And if Daewoo called the Matiz a hot hatchback would it actually be one.

Have you seen bmw's m1 concept - i hope they make it
I drove an early eighties M1 back then. I repaired cars at Grand Prix Automotive in Venice, CA through high school and we had one really rich customer who owned a couple 930s and an M1....sweet v12. I remember the frickin' fuel filter cost over $200.

Like I said, it's a challenge. 
What do you have? Also, dig's kids are little so a 2+2 will work
WRX wagon. I wanted it to be functional for many things as it is our only vehicle now. I don't tow, but like the rack on top to carry plywood, drywall, bikes etc...
Plenty of room inside if I fold down the seats, and big enough rear seats for people.
It is no panacea, but for us it works now.

I saw a 4X yr old in a mx5 today followed by a SL500 sitting in a parking lot and it got me thinking... is the SL500 a chicks car? Personally I'd say it is. It's right on the line but if you see one in person it just has some femininity to it I can't really describe.
dig you can get the 7s in 2+2 configs. I totally recommend getting one, probably about the least practical car on the planet (due to various reliability problems if they're pushing north of 220hp) but tons of fun. And it's a rotary which is a huge plus in my books btw have you watched initial D? If you haven't you should, the 7s kick ass in it.

It wouldn't look feminine with me behind the wheel, I promise.

Yeah it is a subaru.
It was funny, we saved some money and my wife knew I wanted one (a wrx) so she just says. "Hey Scott why don't you buy a WRX" one day out of the blue and I was like "uuuuuuuhhhh what?"
Anyway she wanted the sedan I wanted to wagon which she thought was ugly, but then we found a decent deal on a relatively new one and it happened to be a wagon and we went for a test drive and she (and I of course) loved it and bought it.
Before that I drove a 78 corolla, and 85 corolla, and a 90 chysler minivan. And this was starting in the mid 90s so they were old cars. I did not even get the later two till around 2002.

I just sold my wrx, It was one of the saddest days of my life.
That car was so good for the money performance wise. I just loved it.
Hopefully I will have something new and neat soon, wife permitting.

I feel your pain, I went through that selling my Pathfinder. It just physically hurt to drive off and leave it at the dealership.
What happened?
(If that isn't rude)
Just to bad of gas mileage?
Anyway we bought ours outright at the beginning so I plan to keep it basically forever unless gas is like $25/gal or something.

Well I got a great trade in value on it. It was 3 years old and I traded it on a new forester (WRX only had 13k miles on it, and only had to pay 2500$ over my trade in value to get the new forry, and they threw in all the extra stuff I wanted. Mud flaps, bumper guard, ETC) to replace the wifes aging saturn which she had gotten in an accident in. I had a good bit o money saved and was looking to get a lotus.
Then my wife was discovered to have MS. So alot of the money went away. Now Im hoping to get an STI/EVO/135I or something of that ilk.
All fun cars. Just sadly not a lotus.
So through a quirk of fate, Im driving an 8 year old saturn and hating every minute of it. =/
That sucks, not the cars bit, but the MS bit.
I am personally so tired of paying through the nose for health insurance. I was paying 473 a month just to cover my wife. And we are not exactly rolling in cash ATM.

I see what crushing burden you are under now ;-)
Thats a huge chunk of change for insurance.

Not to fear! She isn't bad off, but the Medicine and initial MRI(S) were a big cost. Everything is as fine as can be expected.
But thanks guys!
Shows what a good bunch are here at B3D.
