Now, I agree, it is never enough (I'm a firm believer in the "Not Enough" school of HP building. You fellow Canadians will appreciate the "Not Enough" quote - remember the Caramilk adds?) but it is certainly on a par with most of its competitors. Even the handling isn't bad. I have an '86 5KCSTQ, and of all the '86-vintage automobiles I have driven, few handle as well as my Q. Even alot of newer cars don't handle any better. > no. Styling?? Maybe. That's subjective, but I think they are handsome even if they are not exciting to look at. At least they aren't offensive like the Aurora/Riviera and the new Taurus! > Safety?? YES. One out of 4 aint great. > Now add the cost of maintenance, poor electricals, High insurances, taxes That's the price of admission. > Im going to get burned, arent I. I'll pray for you Bob. You _know_ that the Audigods are going to get you don't you? :-) Later, ---------------------------------------------------------- Graydon D.
