>>in terms of an investment, they hold their resale value better than a Honda. Not the models I checked. And since Mercs cost so much more, you lose so much more. As for quality, Honda is probably better LT too.

Brian, I drive a Honda Civic, still gets 40mpg on the highway 30 in the city. Gas Hogs drivers like you shouldn't be preaching to the rest of us about the need for mass transit. I guess leadership by example is passe' these days. First your hero McCain screams about the horrors of PAC money corrupting the election process, while all the time he accepts free plane rides around the country from donors. Then you wail on about how unfair it is for soccer moms to drive gas guzzling SUV's, while at the same time you drive one of the worst gas mileage vehicles in the country. Next thing you know Al Gore will pop in here and scream bloody murder about how wrong it is that we don't support the public schools system, when everyone knows he sends his own children to elite private schools. Or better yet, Barbara Boxer will stop by and tell us we desperately need to turn in our guns (for the children), while she opens her purse and tucks her six shooter away next to her concealed weapons permit. The whole nation is becoming Clintonized! Talking is all one needs to do in order to demonstrate leadership and depth of commitment toward ones ideals. Setting a personal example is considered foolish. Talking-the-talk without walking-the-walk rarely produces true followship. And it's the main reason we have so much cynicism permeating our society today. Michael
