The car looked perfect, the dealer did not want anything to do with an American car or an Oldsmobile. So you tell me Smartass, why would I buy an over priced, piece of American crape again?
The new Chevrolet Cobalt SS is light-years ahead of the old Cavailer.

The all-new 2006 Pontiac Solstice will be awesome. It will start at $19,995 including a $575 destination charge.

Re: Re: why? you ricers amaze me

why doesn't anyone close this thread? its completely pointless

the xb is a nice car for the price, sure its a box, and that new limited edition is yellow, which makes it look like a small schoolbus, but hey! like someone said a few posts ago, its a grocery getter, perfect for driving the kids around, its cheap also, i dont get why u related the xb to ricers

why would anyone consider buying an xB? they are the ugliest, slowest, eyesores on the road today. out of the factory, of course. they're not quite as bad as every other piece of rice on the road. some people are so stupid. please tell me why you would spend any amount of money on these boxes?
Does it really impact your pathetic little life that people buy xBs? I mean I hate how they look too but you dont see me posting stupid topics on message boards. If people buy them, who cares, you dont have to drive it.

Re: why? you ricers amaze me

You know what I hate more than Scions? Is the people that drive them. Every Scion owner I know seems to be either that try too hard tool box kind of person(who thinks their piece of crap car is the fastest), or those annoying harry potter geeky kids who smell bad. Yep, weird kids and tools seem to be attracted to scions. Have you ever seen those stupid F***en commercials? The kid is like "My scion Xa is customized and fast with a turbo". Yeah, but its not really fast and you drive a F***en station wagon. Idk what do you expect from the company that came out with the car that's logo was "LOOKS" fast. haha I rather have my car logo be "IS" fast.

You do have a right to your opinion, just like everyone else here. You have made your point, now go to another board and tell them how much their cars suck. Thanks for stating your opinion.

Re: why? you ricers amaze me

the only real complaint I have with my xb is the gearing, at 75 mph I'm doing about 4k rpm, which makes the car sound wound out, if they had put a different gearing in the tranny, and make it run at about 2k at 75 mph, you could easily get 40 mpg

HMMM...I just bought a Xd.....and my pickup truck is faster/quicker than your Mercedes!

I honestly TRIED to find a domestic to buy. Not only were the Toyota offerings better in terms of gas mileage, amenities, styling and reputation of reliability, but the salesman was actually competent! Find THAT at a domestic dealership!

I LIKE all cars/trucks, the Mustang is about as good in styling and performance as you will ever see, BUT my daily driver MUST get better than advertised mileage AND superior reliability.

BTW, I'm 54 years of age and I don;t feel like I was targeted because I was young!
