Getting a new car....what are some good ones?? help? :)
Hey everyone, well im not getting a new car like tomorrow or anything im shopping around, i will be FOR SURE getting it july of next year, but until than im hoping some awesome cars/trucks come out.....The reason im getting a new vehicle is I AM GETTING TOOOO BIG for my little toaster, (Tall) lol.. i was 6' 3" when i got my box (2 1/2 years ago) weird thing is i went to a doctors appt. about 4 days ago to get my tendonitis checked and he had to check my height IM NOW 6' 7"
ive noticed that my leg is constantly rubbing on the center dash console, and i also starting to hit the front of the dash, right beside the steerling wheel, i cant even sit on the passangerside because it just seems like there is WAYYY less room ont hat side than the driver side.. i gotta sit in the back seats 
anyway, yeah so im on the prowl for a nice new truck....So i thought id come on to SL and get some maybe (hopefully) good advice on a nice roomy truck i dont really care about the "MPG" and sh!7 like that.. so maybe some of you know of any new models coming out? or can point me to a certain maker?? anyway yeah thanks for any advice on ANY vehicle out there,
Oh yeah, and btw im not getting rid of the brave little toaster, this is going to become my "MOD car" now..gonna start fixin it up and dropping it like really low, put some 20's on, just gonna do stuff that i cant do now to it, so all i gotta do is just load it up on a trailer and off i go lol.......

Only time I'll ever push this company is for their newer trucks. Dodge. Not a Dakota, but a 1500 or bigger. I'd stay away from their new deisel until we know what the bugs are, but the old Cummins is still tops in my book.

Wait till GM brings over the Holden Ute. It is more than likely going to be marketed in the US under the Pontiac G line up. Chevy claims to have too many models in the line up to fit a next gen El Camino. All I know is RWD LS1 with a truck bed FTW!

Actually, a Mini might just work. But you'd have to remove the driver's seat and drive it from the back.
On a more realistic note....my wife has a Nissan Versa and most people are shocked when they see how much head and leg room is in there. You might want to check one out. As for trucks, have you sat in a new Toyota Tundra?

Have you considered simply lowering the seat and/or moving it back in the xB? They do this kind of thing at Porsche dealers for NBA players on a regular basis.
