Yes! The problem is, it's a Kia. (One time I got a loaner Sportage while one of our cars was being worked on, and it was like a homemade Soapbox Derby car. It could not safely get above 50 mph.)

I'm using the feedback here as a guide ... the Mazda3 5-door requires the Touring trim level to get bixenons, and the overstock.com price is 21.4K. Not bad for HIDs and leather -- better looking than a Genesis coupe! (Snark)

It would also end my family's 50-year boycott of Fords. We nurse grudges over generations... Pontiac's boycott won't end until 2030. (GMC lost its chance to ever sell me another big-*** ute when they advertised on Rush Limbaugh.)

I've always been partial to Elements, but the deciding house vote calls it (and most shoebox/toaster mobiles) "hearse-like". (I assume she means the Black Maria from Charles Addams' comic strips.)
