Bill:  Your San Francisco hill story has more to do with having a
standard transmission instead of an automatic than it does about having
a turbo instead of a supercharger.  If I had to live in San Fran (and I
visit fairly often), my daily driver wouldn't be a heavy car with a
standard.  It would be something automatic.  Same for bumper to bumper
commutes anywhere.  The S-car was not developed to service that need.
Or at least not a std. trans S-car (they had autos in Europe, even on
the 20vt).

I don't think your arguement holds.  Regardless, rather than continuing
to bad mouth the S-car, you should probably just sell it, and get
something with a sport-matic/ tiptronic/manumatic.  Everyone will be
happier, even your favorite chick.
