Have you gotten a chance to drive one, Jill? I don't think you'll be disappointed. My only beef (and it was a very small one) was a little more exhaust-noise at low speeds from the base N/A 3.7L V6 than I expected....that, plus it's a little big for my condo parking space LOL.

I don't think I will have the time to test drive one. I don't have all that much free time anymore. Plus I have to deal with the sales staff.

still haven't seen one. what i am seeing more and more here, amazingly, are teslas!

mmarshall

In Florida? Give them a little more time....they'll be there LOL.

TON of Teslas here. I must see 10 a day.

mmarshall

That's because this area, like Silicon Valley and parts of the L.A. region, has a huge amount of disposable money to spend on new cars, and lots of folks can afford top-level Teslas. You also see Astons, Maseratis, and even an occasional Bentley or RR...how many other places can say that?

SW17LS

I've lived here for 30 years so I'm aware of that, but thanks lol

I see the same things so you could say the Chicago area. I'm sure there are others too.

SW17LS

And remember that $70k or a $599 lease buys you a Maserati now lol

mmarshall

Probably not to the same extent....though Chicago does have a large population. American nameplates, in general, are more common in the Midwest than Japanese, Korean, or European.

SW17LS

How about we let the guy who lives in Chicago tell us what kind of cars he sees there instead of pretending we know better?

mmarshall

A lot of people, though, aren't aware of that. They think all of the money is in New York or California....though that is true for several areas in California. But we have what is arguably the most recession-proof local economy in the country.

Indeed. The rest of us live in squalor..

LexBob2

Thank you.

mmarshall

I think you misunderstood what I said. I wasn't saying that.

Anyhow, we got off the Continental.
