WTF should I buy (A consolidated list of bad decisions)
#41
I did the same thing when I bought my Canyon because the new truck prices were basically the same as the used options. Trucks down souf hold their resale value so well

1. Kens list is on point

2. Wagons/hatches are life

3. I'm just gonna be the odd man out and say Volvo. At least test drive it. They're nicely equipped cars with decent power trains. As for reliability eeehhhh I dunno...warranty?

Any interest in the non V CTS wagons? You can get RWD or AWD, a bit more space, and lots of luxury.

Example:

The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

IMO those cars are ugly as balls, and the only saving Grace is the CTS-V drivetrain.

Plus $24k for a 40k mile GM product....nah I'm good.

This is what I would buy if I had to buy a wagon. No, I don't care that the dash looks like it came from a Neon. Still way more badass than a GTI or a Mazda anything or some 32x with a body kit. Merica.

I actually saw one of those at my office yesterday and they still do look very cool from the outside. But holy shit that interior is awful.

THIS....

Having worked at Enterprise and driven pretty much every Chrysler product of that era during the time frame I was there.....

I'd rather keep the Prius.

I drove Blair's 300C SRT8 back in the day. The engine is Mercedes, the transmission is Mercedes, the brakes are Brembo, the SRT8 seats are really comfortable and pretty cool looking, exterior styling is great, stereo is great, and the thing was fast as hell. The dashboard plastics suck... so what. Try not to grin from ear to ear when you get into 425hp.
