Bingo, tommister2. Read my last post above, too. I am starting ta think that the 2016 Scion iA would not have been a good choice for us. We're on our 3rd Kia ('99 Sephia, '01 Sportage 4X4 and this '11 Soul) now and they are cars, vans and suv's that are built well. The Korean military uses the type of Sportage we owned, the '01 style. I don't know what they choose now, but no doubt there's HyunKia's in their stable somewhere. My point is that these are not "Killed in Action" vehicles at any stretch. They're built tough, to last.
Heck, I might even go for a 2016 or 2017 Soul later on. We're at 58,455 miles on our Soul now. Now for some pork, or beef. Don't get me wrong, we're not Pugs McGirk-sizers, we just like Midwest beef, ya know? I'm thinking the nice interior space the Kia Soul offers is more of a blessing than a throw-away.
What I would love and need ta do, of course, is test drive the Scion iA to get the best feel for the import automobile. That lies (at the best price, that is) about 388 miles to our west, in Denver.
Any auto show around your area? Great opportunity to sit in a bunch of cars without any sales pressure.

@iluvmysephia1, relax and enjoy the holidays. With your track record you'll be living in a new town in a few more months anyway. Just get the next job in a town with a Scion dealer. There's currently five iAs in stock at the dealer here.
Fezo, you want the nickle version of the GG saga? They took his 2014 back, and gave him a (slightly lower model) 2016 to replace it, along with a check for the difference.
Have a good day all you turkeys. Sorry, have a good turkey day.
Currently cooking turkey day dinner with our new range which got delivered a few days ago. It's great having a dual oven where I can cook the bird in one and cook everything else in the other.
Also you may recall that I was writing a book, well after a few edits and a long agent search (which failed) I finally got it out there (self published). Wish me luck.

Since you mentioned it the Chicago Auto show is the third week in February. Haven't been in a few years, I'll see if I can get a few people together and head on out there. It's one of the largest in the world and IIRC the largest annual one (or at least it was a few years ago).

Snake,...congrats on the book. Let us know how it goes.
carnaught....curious, now that you've had your Lexus for awhile, can you share your impressions? While not looking at an RC, I might be interested in an IS350 or GS.

Good luck with the book. I worked for a major publishing company for 16 years, and have been in the book business for about 35 years. It is very difficult to get a book to market (in reasonable numbers), so best of luck.

Graphic, the RC has been "bulletproof" in reliability, smooth and responsive with cradle comforting seats. Have a combined 25 mpg, mostly city driving, not too shabby. The ergonomics are Lexus-good, but not the best of all Lexus' I've had. The thing is, everything works well and worry-free. Should I need my dealer, I know I'll be coddled.
Happy Thanksgiving to all fellow car-nuts, and All the Best to our Canadian friends, USA's best friend.
I was listening to sports radio earlier this week and I was moved by a comment Ted Brewski made. He said coach Belicheck had made a permanent impression on him, in that he and his teammates were fortunate to be football players and that at Thanksgiving they should pick up the phone and thank all those who made a difference in their lives....for example, a teacher, coach, friend, coworker, even your car dealer.
So, I am taking a moment to thank all of you for your wisdom on cars, gas prices, global warming, home appliances and health issues.
We brined the Turkey last night and then started smoking it early this morning. While the turkey was cooking I headed over to the gym for a preemptive attack on all those planned calories. The lap pool was full when I arrived so I started with upper body weights instead, and boy am I glad I did.
I was on my second set of reps into my first exercise when I casually looked over and realized I was working out next to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Quick background: early in my life I badly broke a leg that put me in full leg casts for six months, and during that time I put on an awful lot of weight that I didn't work off for another 7 years. But I did drop those pounds and have stayed fit for another 25 years. My inspiration in those first critical years was Arnold through his movies, strength training tips, and health programs tied to the POTUS. Today I filled a personal dream and was able to tell Arnold face-to-face my story and thank him for his work in childhood health. It made an impact on at least one person. He was way cool about me interrupting his workout and thanked me for saying something. What an unexpectedly unique day.
ab348, Have you ever explained why you are so defensive about GM? Did you retire from there or something? You seem to get so upset about anyone that has a problem with GM. Obviously I don't know you at all but it doesn't seem healthy.
I hope you don't think I'm bashing you. I really am just curious.
I don't get upset when people have problems with GM. People have problems with every car company.
I do get troubled by the constant bashing that GM takes here and elsewhere from a certain bunch of people. They seem to be held to a different standard. Why that is I can only speculate. I have been a GM customer for a long time, over 35 years. I have had other makes in that time also. The most troublesome and undependable car I have owned in that time was a new Toyota - go figure. I have known some GM cars to be troublesome, but that is true of any make. It happens. What I get riled about are posts like those from a certain member here whose username begins with "a" that are simply generalized bashing, constantly, based upon what exactly, I am not sure, which he seems to have taken to heart. That is something to really be curious about.
As if I didn't hate OPEC enough, I read this quote today from Venezuela's Oil Minister:
"We cannot allow that the market continue controlling the price ... The principles of OPEC were to act on the price of the crude oil, and we need to go back to the principles of OPEC."
Not much OPEC can do about it. U.S. has learned how to produce cheap shale oil. Truth is, we've become oil independent. Any oil we buy from any outside source is because they priced it low. They can try to raise the price. We just won't buy it.
Plus, demand is tepid, and looks to continue that way.
What the oil minister of Venezuela doesn't seem to understand is he can raise his oil price any time he wants. Having customers for it is an entirely different matter. Surprising given he is an "oil minister". No one ever said politicians were all that bright, though.
Exactly. I don't understand Saudi Arabia's long game. Get shale oil producers to stop pumping oil so that price goes up. Let's humor them and assume that shale oil companies don't innovate, etc., and stop pumping.
Oil price goes up as Saud Arabia wants, but at some point it will become economical for shale oil companies to start pumping again. So there's effectively a ceiling in the oil price.
Not to mention like you said, the demand is not there anymore.
Not sure about that with GM cars. The odds of having early engine failure in the new Corvette seem to be pretty high, and I'd consider engine failure in the first 50,000 miles a lemon.
How do you figure that engine failures rates are high with Vetts.

