After ~10-years, "upgraded" to the VUE which was a disappointment, only due to the pending issues with the VTI. Still got ~10-years out of that before I traded it in (just-about the time the VTI was toast!). What did I trade for?... a Subaru Forester.

    Cheers!!!

      Saturn was the Corolla match, and also my first car, and also possibly the reason I'm still alive. The only serious accident I've been in in my life utterly destroyed my Saturn and left me without a scratch. I have no idea how since, being an American vehicle, I assume it was composed of pressed corn syrup, but... here I stand.

        We had an SL1, Vue, and an Ion over the years. Really liked those cars. We now own Honda's.

          My wife has loved her new Blazer (she's had it all of three weeks). I was a little leery of it being a (very) first run model, but it's basically a parts car of proven tech, built with the Camaro as it's very, very, close cousin.

          Yes, it's an SUV, but it's the same size as her old Equinox was (2013) (new model is shrunken in size), and it looks and drives like a Camaro.

          It also has the side profile of newer Land Rovers nearest to the rear cargo area, that almost aggressive downturn of the rear hatch.

              My next car could very well be a 4 door fully loaded sport tuned 365 horsepower...Kia. Chew on that.

I looked at every luxury mid-sized SUV at the Twin Cities Autoshow. The only ones that seemed to have elegant styling and modern technology were the Japanese and Audi. I suppose the other European companies were nice as well, but I wouldn't want a BMW or Mercedes. Too costly to maintain.

                      I live in Maine and drive a lot on dirt roads (we have a cabin in the woods on a remote lake). I'm definitely not in the market for a luxury car or SUV, I'm looking for something practical. I have a Subaru Forester, which was pretty inexpensive, and a Toyota Tacoma, which at almost $40K is the most I've been willing to spend on a vehicle thus far (I'm cheap when it comes to cars). The Toyotas feel much nicer than the Subarus and I think next time I'll consider a hybrid Highlander instead (assuming someone doesn't have an all electric option I like by then).

                          Because you just talked about buying up every commercial bell and whistle under the sun with your newfound windfall! Seems like "Da Poorz" aren't a high priority in the Kepler household!

                            I've never hidden that the reason I am liberal is I loathe the Poors. They are violent and boring and most of them vote wrong. I want to eliminate poverty and the best way is to raise the Poors into the middle class. If you have a better idea, as say firing them into the Sun, I'm all ears.

                            Just save the smart ones.

                            if you want to talk to somebody who tolerates, nay, likes the Poors, you'll have to talk to Dr. Mrs. She f-cking dotes on them.

                              I can't help you with your selfishness Kep. I'm all about peace and love and caring for my fellow man. Hell, my comments out here are proof of that.
