[Sputnik]

I can't believe I'm going to say this but I love the 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback. What is this world coming to?

...obviously a Freudian moment of "looking for a Vibe surrogate." (ha,ha).

I like the look of the CR-Z....but it's waaaaaay to new to be a decent honda....After '87 they started going downhill, besides..., I already own a honda!

Going next week.

I used to love BMW, last generation 330ci was a nice car. Now they all look the same to me. And the X3 has gotten out of its market. It is now entering X5 territory while the X5 is going to Mercedes G-class, in price and size. I'd just assume buy a used BMW from a non BMW dealer for 30k or less with mileage than spend 50k on a new one with the options I need.I think it's kinda crazy that in 2010 they still charge $700 for xenon. Another topic.

Honestly, do people really have that much difficulty parking a car that they need to shell out a couple $1000 to have the car do it for them. I digress.

You have power windows and door locks, right...... ....and let us not forget the ultimate in laziness, the automatic transmission! People WILL pay top dollar for laziness!!!

I'll be going to the Portland Auto Show at the end of the month - but we never get any current concept cars.As for the CR-Z, I'm quite disappointed in how it looks compared w/the concept. Will have to see it in person.OTOH, the Cadillac CTS-V wagon is reported "almost certain" for production. Now, just need a winning lottery ticket or large inheritance coming my way.
