    Fugly. Who the hell wants the front of a vehicle the size of a queen size mattress.

    That number shocked me. I bought my 2003 GMC Yukon SLT for less than that.

    I have pre-check and it doesn’t always carry over to my travelling companions even when I make the reservation. As far as what happens when we get to the airport, I say: “See you at the gate”. I do this to my wife and/or kids. I travel too many miles a year to put up with the regular line even on non-business trips. 

    I’ve never wanted anyone to be as wrong as I want you to be right now.

    Yes

    I have 15" wheels on my DD. It’s a golf cart mind you.

    I’m being speculative on the 100K threshold, but looking at features like real wood interior, hand cut/stitched leather, and power sliding console it has the potential to hit that number.

    There are ‘19 and ‘20 Denali models north of $90K today, so you know where this is going. Heck, my 2003 GMC Yukon SLT (which I still drive today) was on the higher end of the $30K range) 16 years ago. I don’t get why people would pay these kind of prices.

    The compliments will die off when the pricing comes out. You can bet a Denali with all the available options is going to be within pennies of $100K or even over that amount.

    I’ve owned a few brands over the years. Honda (CRX and Civic), Mazda (626, MX-6, and Mazda6), Isuzu (Impulse and Rodeo), VW (Golf and CC), BMW (320 and 325CI), Mercedes (ML350), Dodge (Raider) and GMC (Yukon).  The Yukon is the last new car I bought in 2003 and I’m still driving it.

    Pontiac did it better six years earlier.

    They might have been the influence for the wheel covers that eventually made it onto the mid-90s Dodge Intrepid.

    That’s 70s era Sierra Classic Impact Edition at the bottom of your post is awesome.

    When you say base do you mean CRX or CRX HF? If CRX and the off chance that it’s a five-speed we really need to talk if you are interested in selling.

    OK, I know I’m going to catch a ton of crap for this post, but I figure the help will far outweigh the well deserved criticism and barbs. I have a 2003 GMC Yukon that I bought new. It has 105,000 local miles on it and now I rarely drive it. Other than regular oil changes, annual wheel alignment, new brakes, rotors and …

    I had the last year CRX that I bought new in 91. I loved that car and had high hopes for the CRZ, but the bloat (600+ pounds) and the hybrid set-up had it doomed from the start.

    While not as lucky as you, I was able to find a 2004 VW Golf with less than 20,000 miles 3 years ago for my son’s first car. Boca Raton, FL...retirement mecca.
