It's about to be New Car Day x2 this month...

Post by Loop Bizkit »

Just bought a GMC Terrain SLT AWD a couple weeks ago for the wife, and thought....


I want a new car too.


This is being dropped off at my office in 30 mins. If I like it, we're doing it. Goodbye BMW. I hated your maintenance bills.

Ford Edge SEL. It's loaded. 2013. Touchscreen, leather, blahblahblah. Looks pimp, IMO. Hope it drives nice. I'm excite.

Still laughing at the dolts who tried to convince me to buy a *used* BMW/Audi/Acura instead of my brand new accord.




Congrats, man! Like I said on FB, my next door neighbors have one and it looks very nice. They love it.

That car makes me reconsider my opinion of Honda. It was seriously nice.

The only thing fun in automatic is an SUV...

And firearms.

I like what Ford have been doing the last few years. The Ecoboost F-150, the Focus ST and the Fiesta ST are marvels of engineering. The Shelby GT500 has brute strength. There are many other good looking cars in the lineup that (allegedly) are blatantly ripping off the Aston Martin design language (see the Fiesta, the Fusion, and arguably, the Taurus).

I like that they didn't directly rape the 'murrican taxpayer with a bailout package (they still got some of dat sweet gubment cheeze tho). I like that they are at least making an effort to make desirable cars under their flagship sports car (Camaro ZL1 is *barely* less than a Corvette... Dodge... LOL).

That being said, currently I'm driving a ~20 year old Lumina, and half-ass looking at upgrading to some early-00's AMG or M series Kraut-muscle if and when it craps out (unlikely since I *just* hit 62000km on it LOL). For fun I ride a 2007 GSX-R 750 during the short Canadian summers that's way faster than any car I'll ever own, by quite a margin I think.

Can't go wrong with a Ford. I have a 1998 F150 with over 276,000 miles on it. Still hauls ass and is in pretty good shape - all things considered. Good luck with the new ride(s)...

Truth.


Anyway, it's ok. To be relevant to this thread, I wish I had checked out the fusion a bit more. Ford is doing it right these days.
