Yeah thats probably what he'll do, i told him to save a bit more and probably get an ss/tc cobalt. from what i hear those things are quick. Yeah he has no intentions of ever going to the track.

Not that it really matters. BUT you would be surprised if you rode in the Civic. It handles pretty good (would probaby lose that to the beamer) and the ride quality is AMAZING! (would not lose to that)

I don't mind the brand new ones. I've had a ride in a few. I've just always seen Hondas as the cheap, reliable DD that gets good gas mileage. That being said, I wouldn't want to spend $20k on a car that has always had that designation to me

Not a huge fan of the Ford Explorer. The new version looks too "soccer momish" for me

Hey man, that has always been my mindset.

Need a truck to tow the other toys, will eventually pick up a toy car when I graduate (can't wait, hate accounting classes), and if I wanted a reliable, fuel efficient DD, as a few acquaintances have in the past, you pick up a cheaper Honda.

Nice car!

I'd love even "settling" with a base or Z51 C6
