And likewise, he thought that ALL Chevy's (amongst the other brands, and besides the 'Vette) were crap cars built by that filthy American company General Motors....

Anyways, I hoaxed him into a Cobalt, instead! And apparently I did SUCH a good job, he didn't even test drive the car before he bought it. (GM, are you guys looking for a PR guy? )

He recieved it today, and I'm waiting on an initial impression from him, but if it's anything like mine was, there should be lots of exclamation marks.

Damn good job!!!

I was pretty hesitant about the Kia too....until we drove ours and saw all it had to offer...including the 10 year warranty. So far, so good! 3 years old and still running strong. Only two minor problems...an electrical problem w/ the drivers side seat (it would go up, but not down) and the airbag light in the dash would stay on saying the passenger air bag was not active. That's it...no other problems. LOVE the Sorento.

Again, great job Dragon!
