Cloud's car stuff - Page 8

I don't think my car aesthetic filter is the same as everyone else's. I like the Element, the HHR, I don' t mind the Rogue and Murano's "smile," and I think the Nissan Juke is really cool looking! It comes out in the fall and looks like a really neat car.

but then, why be like everyone else?

I agree Cloud.
And I also like the looks of the Juke, and cool that theyre offering a diesel.

By all means, please yourself.

Cloud · 06-11-2010, 10:49 PM

do you thinking buying a new model in its first year is a good idea, though?

xoxoxoBruce · 06-11-2010, 10:54 PM

I guess it really depends on how much you trust who's doing it, and how much of the car is actually new. If they are hanging new sheet metal on a proven design, if would probably be a safer bet than an entirely new design. Of course entirely new designs are rarer than hen's teeth.

Yeah, I agree with Bruce on this, it's not completely black/white.
My Commander (XK) is a first year model, and I've definitely had more issues with it than my previous 2 Jeeps (WK and XJ) that it was designed from. BUT it is also more awesome than both those Jeeps in several ways. And later model year XKs were cheapened up a bit.

My biggest issue is the lack of a good Chrysler dealership service dept. around here.

I think you should wait until she's at least 18.

I vote yea for new year's models in Nissan. The ex bought the first year of a new design of Altimas in 1994, and the car had a perfect repair record in almost every way* for a decade. The Cellar car is the first year of a fresh design for Maximas, and it is still an awesome vehicle at 175K miles.

* The interior heating/cooling fan developed a tiny noise. That is literally all that ever went wrong.

I'll take a Juke for a demo when they come out, cloud. I'll let you know how i like it.

thanks. May be too small for me, but that's coming trend, isn't it?

xoxoxoBruce · 06-12-2010, 04:43 PM

I can't speak for you, but being too small for me is definitely the trend.

Cloud · 06-12-2010, 10:51 AM

Okay, there's some good and useful stuff to go through here. TW, I "heart" your taking the time to respond so thoroughly, but I'm just going to ignore the political comments, 'kay?

My check engine light is still on, btw.

I looked at the Nissan Juke, and all I have to say is YUK!!!

Cloud · 06-13-2010, 12:59 AM

Well, you're not alone. The automotive press is very unkind to anything strange and unusual.