Don't even go there with him.
Once again we are reminded of the absence of an "Ignore User" function in this software after seeing some of the posts over the last few days.
We have company coming in a few days so we bailed on cooking and ate early at Cracker Barrel. On the drive over I spotted two other places open. An iHop and a gym. The gym was almost as packed as the Barrel. More people out there like Arnold and @tyguy than I would have imagined.
(Wonder how many millions of people spell it iHop now?)
Happy Thanksgiving to all fellow car-nuts, and All the Best to our Canadian friends, USA's best friend.
Thank you carnaught...a nice thought. And isn't it nice in this world where there are lots of problems, to have two countries who are friendly and who can benefit from each others friendship.
Speaking about bashing...you know how my wife and I went to Stuttgart and we had a tour of the Mercedes plant.
I was thinking of what we could do for another trip sometime because this trip was so good. Then, I thought since we have the Passat maybe we should go to Wolfsburg and see the VW factory.
I'd like to ask them if we can see where they insert the magic chip that gives the car less pollution.
Hey, thanks, guys for all of your ideas. I'm glad I got back on Edmunds a month or so ago, again, to get involved chatting about cars again. I used ta be quite a terror on here defending Kia's and Hyundai's. Didn't put down Daewoo's much, either. No, I'm not South Korean, either, nor part South Korean.
As to the question about Mazda's for sale in Dodge City...yes, there is a new car Mazda dealer here (I didn't know this until about a 1/2 hour ago, either) named G&G Motors in Dodge City. They have the new Mazda 2 hatch Mazda has named the CX-3 on sale here already! I could learn a little looking at one of those. They want a bit over $28,000 for the new hatch, however. There's a reason Kia's appeal more to me than Mazda's...one reason being this thing called price. Honestly, I'm not even selling the idea of a small $15,000 sedan from Scion to the Mrs., so I have no real liking for the new '16 Mazda CX-3. Price directs me a lot regarding automobiles (duh!!).
It is something to learn, though, that I have a dealer selling Mazda's here in this Midwest town of about 28,000 people. We are actually served well for new car choices here, just no Scion dealership for 150 miles from here. So, as most of you know, Mazda isn't selling the new 2 sedan in the States. They are partnering with Scion on the 2016 2 sedan. So this is going to be fun. The front end is perfectly forgiven by me. I am actually liking it. The Mrs. is not buying any idea about getting a new car, and, she is probably just about as stubborn as I am.
If I were to open an iluvmysephia1 separate bank account and start saving for a cash purchase, this idea of a CX-3 or iA would start percolating strong eventually, I think. So that's my story and I'm sticking to it. But I am really enjoying being back on here.
Be nice ta hit up rockylee again on here sometime. Hey, stever, throw me a message when you get word of him being on a particular thread on Edmunds, OK? UAW workers, perhaps.
abacomike - it has been nice to meet you on here and congrats on your new MB! Coolio! I just wanted to say I'm sorry you're having some health issues and I feel for you. Good fortune ahead for you, though. I work in healthcare so I'm in the business of helping people with their health. I'm wishing you all the best out ahead, all right?

