Unfortunately, the car I could compare to this one, the Peugeot 207CC does not seem to be on sale in US$!! it costs £17000 in the UK. The Miata/MX-5 costs how much? US$21K?

The MX-5 may cost $21k, but they're about £17k up in the UK. So if the 207CC was sold in the states it might be around $21k. Of course it's front-wheel drive...
 
ma baby....:cool:

The new STS's are such a huge improvement engineering wise it would be hard to believe they were from the same company. The new cars have a solidity about them the old Cadillac's just don't have. Everything is well screwed together, materials are of high quality, and the trim pieces aren't of the lowest quality. On the other hand, I prefer the layout of my car to the new STS, the gauges look a lot nicer (digital), and seats are more comfortable. Material quality sucks, even when compared to my old Camry. The weatherstripping needs to be popped back in every 3-4 days, trim pieces are flimsy, etc. Regardless, I still love it to death.

Here are some pics of the interior:

I've never seen either car (newer Seville STS or an STS) in person, so I can't really say from experience, but looking at pics of your car there, it doesn't look bad at all, but that's just pics. In person can often be VERY different. I do love the gauges, too. Very nice looking.

And the comment about woodgrain in cars, I think it looks okay in some cars, but definitely not all.

It's all just preference, really.

It only costs $21000 in the US? :eek:

In North America, the Miata/MX-5 is considered a "girl's car", much like the (new) VW Beetle, VW Golf Cabriolet, and other cute cars. It's stupid, because the MX-5 is supposed to be a very nice car, and it doesn't look entirely effeminate. I just didn't realize how cheap they were in America.

Maybe I'll get one someday.

Damn, it costs around $28000 Canadian, which is a ripoff considering the American price.

Small convertibles are called "Hairdresser's" cars in the UK.

Yeah, knew that. That's what you'd consider a Toyota Yaris or Hyundai Getz, no? I'm surprised the MX-5 now has a cool factor due to Top Gear. I'm sure that Americans are smirking a bit when it gets praised on the show.

i check out that website.. the law states that we can do lemon law when we have 4 or 5 same minor machanical problems w/in 18000 miles from purchaising the car. or we can do if we have 2 major problems.. BUT i have no idea how to differentiate minor problems from major problems.. Can anybody clarify about lemon law..??/

I would have to say, minor is stuff like the radio, tire pressure monitor, and other extra gizmos. Stuff that does not give movement or safety to the car. Like our tire pressure monitor system has malfunctioned on both our Chevys. Chevy fixed them every time, that would count as a minor fix. I would say anything minor, would be something that broke. But you can still drive the vehicle and it is still a safe vehicle. Something major would be Engine, Transmission, or safety equipment. Something where if needed repair/replacement, that would other wise would make the vehicle useless or a danger.
 
One of 250?? Right!!

Between 2001 and 2003, Volkswagen produced 250 limited edition New Beetles, with the designation RSi, in Mexico for the rest of the World. The RSi was powered by a 225 hp 3.2 liter V6 engine, mated to a six-speed gearbox, and Volkswagen's four-wheel drive system 4motion. It had a Remus twin-pipe exhaust. The suspension was tuned by Porsche, featuring a severely altered rear suspension geometry more geared to the race track, and a rear cross brace behind the rear seats. Visually, the RSi differed in its 80 mm (3.1 in) wider fenders, unique front and rear bumpers, a rear diffuser, large rear wing, and 18x9 OZ Superturismo wheels with 235/40ZR-18 tyres. Inside, it was trimmed in carbon fiber, billet aluminum, and bright orange leather. The front seats were Recaro racing buckets. Notable disadvantages found were loud cabin noise and low rear tyre life. Curiously, in Mexico, although being a country very attached to Volkswagen, there are RSis that have not been sold since 2001. This is probably due to its US$58,000 price tag, and because Mexico is the country where most Beetle RSis stay (20 cars).
