It's mixed. I know in my high school, and most/every surrounding town, the new/newer cars outnumbered the "beaters" by a large, large, large majority. The beauty of monthly payments/leases/what-have-you.


I wouldn't purchase a SS right now, as I do ~3,000 miles a month between home/work/girlfriend, so I'm riding my old 4-cylinder econobox for everything it's got, and taking advantage of the MPG savings. However, I do love the G8, and am encouraging my brother to purchase one in a few years. But, that's because I've seen the car in person & like it. I've yet to see the SS in person, but if it delivers, then that makes the decision a lot harder.

If my commute was shorter and easier on the pocket, then a 4-door GM vehicle that offers a balance of comfort, performance and class would definitely in the running.
