I would like a series hybrid powered Chrysler K car. And I agree with Brachinus I would not kick a Corvette out of my garage either. Especially since the 2008 model gets 26 MPG.

I really kinda like the current and recent Malibus.

What Mary Jeys said. I love walkable communities, though I do love the feeling of a pulling a manual transmission car away from a stop light…quickly.

I have a tough time with the auto bailout issue. I know the economic consequences of Detroit’s meltdown would be disastrous, but…our tax dollars for more Chevy Malibus? *Shudder.*

I wouldn’t kick a Corvette or a Viper out of my garage. Or a Ford F-150 if I needed a big pickup.

But if I had the money to buy one, I’d probably buy something else.

Tesla Roadster.

Oh, you meant contemporary American car made by a 100-year-old Detroit company? Hah.

I still love regular ol’ Jeeps, though the closest I’ve come to owning one was my late ’80s Suzuki Samurai. And I like the styling of those little Pontiac roadsters, though I don’t like to sit so close to the road.

But those of you who know me know that, despite my deep affection for my Element, I still hanker toward pickups.

I don't have a need or the space for a car. NYC has just enough space for my actual body and maybe an occasional bike. But! I like those Smart cars, and I like the idea of riding around in a golf cart.