Thanks New Mexico man! I think the Mrs. and I may be retiring there in another 5 years, 8 months, 24 days, 12 hours, 29 minutes and 43 seconds. Not that I'm counting down the time.
The front end grows on you. Or should I say me. On some iA front picture angles it is really rocking my automotive world. A Honda Fit or any other Honda just doesn't start my motor up. Never really has. But I've pounded the keys for years on Edmunds and other car sites expounding my view on imports I like or dislike and I'm not feeling like a bottle rocket fight tonight, isell.
Back at ya! $15,470 for a Frost 6-speed stick like this one
Man, what an UGLY front end! Reminds me of Darth Vader!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
Isell...we went through this before with the Lexus grill.
First, the front end will look different when viewed from where people see it. Not pretty when shown from much lower. The idea these days is to make grills distinctive so it stands out. And, it grows on you, at first it looks different, then it actually looks pretty nice. People thought the current Audi grills were weird, now they look pretty mainstream.
Honda Fit
Scion iA
Once you get a license on there it will look distinctive, but normal.
Curious, anyone know what the little access plate is for on the Scion grill? Seems a bit high for a tie-down for transport, but maybe that's it. Would make a good spot to tie a canoe painter off to, although it'd be better on the passenger side.
driver100 - man, I think you get it fully and completely. Just like The Tragically Hip, man. What are Gordie and the boys from you there in Burlington, about 60 miles? Excellent rundown on the front grille phenomenon. I now like the 2016 Scion iA grille. And when this little hunt of mine started, I didn't. It's the different angles. And what's weird is in some online reviews, as I see the small sedan wind around a twisty, filming from off to the side a tad, the front end just completely rocks like The Tragically Hip. On September 29, 2015, Das Hip played The Paramount Theater in Seattle. I was gonna go, but this job in Dodge summoned me to the Great Plains from Moses Lake, WA. "Where the Great Plains begin! I remember buffalos, and I remember antelope, it would seem ta me I remember every single little thing I know." The word "little" replaces a word I can't use on this forum. But those guys are what I like to call The Canadian Beatles. Once one of Gordie's songs gets switched on in my head, I must hear it. With much pleasure. The Beatles, Stones, Guess Who and The Tragically Hip all have that talent. Many more, too, but I digress...a bit. Rock and roll.
Hi dudes! I'm a Mazda...I...I'm not a Mazda, I am a Scion iA. Sedan. The first sedan from Scion!
It has been reported the 6 gears switch off like a hot knife through butter. Me, I've never even driven a Mazda. Humm. The hunt must pant onward, gentlemen.
iluvmysephia, it is more like 160 miles from Toronto to Kingston.
I like the line " But those guys are what I like to call The Canadian Beatles"
I always enjoy music though I have no musical ability myself. However, I found that when people hear a song the first time they may not like it, but as they hear it a few times it grows on them. It is the same with the Scion grill, the more you look at it the more you will accept the new look and probably like it.
Has anyone seen Brooklyn, a period romantic movie about an Irish young woman who emigrated to NYC in (?) It has a 99% rotten tomato rating. I am a sucker for these films with a good story line and historically accurate.
The trailer showed some nice cars of the period that transport you back in time.

On top of all my health problems, I suffered a heart attack at 4:00 AM this morning. I am in ICU now.
Within 45 minutes of arriving here by EMT, they had me in the catheter lab and performed a coronary catheterization. My right coronary artery was 100% blocked. So they put in a stent. Most of the pain is gone. The other arteries are 55% closed which is fine.

Within 45 minutes of arriving here by EMT, they had me in the catheter lab and performed a coronary catheterization. My right coronary artery was 100% blocked. So they put in a stent. Most of the pain is gone. The other arteries are 55% closed which is fine.
I'll update with posts as I improve.
