. I've done more reading on it and biodentical progestorone creme with any paraben might help. As well as this stuff call Royal Maca available at www.wholeworldbotanicals.com. I haven't looked either of those up, specifically yet, however.

Actually, my fuel mileage is on the rise. I'm actually getting inbetween the EPA rated city and highway mileage. Yeah! Haha... new spark plugs, an overdue oil change, and STP fuel injector cleaner is actually good for something. Sad, I know.

Actually, I looked at interior dimensions and well... The Lucerne may be bigger on the outside, but not on the inside. So, I guess there's no reason not to compare these anymore. Millenia versus Lucerne -Exterior dimensions: wheelbase.............. 108.3 vs 115.6 front track............... 59.80 vs 63.00 rear track............... 59.80 vs 62.50 length..................... 189.8 vs 203.2 width...................... 69.70 vs 73.80 height..................... 54.90 vs 58.00 -Internal dimensions: front headroom........ 39.92 vs 39.50 rear headroom........ 37.60 vs 37.70 front leg room.......... 44.00 vs 42.50 rear leg room.......... 34.64 vs 41.40 front shoulder room.. 56.00 vs 58.00 rear shoulder room... 55.08 vs 57.00 The only real advantage the Lucerne has is rear legroom due to its longer wheelbase.

Upon checking out a few Lucernes, I finally began to realize something. My Millenia rocks. Now, first off, let's ignore the obvious.. The Lucerne is a much bigger car, so things related to that, are not being compared. Also, being that my Millenia is not a top of the line model, but loaded otherwise. I compared it to a Lucerne that also wasn't top of the line, but loaded as well. Essentially the best you can get without the Northstar V8, the V6 CXL. Back in the day, my Millenia had an MSRP of $28,895 while the MSRP of a Lucerne CXL V6 is $29,280. A Millenia is similar in size to large Buicks of 1995, but still just midsize. Millenias were first built back in 93 as 94 models outside of the US. Lucernes were first built in 05, as 06 models. Keep all that in mind. Alright, now to good stuff, that makes Buick look laugable in a way. First, let's compare the exterior. We have projector headlights and fogs versus standard issue headlights and no foglights. All other exterior comparisons would most likely favor the Lucerne being that it is 11-12 years newer, like the power antenae versus the better roof mounted integral antennae, hood prop versus the better hood struts, the aero lift handles versus the better pull handles, and the 15 inch wheels vs the better (similar being the Lucerne is a much bigger vehicle) 17 inch wheels. Second, let's compare mechanicals. We have a DOHC V6 versus a pushrod V6. We have 4spd tranny with hold versus regular 4spd tranny. All other mechanical comparisons would most likely favor, or be equal to, the Lucerne being that it is 11-12 years newer like no autoload leveling vs autoload leveling, regular washer fluid versus heated washer fluid, manual wipers versus rain sensing wipers, power exterior mirrors versus power heated exterior mirrors. Otherwise, both have 4 wheel independent suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS, and traction control. Third, let's compare the interior, where the Millenia undoubtly has the advantage. Sad since this is comparing a 12 year old Mazda to a new Buick. We have soft touch dash pastic versus hard dash plastic. We have velvet finish black plastic versus GM cheap black plastic. We have real wood versus fake wood. We have floormats with "Millenia" versus regular floormats. We have integrated door storage bins versus non integrated door storage bins. We have lighted key ring, power outlet, ash tray, door entry, glovebox, vanity mirrors, front and rear map, rear courtesy, dome, and trunk versus lighted glovebox, vanity mirrors, front and rear map, front footwell, dome, rear courtesy, and trunk. We have 10 storage compartments (8 of which enclosed/hidden) versus 7 storage compartments (only 3 of which enclosed/hidden). We have an auto/memory power tilt steering column with infinite positions versus manual tilt steering column with 7 positions. We have a Panasonic reciever with cassette and 6 cd changer versus GM "let's put it in all our vehicles" reciever with 6 cd changer. Now whats equal. Both have professional audio systems with 9 speakers, Millenia with Bose and Lucerne with Harman/Kardon. Both have hidden cup holders. Both have front driver and passenger 8 way heated power seats. Both have automatic climate control. Both have theft deterrent systems. Both have leather wrapped steering wheels and shift nobs, as well as leather inserts on the doors. Both have driver express down power windows. Now where the Lucerne has the advantage, most likely due to it being 11-12 years newer with features only recently available in any vehicle. We have driver and passenger front air bags versus the better driver and passenger front/side/curtain airbags. We have no park assist versus the better rear parking assist. We have no tire mon sys versus the better tire monitering system. We have regular am/fm versus the better XM radio. We have no homelink system versus the better Onstar. We have regular rear view mirror versus better automatic dimming rear view mirror. We have regular power seats versus better memory power seats. We have no compass versus better compass. We have regular manual starting versus better remote keyless starting. So... This either makes Mazda look really good or makes Buick look really bad.

