[s-cars] A4 1.8, 3.0 or TL

[Dan B]

Even better, in 2004 the Jeep Liberty will be
offered with a diesel V6 engine. I think the
Touareg looks retarded..

Plus the Jeep is still kinda german, being a
product of DaimlerChrysler and all, and this is if
you're wanting a SUV and not a sports sedan.

Personally, my wife's car would be my second car,
I guess she could choose the colour. Then again,
I ain't married yet, so this is all theoretical.

Cheers,

Dan B
