Rick,, no way! even though they look cool (I had one in 1968 , an my friend restores them) they have only 2 + 2 seating (the second 2 being kids ,or 'little people') and not much luggage room.....he looked at them and declined 4,5 yrs ago... Paul, ...are you still dating the girl from Houston , (the one that went to school with my son?) He now owns his second Tahoe now 4 dr, had a 2 dr before...but doesn't want another SUV.... Not knowing anything about the Mitsubishi Lancer , and having seen a couple of ads on tv ,they look kind of cool...and I think start at $14k...

I can say that a lot of the cars mentioned wouldn't be my pick. If I was going to be getting an American car, it would have to be one of the SUVs. My GF's Explorer is AMAZING! Tows things well and has enough power to get up and go. However with the V6 on a long drive we can average about 22 MPG. As silly as it sounds, I LOVE my Subaru WRX. Turbo, 5 Speed, 4 doors, handles very well, AWD, 27-28 mpg on the interstate. I love the car, and after 200k miles it is still going strong! They make non-turbo cars with AWD (as all of their cars are) that are still a lot of fun to drive and very dependable. As for other cars, an early e46 BMW is getting to be really cheap, fun, reliable and safe transportation. I've though many times I might get one of those. The other thing would be a truck! A GTO would be fun, but not practical....
