Then tell her you're gonna have to sell the EX

Problem is she loves the Excursion as much as the 18 year old Mustang

We want to get moved this year so we can have a 3 car garage to get all three vehicles inside.

I was behind a new 335i yesterday,what a sweet ride.

Yeah we're looking very strong now at the 2008 Jetta SportWagen TDI which comes out near the end of summer.

Staying with a Diesel is important but...........a 44 gallon tank rig that gets less than 20 mpg at $4 a gallon fuel aint gonna cut it

Can't believe this morning I woke up to consider selling the Excursion

I've had a few of those mornings. I get right at 12 MPG and I can't figure out why. It's been that way since day 1.

Bart, did you ever find out what gears you have?

Dear Lord, forgive Bill for thinking bad thoughts about his EX, and bless the natives down in New Guinea, Amen.

I'll be track'n this Thread. We're in the market for a new 2nd car also. Guna keep the 350 for Towing/Travel but looking for something Diesel or a Hybrid. Scarey though.. Don't know much about the Hybrids.

Hybrids are useless for long commutes. Thats what the marketing campaigns do not tell you. The only benefit from a Hybrid is in town driving.Be afraid , be very afraid.

The part that gets me is a hybrid owner can take a tax credit for owning one. I have a car that gets 40+ mpg without high environmental impacting batteries, do I get credit ? F#@& no!

Hybrids in there current state are not cost efficient for the MFGR or the 2nd owner.The auto makers are only building them to comply with average CAFE ratings and clean air standards set forth by the EPA.

A Lexus SUV Hybrid cost Toyota 80k to build and they sell it for 50k.They can't keep that up for long.

If anyone(VW) would design a Diesel TDI/Hybrid, now that I would be interested in.
