The SSR is 1000lb overweight.

It's the size of a car but weighs 4500lbs and costs the same as the Z06.

Also needs to be lowered about 6".

The new MINI is supposed to be one of the most unreliable new cars on the road?

Audi S4. Older ones had a 250hp twin-turbo V6 and the new one has a 300hp V8. They all come with AWD, but also has 4-doors for better practicality. Older ones can be had a reasonable costs. There are several on eBay now. If one really felt they needed a "cool car" to "get girls" this one is a no-brainer. Of course, when they get out of Junior High, they'll know better...or maybe not.

The latest Motor Trend issue had a concept drawing of what they called the "breadwagon," like a panel van version of the SSR to make a hit on the SUV/crossover scene. It should be lighter and cheaper, due to not having the convertible feature that the SSR has.

your thinking of the new Nomad, they used to make a Nomad

The SSR is also very underpowered, like the Prowler was.

the Mini is not unreliable, the problems with the car is stuff like

the cup holders, or other stupid ****, people take the surveys and

the cars with the most points makes the **** list. Dont confuse

unreliable with owners being nit picky- you should read the

Mini forum someday and see how picky those guys are, lol.
