Re: What do you drive state side?
Last time I was in California I managed a half-assed life for three-and-a-half months without a car. Just me and blokes whose surnames end in Z out there on department store ten-speeds. The only car I ever owned in the States was a '87 Ford Mustang convertible. It was crap.

The other half has finally relented and is letting me get my Mazda Speed3; just got to get the money together and then I'm off to get it.
We also have a 2006 Subaru Outback.

A 1999 BMW 540 sport, I average 17 mpg and I still simile when filling it with gas. It was cheap to buy but costs a bit to keep on the road.
After renting 40+ cars over here, I’m still impressed with the build quality of BMW.

Hi:
Most Toyota owners I know end up buying another one. Most Taurus owners I know ended up never buying another Ford for twenty years.
I had a Lincoln LS from a firm I used to work for. I liked the car but the devil was in the details -- gladly gave it back when the lease ended.

The 1962 Ford Galaxy was one of the finest boats I have ever driven ...

That's not as embarrasing as my ride....a minivan
I love it though...so bloody comfy! And most importantly it had tons of room for the dog and his stuff

I'm sure if I were to actually buy a car in that range I would research it more thoroughly

Don't confuse model year with calendar year. I remember it used to be a BIG event when the new models came out in September/October -- if nothing else, the sheet metal would be changed.
In accounting and government, there is often a "Fiscal Year" which is different than the calendar year. For the State of California, Fiscal 2009 starts July 1st. For the US Government, Fiscal 2009 starts October 1, 2008.

Re: What do you drive state side?
hmmm.. I thought I wanted an SUV because hitting a deer with one is more appealing than hitting it with a car, if this makes sense.. But I can't decide on one cause I don't really like them 
.. I hate feeling undecisive...
Basement- how happy are you with that A4 quattro and do you have to drive it in snow?
