I think I read somewhere this redesign has been a big flop sales wise. Can't imagine owning one of these, would rather buy a Honda Element which is a bit better looking, well sort of. My wife and I went to the LA Auto Show last Friday. She asked me on the way out "If money was not object what would you choose to drive?" Gotta say nothing really impressed me and would have a hard time choosing much over my '04 MINI "S". Maybe one of the Porsches. The California Ferrari is butt ugly and I'm not a fan of Lambos. The concept Rivera is pretty kool but I think a bit over the top. Sorry I'm rambling... nice write up. My thought, Ya couldn't give me one.
