Meh.... it does nothing for me. But I've NEVER been a 4 door sedan kind of guy.

To me as much as I've been a car guy all my life I also use my vehicles they way they were intended and also how they fit into my lifestyle. Meaning this:

I have my 68 Firebird as a weekend cruiser. I take it to some local car shows/ cruise nights with my car buddies. I take it out on sunny Saturday or Sunday afternoons for cruises and occaisonally take the family out in it to get ice cream on a nice summer night. It's a weekend toy. I don't drive it to work, I don't take it anywhere I can't see it suck as the movies, or out to a restaraunt where it's parked unseen in a crowded parking lot for some soccer mom to ding it with her mini-van's door.

Then there's my daily driver my 02 4 Runner. It's a Toyota and granted there are guys on here who will bash me for owning a Toyota but I know that with regular maintenance it will last 300K miles easily. I only live 8-10 miles from work so it keeps the mileage low. I currently have just over 85K miles on it and like I said, 3.4 liter 4 Runners can hit 300K easily so it will be with me a LONG time. For me with my lifestyle, I NEED a 4WD SUV. I own a small vacation home in the Pocono Mts of PA. We go up there in the winter for skiing and I need the 4WD. I'm up there a lot in the summer too, I also have a small 14' aluminum bass fishing boat that I drop in any one of the 3-4 lakes near my vacation home. I NEED a 4WD SUV type vehicle to drop my boat into these lakes. 2 of those lakes are down dirt roads where 4WD is pretty mandatory. Plus several of these lakes are shallow enough that I have to back pretty far into the lake to get the boat to float off the trailer and again 4WD is mandatory. You're not dropping a fishing boat into a lake with that car, trust me.

So a 4 door RWD sedan just doesn't work for my kind of lifestyle. But on top of that it's just not my thing.
