You're good.

I want to trade it in for something that doesn't cost a small fortune to fill up.

We move vehicles for 6 Audi dealerships, and I like Audis, but they're pretty pricey for a vehicle to shuttle kids around in.

Have any suggestions?

I'm not very good at figuring out kid shuttles, but I do love Volkswagens!!  I took a new Golf GTI for a spin the other day and was amazed by the room, sportiness and utility...  I'm guessing that after driving something as large as a full size SUV for awhile it would seem extremely cramped...

I probably won't trade in my pimpmobile. I like it more than I hate gas prices.

Gas prices are dropping again, hopefully they fall far enough that these dumbass Prius owners look at that shapeless pile of crap which is exceeded in ugliness only by the Pontiac Aztec and wonder what they were thinking.....  I'd give up at least fifty miles per gallon not to be seen in something so ugly....

Nothing beats a Scion for ugly. Seeing them makes me cringe.

The Scion is backed up by some real marketing genius....  For decades American youth would lust after only the lowest, widest, raciest looking cars...  When I was in high school my friends and myself would get excited about the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, Dodge Viper, Chevrolet Corvette, anything Ferrari, anything Lamborghini...   My dad's generation had the same criteria for lusting after cars, lower, wider, more powerful.....  I hear the youth of today getting excited about Scion and I feel like throwing up a little bit...  How can someone market something that ugly and that gutless and generate any level of excitement at all?

Small car, great economy....  Same concept as the Prius, but the Isetta is cool........

What about PT Cruisers? Totally gutless. No power at all.

I can't believe they sold so well. Pieces of shit.

Now there's an automobile.  Small, German, lightweight, air-cooled, loud, hard to control in turns.  Like this guy:

I normally don't give too much credit to sedans, but I love the look of the new Mercedes C Class Sedan...  I actually like it better than the looks of the C Class Coupe...  Almost every review I've read on it has criticized it for having bland styling, but I think it looks very poised and I don't see it looking outdated anytime soon...

To me, that's the key. Simplicity in styling, and a respected manufacturer.

So some of the pictures being posted now beg the question "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO CAR DESIGN IN THE EIGHTIES!!!".
