I have a couple pairs of driving mocs, and they all suck. New car doesn't have a clutch, so I'll just have smelly feet. They won't be comfortable when the dealership runs out of loaners and I have to walk a mile.

They’ll probably set you up with a sweet Chrysler 200.

what an urban poser mobile :thumbsdown:
Hyundai is actually marketing the Santa Cruz to the urban hipster, so it will be a urban poser mobile.
I saw a 100% production prototype in October, it is very similar to the Honda Ridgeline. A little longer but other than that it's a unibody 4 door SUV with a cargo bed. It does have a few unique features which will work for some people and not others, one being a permanent locking cover for the bed.

AKA, a minivan.

I've never been to the land of kangaroos and koala's, but aren't those types of vehicles popular over there? (cross between a car and a pick-up... I can't remember what they're called, but I seem to remember there's a name for them... )

A Ute?

I didn't expect those to be as small as they are.

I'm in a 4Runner now but considering switching to a van, although the pen1s extension of the Tundra TRD PRO has my interest.
I got a UTE tunner mag when I was in Brisbane and saw quite a few well built ones. I love the Commodore, the sedan is stunning. The Chevy SS is such a poor example of an incredible car. The GTO, the G8, all ugly ass versions.

I think when the RV is done, I will try and buy the dead early 90's pre-Taco Toyota down the street. Downsize the Silverado, I miss my little Toy.

I thought the G8 was decently aggressive looking, but they really dropped the ball with the SS and we never got any of the real hot versions with supercharging over here. If we did, I probably would have gotten one.

There is a G8 at work that took all the Pontiac off it, looks pretty good.

I think sprinters are starting to get priced out of reality.

Although the DT Swiss one at a race this year did have really sweet DT swiss rims.

Well, I did it. I bought an Alfa Giulia. I will post a new thread shortly. Someday. When I have time.

So far, only several problems. I love this car. It's a joy to drive. I take the long way home. I should tally up all the test drives that I did, just for fun.
