I would never look to an internet forum for insight in such a major purchase, much less throw my wallet on the table. Just my $.02

Right, because a test drive tells you about all the long term history on a vehicle. There is no reason someone should do research on the internet to find out what others have experienced? I'm sure a smart fellow like he seems to be, he can correlate multiple data points into the best decision. What I see is classic jealousy. Just my $.02

And asking some strangers who do not own any of the vehicles in question is what we now call "research"? and leads us to the better understanding of the long term history on said vehicles?
Why not pick up a phone, dial a random number, and ask he/she who answers what they would recommend?
A better solution would be to go to forums that are specific to that vehicle to do your "research"
By no means am I saying the OP or anyone else is not welcome here (who am I to say) I merely feel that myself, as well as others, being adults of what I consider to be reasonable intelligence, have the wherewithall to make decisions without the help of others, in particular strangers.
Take a look at 95% of these type of threads...Most are started with "which one should I get, I can afford them all and can't decide", and nowhere in the original post do you see "In terms of long range dependability, and cost of ownership", or anything remotely close.
And lastly I would like to say that anyone who posts threads in this manner should have a fire extinguisher nearby, because its Flame on.
As far as whether or not I am jealous for speaking my mind, I am starting a Poll thread so everyone else can vote on it, and decide
for me if I should be or not.

This^^^^^ and as far as jealousy I can drive and do drive pretty much what I want. But I don't come on here to ask about what I should drive, in fact you can research cars on forums with out ever asking "what should I get". Everyone has different terms and requirements they need to meet.

I can not nor will I ever tell someone what they should get. I can tell them about my experiences with what I actually own but there are a lot of people on here talking about cars they don't own, have never driven in many cases but seem to be experts.

Don't be an internet baby. You voiced your opinion, I voiced mine.
