But then again, I refer you back to my first post in this thread where I predicted that entering into a discussion on this topic would only lead to frustration and futility.
Too many big words for him to understand.

Veronica Vaughn: So it's um, the last day of 3rd grade, and you have the teacher alone in your tent, what do you want to do?

Billy Madison: Well I could think of three things I'd like to do. One would involve some ice cubes and a nine iron. Two would involve a buffalo, live or stuffed, preferably stuffed for safety sake, and three, we bring back some of those ice cubes and switch it over to a pitching wedge.

Billy Madison: I swear to God I'm sick. I can't go to school.
Juanita: If you're gonna stay home today, you can help me shave my armpits.
Billy Madison: Oh my God. I'll go to school.

The Camaro will be a success for Chevy, just as the current Mustang is for Ford. They will make money on it, just as Ford is making money on the current Mustang. There is a niche for this type of car and it is not meant to be the future. Let's just enjoy that these manufacturers are making cars to compete with one another. Competition is good for all of us consumers.............

This is a pretty good show, though..............

Hey wagner. On just this part I gotta disagree by just a bit cause i get a very respectable 20mpg in my X5 4.4 and that's crusing at 80MPH. Don't know why that is but it is and i checked it twice just to Make sure.

And I'm a huge Bimmer fan, but how much engineering did BMW have to shove in the valvetronic to get that 18mpg out? I know the X is a lot heavier then my Mustang but your principles of argument are all over the page.....

Maybe for you, not for me So for me....the GT has better MPG.

...now that that is done I can comprehend some of the responses in this thread.
