I personally don’t find these to be “great” cars. I saw the appeal on paper and went and test drove one this year, but when I test drove one this year, I found it to drive like a large Camry, despite the power and RWD. It no doubt would have been more reliable and comfortable than my 3 series but is it worth it to…

Yep, and climbers are equally bad if you live somewhere that has very many.

Air pollution is a huge deal here because of the geography. Pollutants get trapped in the valley and we often have the worst air quality in the nation.

Diesel is worse, as far as I can tell. Try to find some facts to back up your assertion.

The problem is, they live in a valley between mountains. The valley traps in all of the pollutants in what’s called an inversion. So we all have to breathe their carcinogenic smoke until we get a nice storm. And it never storms here.

Their business, “Diesel Sellerz” (awesome name, I know) is located in Davis county.
