That's kind of a strange decision - they are totally different cars. The Scion is just a normal sedan, the RSX is a quick fun car.

I have an RSX and love it, for what that's worth.

True story. I used to work with a Hunt granddaughter. Very nice girl. Lovely. Really lovely. Married an SMU grad. Even better. Not me. Worse.

Anyway, her car goes in the shop and never comes out. She has to get a new car but doesn't know what she wants. Grandma won a year lease on an Oldsmobile Aurora in some stupid charity raffle and the thing sat in the garage for six months. She offers it to her grandaughter and for months, I repeatedly heard about how much she loved that car. So the time comes when the lease is up and she has to buy a car. She comes up to me and says, "You are a guy, you know about cars, right? I am torn between two cars. An Oldsmobile Aurora . . . and a Range Rover."

This is the kind of bizaare world she lived in. Put aside the obvious differences, she could have bought three Auroras in assorted colors for the price of the Range Rover.

I said that, if it were me, I would get the Range Rover because I liked riding high and could use the cargo space. :roll:

Congratulations to her -- she strung together a collection of words never uttered before (or, I daresay, since) in the English language.

I'm happy to see that someone other than me refers to several lexus automobiles as 'lexi.'

To get back to the topic . . . another way to consider this: breadbox with an engine v. SUV

guys, he's 23, he needs a 23 year old car, not your father's S500.

indian, buy a Denali, Escalade, or if you're really budgeting, just a plain old YukonXL - more room for hauling chicks around, and you can go hunting on the weeknd.

Then you definitely need an SUV to haul around all those shovels and pails and dirt and stuff.

no you should get a Nissan 350z or a lifted F150 CrewCab, and put a supercharger in it
