I’ve never been a Crown Vic. However, citing my previous comment(where i list other small vehicles), not sure where you are coming from Pete. You don’t need to justify your trash can to me, as long as you are happy with it, that’s what’s important.

As for my driving style, I just enjoy driving, pushing vehicles to the limit, and performance makes my toes curl. So yes, my daily driving is probably a bit different than yours.

yeah, there were a lot of people who agreed with Christopher, but they’re now too old to drive. When was the last time you was a new Crown Vic? I have an 07 Fit Sport stick, and I can keep up with Mercedes and BMWs on the twisty roads around here. 0-60 in 9 seconds and you wouldn’t feel comfortable on the interstate? What a loser! How often do you enter a freeway going flat out, pedal to the metal? If you are, you need a driving refresher course. A few seconds in acceleration time don’t really matter in daily driving.

People who think that a Ford is in any way a better car than a Honda are the main reason for the crisis of American car industry.

Hi prufrock.

I’m not against smaller vehicles that get good gas mileage, it’s the looks of these trash cans going down the road that bothers me. But I realize I’m not the only one buying vehicles, so if you are happy, great!

For example, I really like the looks of the Ford Fusion, Fords new Flex, and even the older Focus.

I’m not willing to sacrifice $17,000 on a car that looks like a midget dumpster on wheels.

Wow! Talk about “damning with faint praise!” I’m no girl getting ready to go to college but a father who just visited his daughter in college. On the way to see her, the Fit averaged over 40 MPG on the highway; moreover, it’s a more spirited ride than my ‘02 V6 Accord coupe. Yeah, I guess that the cost of steroidal-sized SUVs and trucks is dropping. Who cares? Today, GM and Ford posted losses beyond compare. Who knows? Maybe if other car companies were as visionary as Honda, our economy would not be in the plight it is. But, hey, you can buy a Cadillac Escalade hybrid for $75,000 while still getting 20 MPG! At least you’re getting leather instead of a cloth interior. I’m a big fan of Japan’s ‘08 car of the year….
