The ones that really fail are the ones that have a very low budget and use one of their employees to exaggerate the quality of their dealership while the commercial itself looks like it's from the 90s.

Poliwag Posts: 28 Group: Members Member #228 Joined: Jul 20, 2009 Favorite Pokémon Charizard	Two different models. Dodge and Audi. Dodge Viper to be exact. I love that car for it's awesome front and slick butt. Heh! Wouldn't mind one of those, however what am I trying to achieve. I mean the car's to expensive for me. I usually only see old people in these cars. Well here is a few pictures for the sake of it. Then the Audi. I have had the chance to actually take a call and have one close relative for what I'm looking for. Image Just it was black and I don't think it was 2001 model. The new ones, doesn't appeal me that much. O well that's not the only cars I like though. FTO, the rare and specific made Japanese model. A yes, a sports model, but ain't as effective like the Viper. But I like the structure on this one as well. But hard to get. -_- That would be Mitsubishi. So that makes three models. Edited by DragonFlame, Jul 25 2009, 07:26 PM.

What do you think of the Ford Excursion? Do you think it was a smart idea to discontinue their production after 2005?

Posts: 4,798 Group: Retirees Member #11 Joined: Sep 4, 2008	IDK... My parents bought a Chevy Suburban in 2003. They chose it over the Excursion because they felt that the Suburban was "big enough" and the Excursion was "too big". The Suburban was based off GM's "regular" full size truck chassis while the Excursion used Ford's "Super Duty" chassis. I think I remember an old Consumer Reports test where the Excursion's fuel mileage, handling, and ride were "significantly worse" than the Suburban's. Of course, GM then came out with the Hummer which gets even worse gas mileage and doesn't even have the cargo space of the Excursion. Go figure. IMO, we should still be driving around in Buick Estate Wagons and Ford Country Squires, but that's just my fascination with station wagons. And any vehicle with fake wood on the outside.

Station Wagons remind of the ideal family car during the 1980s - early 1990s.

Posts: 4,798 Group: Retirees Member #11 Joined: Sep 4, 2008	Our family owned a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park wagon, complete with the fake wood. It was a nice, comfortable vehicle, certainly better than the trucks and SUV's we've been buying lately. We also had an '86 Ford Taurus wagon as a "beater" but without the fake wood. But I did have my first driving experience in it

Hollow Abyss loves it. <3

~The Energy Never Dies~ Posts: 7,980 Group: Administrators Member #2 Joined: Aug 25, 2008 Friendcodes Pearl // 0817 0537 3638 Favorite Pokémon Pelipper	Both. I loved both Lexus and Mercedes. It's really hard to choose. Lexus really knows how to outfit an interior when it comes to efficiency and usage purposes. I also love the exterior of the vehicles, although the IS is lacking a few luxury features that is present on the other models. Mercedes is also another car I love, particularly the S550 (S63 AMG) & the S600 (S65 AMG). Although it seems that Mercedes is falling behind a bit. The interior of the S-Class reminds me of the interior of the 2002-2008 7-Series BMW (R.I.P. Beautiful luxury car and hello ugly sports car version :'( )
