Oh crap...Mr. Opportunity isn't comin' a'knockin' again, is he?
:P
Some would agree with you but most people wouldn't.
I like the commercial when all a competitor can talk about is how long their warranty is.
The best warranty is the one you never have to use!
Me, I'll buy the CAR! not some warranty!

I remember being in high school when a girl I liked got picked up by her father in his 1968 Charger, the first with the coke bottle shape. That was so cool. My favorite Dodge of all time.
It had poor acceleration, and seemed to top out around 75-80, unless you found a good level stretch of highway, manually shifted down, and got past that sticking point. And, given enough road, it would hit 115 mph. At least, according to the speedometer.
Overall though, it was too small, slow (acceleration, NOT top speed), and felt too fragile for my tastes. But, it didn't squeak or rattle, and the interior seemed laid out pretty well.
The 1992 Civic seemed a much more substantial car though. And it seemed like the seat went further back, so the driving position was more comfy for me. I always thought the '92 Civic had a futuristic look to it, and thought that the 1993 Intrepid bore a strong resemblance.

Well, that's good. I was guessing the lack of info meant there was a fire breathing 250 cid 6 under the hood!
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Yeah, as closely as I can tell from the front badges given the resolution of my monitor it has a small block.

A 283 mated to a Powerglide powered many a Chevy and it was a damm nice ride equipped like that. the 195 HP 283 was more than adequate and the 2 speed Powerglide was a worthy transmission.
At 10,000, they are out of their minds!
That interior is original or perfect reproduction, and I know that where I grew up and live now, I've never seen a '66 Bel Air with factory air like this car has. Too bad it's not a two-door sedan.
The '65 is my favorite big Chevy styling of that decade overall, and the '66 is close.
Anyway, their asking price is completely and utterly insane. This car should go for about half that price and that's being really generous.
While still in high school I found a really clean '65 Impala sedan for sale when a friend of mine was shopping for his first ride. It was all stock - hubcaps and all. My friend bought it and became the designated driver for cruising because that interior was huge!
I remember when I worked for Sears, I can't tell you how many aftermarket underdash units we installed in cars like that! For under 200.00 OTD you could suddently have A/C that actually worked quite well!
Today, you couldn't get a recharge for that price!
I used to have two full time A/C installers and they were able to knock out three cars a day each.

Saw a few oldies today - a gorgeous 33 Buick close coupled sedan in Daytona Beach - stock restoration, period tan color. Saw a 69-70 Ford big sedan (likely Galaxie) in Daytona as well. Also a mint W123 down around Cape Canaveral and a nice W126 on Merritt Island.
btw, I'm pretty sure there is a nonstop to Vegas from Orlando too!
I've generally had a negative opinion of FL all my life, and much of this trip hasn't changed my mind - but I will say Daytona Beach seems like a cool area. Lots of car/bike themed stuff, roads seem good, drivers not as bad as Miami, Orlando, or here in Jacksonville, and oceanfront houses cost about the same as a nice condo where I live now.
Here's something odd I saw today in St. Augustine:

In 1955 Chrysler products suddenly became nice looking cars, designed by Virgil Exner after he quit Studebaker because he did not get along with his boss, Raymond Lowey. http://www.howstuffworks.com/imperial-cars.htm
Exner was working independently of Lowey although he was a Lowey employee at the time. Lowey fired him and Studebaker hired him and kept him to the proving grounds working independently of Lowey until he moved to Chrysler, based upon a referral by Studebaker Chief engineer Roy Cole.
There was a TV show called Sky King in 1955 that featured a Chrysler station wagon which impressed me very much. The 55s and 56 models were very nice, but in 1957 the quad headlights and big fins arrived.
