FreedMike, The market for midsize wagons isn't dead, it's just been renamed 'the crossover market'. Egad, I saw a couple of Venzas on the road yesterday...what are people thinking? The new CAFE regs at least give wagons a fighting chance. But as long as there are suckers out there who will pay an extra $10K for a crossover vs. the same product with more glass and cargo space (i.e. a wagon), I don't expect much progress.

Nah this isnt hard at all. Just like figuring out why the TB was canned.. the the Equinox is now just as big. Or why CUVS are as big as SUVS for GM. At my work.. there is one motto. Only thing ya can rely on.. is change itself. (The rest is a hunk of shit)

ToolGuy 9 miles a day for 20 years. You didn't drive it, why should I? 😉
Brian Uchida Laguna Seca, corkscrew, (drying track off in rental car prior to Superbike test session), at speed - turn 9 big Willow Springs racing a motorcycle,- at greater speed (but riding shotgun) - The Carrousel at Sears Point in a 1981 PA9 Osella 2 litre FIA racer with Eddie Lawson at the wheel! (apologies for not being brief!)
Mister It wasn't helped any by the horrible fuel economy for what it was... something like 22mpg city, iirc.
Lorenzo I shop for all-season tires that have good wet and dry pavement grip and use them year-round. Nothing works on black ice, and I stopped driving in snow long ago - I'll wait until the streets and highways are plowed, when all-seasons are good enough. After all, I don't live in Canada or deep in the snow zone.
FormerFF I’m in Atlanta. The summers go on in April and come off in October. I have a Cayman that stays on summer tires year round and gets driven on winter days when the temperature gets above 45 F and it’s dry, which is usually at least once a week.
