yep chconline....i mean it "looks" good but the plastics are cheap. even the ones from my 2006 lancer were better...i still like the car though. i think if they raised the price of the car in 400 or 500 more bucks they could've made the plastics way better but who knows.

I love the look of those Lancers, but the interior could be more sporty looking.

Am I seeing paddle shifters? So I guess CVT transmissions have a given number of gears, even though mechanically it doesn't? :huh: How's the drive? Smooth, sporty, etc?

hey revvo. yeah the look is vry cool...kinda aggresive. and yep, the interior could be better...

the GTS version has paddle shifters...mine doesn't have it. but the suspension on the lancer is great and still feels like a sporty car..i get that feeling that when i hit the gas i get stuck to the seat (not sure if i said it right)...but its fast.

Thanks man. I've been thinking about picking up a Porter-Cable 7424 Random-Orbit Polisher with some pads, polish, and other stuff. I am really interested in detailing.

Something like this:

http://www.autogeek.com/ag_CarCare.asp

Porter Cable 7424 & Pad Kit with CCS pads!

Available from AutoGeek.net We Are Car Care

Professional quality results at home!

Ahhh?the Porter Cable 7424. I don't want to show favoritism, but its hard not to. This machine has everything you could want in a dual action polisher: its user-friendly, lightweight, convenient, safe, and ? most importantly ? it gives you excellent results! I've paired the PC with a selection of 6.5 inch CCS pads at a substantial savings to give you the power to correct and improve your vehicle's finish at home. This is all you need to get started on your way to perfect, shiny paint!

The 6.5 inch CCS foam pads included in this kit are manufactured by Lake Country Manufacturing, the maker of premium polisher pads and accessories. All pads have Velcro? brand hook & loop fasteners to secure the pad to the backing plate.

CCS stands for Collapsed Cell Structure. The face of a CCS pad is covered in strategically placed pockets. These pockets are locations where the foam cells have been closed. Polish does not absorb into these closed cell pockets, leaving more product on the pad's surface and on the paint. This polish-saving design gives polishes a longer working time, which results in more successful detaiKit includes:es:

? Porter Cable 7424

? 5 Inch Backing Plate

? 2-CCS White 6.5 Inch Polishing Foam Pads

? 2-CCS Gray 6.5 Inch Finishing Foam Pads

? 1-CCS Blue 6.5 Inch Finessing Foam Pad

? 2 Cobra Indigo Edgeless Microfiber Polishing Cloths

? 12 oz. Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Cleaner

? 12 oz. Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Conditioner

? 1 Flat Wrench Price: $199.99b>Price: $199.99

What is the matter with people, no one drives a truck anymore?!?!

02 Chevy Avalanche, 5.3 V8

not built for fast but can pull just about anything

3 TV's, XBOX, DVD, Sat Radio, TV Tuner

That isn't a truck... Your vehicle is a SUV... I drive a GMC Sierra... this vehicle I drive is actually a truck.

Next purchase, I may get either a new Mustang or a new pickup truck.

I drive a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. Love that car. My wife commutes a little ways to work, so she drives a 2003 Honda Civic.

We just bought a house that will need a lot of fixing up, so I'm almost wishing we got a truck.
