I have always driven pickup trucks to and from work and I have gotten tired of the size and 14MPG.  Now I do like bigger autos and need one that will haul at least five adults in some sort of comfort.  We travel most weekends and drag along five or six kids, a cat, and DumDog.  As some of you know the wife just bought a GL450 and I have test drove every crossover SUV out there.  To be honest, none really made me smile so I decided against buying one.  Problem is that the kids are learning to drive and their choices are learning in a Vett, Crew Cab F-150, or the GL450.  Needless to say these are not good vehicles to learn how to drive.  So, the other reason for a smaller auto was for me to teach the kids to drive.  Of course, I will not let them drive a new car without me or the wife tagging along.   Long story I know.  A couple of days ago the wife keep calling me mini-me and I had no idea what she was going on about.  Trust me, I usually have no idea. Well, I figured it out as I came home and she had bought me this.  I will let you know what I think after a week of driving.  Mine's the one in the front.  Yes, the smaller one.

Oh yeah - YOUR their target consumer. You may as well paint a flag on the roof and numbers on the doors. Don't forget this:     Seriously congratulations. What a thoughtful gift. I actually think the pickup truck would make a great first car - big, heavy, full frame = safe. The fact that the new cars are nearly clones is just a bonus. I bought nearly identical used Nissans and people couldn't stop talking. You bought nearly identical new MBs - I'll be waiting to see it on the news. _________________ ..... putting the fun in dysfunctional.....
