With the $12,000 discount the were offering at the time the Expedition was the best bang for the buck! Plus now all I have to do is turn it back in no fuss no muss, & no being upside down!Originally Posted by altiain
Yet your leasing guy didn't have an issue with the Expedition? I thought large domestic SUVs had one of the worst depreciation curves of any vehicles on the market...
Yea I'm thinking the Mazdaspeed6 may not be for me at this point in time.
The TL, G35 & new IS250 are not really what I'm wanting for a company car, I'd rather not look all Bling Bling to my customer base.... But then again... I am also trying to reduce overhead here at the world headquarters.
That and trying to fit your clients in the car with you for a lunch might be a problem.
Watch it Bean... you don't want to walk into a trap.
Shoot for free lunch I've seen them climb into the POSII! The back seat on the 6 was fine by me, you could fit two adults in the backseat, that's all I need. Basically the same size as the Accord, the Passat was bigger but it was so boring and so VW that we killed it from the short list last night.
That's why I was looking at the 6 Sport Wagon...before I decided to just forget practical and bought the Miata.
It had enough room for me (6'2") in the back seat and I was reasonably comfortable. Unfortunately, they aren't making a Mazdaspeed 6 Wagon.

It sounds like you need one of these, POS. Plenty of comfort for everyone...
Ya never know: you might like one! I drove a 1990 Town Car a for a summer a few years back and loved it. :afro:
S.
It would be comfy until the gas bill showed up.
You'd be surprised... I got to drive one as a renter once and it got in the low 20's... much better than an SUV...It would be comfy until the gas bill showed up.

In that case I'm thinking it's time to start shopping domestic? Maybe get a Town Car like srivendel suggested, or check out the Buick Lacrosse, or maybe an Impala SS or Pontiac Grand Prix? All of 'em present that "Made in 'murrica, cheap, old-fashioned, good ol' boy" image you're working so hard to cultivate.
Besides, 300hp on a fwd sedan (Impala SS or Grand Prix) ought to be entertaining...

Buy a freakin' GTO. You can't get any less bling than that. But you'll need to shift your own gears or buy an oil refinery.

What about a new Dodge Charger or a Chrysler 300C? Lots of bang for the buck (especially with a Hemi), plenty of room, and still better mileage than the Expedition.

Mom has a Charger, she has the v-6 version. I believe it has 250hp, it also gets 24-26 mpg on most tanks for her as well.
