The old 7 was very pretty, and not a bloated behemoth by any means. They've shitted up the BMW line with those angles on the new ones.

A 3 is a wonderful car. So is a 5. Good, solid rides. But I buy all my shit used, from auction. I'd never buy any metal new. Car is the worst fucking investment on the planet. I'd lease, but the old lady puts too many miles on the rides.

5 is nice. 3 is too small with kids.

7 is kind of cool looking like the back end is like a spaceship.

Like mercedes better tho.

I really like the Saab, especially for the price (cheaper than the A3, which I can't get for under $29.5).

3 is fine with 2 Britax in the back, actually, at least for a second car. No running-around room, of course.

Maybe the Z4? If I had no kids that I acknowledged unproven paterntiy over, I would go with that.

Fag. Landcruiser baby. Its the shit.

"Canyonerrro!"

I've tried to sell it twice, but I can't bring myself to part with it. I just love the fucker. It's dinged, has a bunch of miles on it, but it just keeps performing. I never loved a car before this one. I understand why people keep them and you see them on the road to 200,000 miles.

Th gas thing... eh, not so good.

I used them because they are monsters, size-wise.

I liked the Saabs that I saw at the auto show. Especially for the price. Haven't ridden in them since GM (?) took them over, but they are sharp looking cars. No A3's, mind you, but cheaper and good looking.

My 4runner gets 17 MPG around town, which is about what any AWD car will get around town.

That. is. not. a. proper. truck.

I don't do Rover products. They are pretty, but that's about all. Cash pits for suburbanite knuckleheads who want to show off at Whole Foods.

Those new ones are fucking nice. I dig those. Don't really dig the Sequioa, though. Looks like a pregnant Landcruiser.

I want a nice, smaller sedan that's fairly quick and gets good mileage. I've driven SUVs all my life (except for my first car, a four-banger white 1987 Mustang - sounded like a freaking lawnmower), and am sick of their size, poor handling and crappy gas mileage.

If it weren't for the Sedan thing, I'd recommend the Mini Cooper S. My sister just got one, and I'm thoroughly impressed. She was sold when she was test driving it at about 87mph comfortably in fifth gear on the freeway, and the salesman said "You know, there's another gear."

We (comfortably) fit three people and three dogs in it, and if you have a friend or family member who has an SUV for those every now and then trips to Home Depot or Ikea, it's pretty awesome.

Besides, Mrs. Finch had the chance with ME. Way different situation.

I realize you have no opinion and I guess I was not making myself clear. I don't care what you do. That kind of life is just not for me because I hold the opinions that I hold. And whether or not those opinions are valid for the rest of the world is really not my problem. Or anyone elses.

Today is not an "I'm going to attack Sidd's choices" day. (That's tomorrow.)
