Hey Obama bashers: those pics are replacements for Mormon Suburban wagons! Better not vote for Romney!- Besides I want affordable health care so I can spend more on fuel

Re: The new Sportsmobile

Regardless of who wins, I'd bet a lot that the SMB of the future will be powered by CNG.

It will probably get an MPG equivalent of 20-30 and cost $1.5-$2 per gallon to fill. For that, we can thank greedy energy producers and market incentives.

The new Sportsmobile

All I can say is VOTE for the candidate of your choice. If you do not vote do not complain about the result.

Re: The new Sportsmobile

Looks like some of the Nissan design engineers have moved over to Toyota
