Today is her last day at her job, and we've got so many events coming up in the next month that the new car has taken a bit of a back seat, which happens to be one of our requirements. It keeps coming up randomly in conversation, though. At this point she's decided to sacrifice on the car for something that's cheaper and more economical (more saving and spending $$$ is always good). We are thinking a $250 lease payment on something around $25K would be ideal. Of course, the accountant is way more fiscally responsible, as everything I suggest hits 30-35K with options and quickly becomes a $400-500 monthly payment. The Acura ILX recently caught her eye, and I had never heard of it. Seems a bit weak imo, but the styling isn't bad, Acura's aren't too bad, and the base model will still be a little more premium than a Honda or something. Any input is always welcome.

my local honda dealer priced one out for me a while back and came cheaper than a FitSport. lol especially the lease was a great deal. one of the staff at work wanted to get one and had me talk to the usual sales guy at honda. |

Sounds like I probably would have been scowling at the idiot for his driving when I passed him. I tend to give people this whenever I see unsafe or rude maneuvers. I notice that most people are scowling when they drive (or at least look somewhat unhappy). In that light, I have made a conscious decision to listen to more comedy (FM 102.7 in ATX) so that I'm almost always smiling and even laughing heartily on occasion when people see me driving.
