    There is a sickness to being a car lover. I suppose it's the same as a guy that can't keep to one girl. As soon as another beauty walks by, all bets are off and your like a dog seeing a cat. Ditto for me and cars. I have 5 right now and several given away but still insured by me and in the hands of nephews in college. STILL, I just GOTTA have two cars this next year...the newest BMW X3 and this 1. God I wish I could get some help! But the new X3 can do 0 to 60 in under six seconds! And I just know I need an SUV toi carry, well...something! And the 1 seems like the perfect "me" car. Not as smart as a Mazda, but powerful fast and solid. The "I'll be back in an hour 'cause I think I need to go up to St Louis to get a loaf of bread" car. I really need to seek out some help.

    Stunning car. All around. I'll take an "M" example please...

  • Rochester I'd rather have a slow-as-mud Plymouth Prowler than this thing. At least the Prowler looked cool.
  • Kcflyer Don't understand the appeal of this engine combo at all.
  • Dave M. This and the HHR were GM's "retro" failures. Not sure what they were smoking....
  • Kcflyer Sorry to see it go. The interior design and color options in particular are rare in the industry
