scion tc vs saturn sky

In other words, before you retired to spend all your time giving people bad advice, you were in the auto industry, ripping people off?

Thanks for the clarification.

A car represents transportation and, to some extent, entertainment expense. Considering all the expenses is the way smart people work. If you plan to keep the car a short time, good resale value minimizes your depreciation expense. Even if you plan to keep a car for a very long time, the resale value is the market's estimate of how long the car will last and how much repair expense will be encountered along the way and good resale value is your insurance policy against needing a different car to meet different needs that you didn't expect. Either way, when buying new, high resale value in the older models is an indication the car will help you keep your costs down.

Either way, Edmunds and KBB are far better indicators of resale values and projected expenses than a troll like "mike hunt."

Let's also not forget, the solara looks like crap compared to the mustang.

My opinion is not of the minority. Toyota already outsells Ford worldwide. CEOs Wagoner and Ford have both admitted that Toyota will be the number one seller soon enough. Is that a minority?

The Mustang may have more power but less horsepower per liter. It also uses a lot more fuel. Fuel costs is a big factor for most people nowadays.

The Solara may be slower but not by much. It is also much more reliable. Remember the race between the tortoise and the hare?

Mustang owners are apparently blinded from practicality.

That may be your opinion but it is the opinion of a minority. Six times as many buyers choose the Mustang when it comes time to lay out their hard earned money. As usual you don't know what you are talking about, the EPA figure for the V8 Mustang is only a few less than the V6 Solara and the Mustang will blow the doors of the Solara. As to reliability I still own my first Mustang, a 1964.

It certainly is the largest market. It is also not the only market. GM and Ford are global companies. They wish to compete globally, not just in one market. You're narrow way of thinking is the reason why GM and Ford are in the predicament that they're in now.

It is you who doesn't know what you're talking about. In the real world, a Mustang GT uses a lot more fuel. You have said so yourself numerous times that EPA estimates are not accurate. I don't recall you recounting that. But, that's your typical vacillation now isn't it? I happen to know people who own both.

You don't think I know about Mustangs, I have 1967 myself. That doesn't make it reliable.

The EPA rating for my 2005 was 25 highway, I can easily get that and a bit more on the highway and still blow the doors off a Solara.

GM and Ford outsell Toyota in the Europe as well, the worlds second largest market.
