    Beyond its use as Oldham's device for getting closer to meeting new, rich friends, the SLS has proven itself to be seriously unreliable in comparison to almost every other car in your current fleet, with the possible exception of the Dart. This is not a good track record. It's a jerk's high maintenance girlfriend; something used to show off and sit pretty most of the time and refusing to work properly every other time... not exactly long term relationship material.

    "When we've had the convertible in the office, though, it seldom sits for long periods of time." That's good, because if it does, the battery goes dead. That's just a minor issue? I find very curious the mindset that in a vehicle that's likely to be a second car, unreliability is more acceptable than in one that's probably an only car. Especially when it's a new, very expensive car.