And I like N bodies...

Looking at what products Chrysler has... I'm not surprised. The LX cars, especially the 300, are ugly except the Magnum, while the interiors are cheap. The Caliber and Compass, also ugly with cheaper than cheap interiors. The PT is outdated and, like anything else DCX has, is ugly with a cheap interior (especially since the facelift). The Durango, GC, Commander, and Dakota are also all ugly with cheap interiors. The minivans are all outdated. The cloud cars are about the worse cars you can buy. Even the upcoming Sebring and Avenger are ugly. I cant speak for the interiors yet, but I doubt they'll be anything but cheap. Again, I'm not surprised in the least.

Saw one... and it's horrid.

Alright, ever since I had my Millenia, it idled a bit rough as the engine seemed to miss. However, once moving and pressing the accelerator, it stopped and ran perfectly. Well, every once in a while it would suddenly run as if a spark plug was bad. It would bog down, but still be driveable, barely. Then it'd suddenly stop. I thought maybe the fuel injectors were dirty and possibly clogged so I tried some of that STP fuel addictive made for that. No real effect. Lately, I tried changing the spark plugs to some Bosch Platinum 2s. Still no real effect on any of them, but luckilly it has yet to get into one of its bogging down fits. The missing is getting worse, however. It now will do it at certain times while in drive (like giving it gas after cruising, or while cruising). My question is, what could it be? Next on my list to change is the air filter and hose assembly (its cracked with a gaping hole, but wrapped with electrical tape. Otherwise, IDK what to check out. I'm thinking of something with the fuel injectors or fuel filter. Any help?

Anywhere within 100 miles of me (besides Pittsburgh) is without all of what you hate about where you are now. Even if a bit to the extreme. But hey, of all the places Hudson posted, Dubois is one I have quite a bit of experience with being only 20 miles from Brookville. So, I could easily advise you about it if interested. It isn't nearly as small as Brookville, so it doesnt have the problems of being overly empty of business and such.

Well... I, somehow, don't see them getting much higher either. Even with the new guy.

Hunting. He and my brother are nutty about it. I swear it seems that it's what most important to them. While with me, I never caught on. I like guns, and enjoy shooting them, but not at animals and not after having to sit around in the woods freezing my nuts off, when I could be in a nice warm house with some lots of good food. I simply don't see the point... Others... they include sports (never really got into them unless for "eye candy" haha), trucks (cars, cars, and more cars... nothing like being low to the ground), waking up early (Im a night owl), and I could go on and on. It seems we're pretty much opposite of each other when it comes to things we like and enjoy, but otherwise... I'm a mini him. I act like him. I'm stubborn like him. I'm a quitter like him. Etc. Weird.

Scratch that. Now down to $2.43. You must be on crack. Infiniti never, I repeat, never had anything even remotely similar to the Sentra. 1991-1996 G20, a Nissan Primera for the US 1999-2002 G20, a Nissan Primera for the US 1996-1999 I30, a Nissan Maxima in disguise 1990-1992 M30, a Nissan Leopard for the US 1993-1997 J30, a Nissan Leopard for the US 1990-1996 Q45, a Nissan President for the US 1997-2001 Q45, a Nissan Cima for the US There's your Infiniti history lesson. Enjoy it and value it.

Are they ever going to show it in any colors other than silver with a gray interior?

Well... after I get my den cleaned, including getting my desk cleared of junk, and after I finished some other things I'm working on, maybe then I'll give it a try. But since I've learned from the past that I'm not very reliable... I'm not promising anything.

My opinion of the Aspen:
