Manual transmission option or auto only?

Yeah I like the look of those. Hope all your gear fits! I Know what you mean about the Suburban. My 10yr old Suburban is the shop today. But I keep it as I keep thinkin I'll get the fam to go camping soon and can impress all the folks with my mad guitar skills at the camp fire.

Both although I'd be getting the Automatic so that Mrs W can drive it. I miss having manual though.

I think spending $900 on a fuel pump really soured me on the Suburban. If I'm going to spend that much money on a car it might as well have a warranty.

It looks cool, but is it a 4 door? I have to have a 4 door for the next 12 years or so.

It's a 3 door plus hatchback. I wouldn't do this if both my kids weren't already into their booster seats.

I'm not actively hunting because my Scion is only 8 and still has under 100k on it, but you have definitely piqued my interest for manual w/turbo.

My youngest just out grew the booster. I think a 3 door could work for me, but I am leaning towards hybrid or electric. Gas is almost at $4 a gallon here and I am sick of paying that for it. My dad gets over 50 mpg in his Prius and I am driving all over the place these days.

Look at the sonata hybrid. They are giving a lifetime warranty on the battery. That alone puts it ahead of the Prius. That's what mrs w currently drives and its a great car.

Thanks, I will. It is going to be a few years until I buy, i still owe too much on my current car.

ALl kinds of things can happen by then, too....I wish they'd come out with a Hybrid SOnata wagon. That would be the perfect family/gig machine for me but I don't see it happening.

I'm still waiting on the Sonata Arctica model, myself

Does that Veloster work for you or are you going to try out the Elantra hatchback?

We're going to try the elantra hatchback too. It's probably going to be a better (if more boring) choice.

Why don't you get a Santa Fe?

or a Tuscon?

 

[Mark Wein]

Trying to keep the payment down.

Just pulled up to pick my wife up from work and I guess this is a prototype fuel cell car parked in front:
