yeah and no… the v6 is WAY over priced in my opinion… i mean 30K+ for a v6 is ghey… it’s awesome on the inside though… i love those things… i’d drive one all day… the v8 is only like 40k… so it’s not insanely expensive when stupid fucks spend up to 60k on toyotas and escalades or whatever…

now the v10 turbo diesel woul dbe sick… that thing is like 55k

all suv’s are overpriced

i hear you…  
escalages, H2’s, Porsche, etc…are way to high in my book  
out of all the Luxo Suv’s i like the Navigator but still its too much$

but my list of SUV’s go like this  
FX  
SRX V6  
MDX/Pilot  
Volvo SUV  
Pathfinder  
probably a few i’m missing but…

I do like the looks of the Legacy. Her big thing is space though, hence the SUV thoughts.

I know I own 3 Pontiacs right now, but I’m definitely open to everything, that’s why we dumped the GM card (and they changed the program).

New GTP is a possibility too. I’m gonna drive every damn vehicle out there. And these have to be full throttle test drives too with winding roads and hills.

XLR is their platform share with the Corvette.

CTS is the small 4 door sedan  
the SRX is the Wagonish looking Sedan by Caddy

Think 6 hour drive with a 3 year old and a 13 year old and potentially a friend for the 13 year old. Remember those family trips in the car. My mother moved to Delaware - near the beach, so I will probably make the trip once a month over the summer. We have the portable DVD player, but that last two hours are no fun.

my bad…in that list i ment the SRX…

yeah the SRX is the SUV/Wagon based on the CTS.  
its comes in a V6 & V8 but from what i red the perfoamance gain is not worth the 8-10K to get the V8…i think its only like 2 tenths quicker in the 1/4  
and getting a loaded V8 is up towards 50K…way to pricy IMO…but V6 around 35+ is not too bad

75K. We probably won’t be doing anything until later this year. Unless of course, some great deal presents itself. However, you need to know what you want to watch for the deals, so that’s where we’re starting.
