We've made some improvements over in the new cars section. You can now view the cars by year and by make.

Also, we've heard the constructive criticism about price not being adequately factored in the rankings, so we've created a new "Bang for the Buck" index. Using a highly sophisticated formula at least as complex as Colonel Sanders chicken recipe, we've given each car a Bang for the Buck score. So now you dorks have something new to argue about.

Oops. And if a boy can dream, I'd love to see more reader comments in there.

Cool, my life is complete.

Good call on the Tahoe! Maybe you need a smug index so it can score good with all the ridiculous HYBRID stickers all over it!

P.S. I'm a dork (see above) so I am allowed to argue.

Me too. More user ratings, too. I think it'd be interesting to see how the community's ratings compare to ours.

So go rock the vote. It's what Billy Idol would want you to do.

It's not in the database. Looks like it never saved. Maybe an error with the form submission?

Both people who bought one. It was a good deal for Subaru, though. They picked up the Pacifica noses cheap.

I officially name this thread Lazarus . . .

Until my post, I could see nothing that would have allowed it to rise from the dead.
