I doubt it will be anywhere near my price range.) === I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make. I can't be a Republican because I like to spend the money I make on drugs and whores.

Can you imagine.. the repair cost for a "5 mph bumper test" ?? 'Course same thing can be said for the new Cooper Mini and most 'sports' cars - so I guess it's a matter of playing the odds, counting on never contacting anything else out there. Gotta love the race to get as far away from those idiotic 13" and 14" wheels of a few years ago, though. I decided never to tolerate <15" - now it looks like 18" will be the fad for a while. I'd guess though, given the radial thinness - puts a premium on the suspension sophistication, to achieve any ride comfort (?) Now as to those vents on the side.. Everybody (thinks they) wants a 300-SL! for those 1-G stops from 300 kph. Ok .. beats a redux of the '59 Caddy I guess. Ashton Hell, I'd test drive one. Who knows, it might even be a sweet handling thingie - become mesmerized. Sell house.

Makers of the erstwhile Karmann Ghia, and nowadays of stuff like the VW Golf cabriolet -- so at least the pedigree to "corner like a eurocar" is there. And the six-pot, albeit in the abhorrable V form (sixes should be straight [ObUS: "in-line"], like God designed them!), is from Mercedes, so don't be too fast to dismiss that either. Christian R.

I'm in the "Information Technology" business, prima facia evidence that there's bats in the bell tower. -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=27764\|Andrew Grygus]
