The other thing you kind of got wrong was the LS’s greatest feature for me. I’m a Texan and I had never driven in snow until I moved to Ohio for 4 years to learn a new job position (I design buildings) and I took my 250k mile 1997 Lexus LS400 with me and it never slipped 6" in the snow - ever.

Driving a car from showroom new to 1 million miles in a (relatively) short period of time is a feat of driving. That’s a person who did an amazing, physical, challenge. All they had to do was maintain the car according to spec (starting with a perfect example, mind you), and just, drive a lot.

A Fit Si would be awesome.

The only problem is that there are often no smaller cars slotted in below the ever-growing ones. Or if there are, they’re base economical ones like the Honda Fit. There’s no Fit Si to replace the old Civic Si now that the new Civic is the size of the old Accord.
