Automotive ennui
"New-car sales are sagging in America and car makers are blaming the
housing slump or the credit crunch. I suspect something else. I suspect boredom. "Face it. A lot of the cars sold in America are just dull..." Wall Street Journal article: http://301url.com/cf7 |

I don't know what "boredom" refers to in car talk, but if a sleek design, practical family car, and powerfully fast as a personal car is any indication of a lack of boredom, I think I've found the answer. Now all I have to do is pay for it!! |

The Malibu Maxx is the epitome of boredom. It's a great family car and it's got a pretty good price on it but I'd sooner walk than have to drive another of those miserable things ever again.

Wonder what you all think of the 2002 Corolla CE. It's pretty boring looking but it runs great and has given me no problems which to me is a great reason alone to own one. I'd love one day to own a sweet looking car but for now in my life, this car has served me well in that it looks OK and runs flawlessly. :) |

Re: Automotive ennui
I thought one could buy most of the world's cars sold in the western world
in the USA. Notable exceptions are, I think, Alfa Romeo (lovely cars, love to spend time in garages) and Citroen. There must be something exciting among them.

Re: Automotive ennui
Went to buy a new chevy avalanche. Found out they had a motor that cuts off
4 cylinders at highway speeds. After remembering the cadillac 4-6-8 engine. I decided against a new chevy. Not just dull, not what I wanted.
