No apology necessary. I didn't find anything you said to be harsh. I get that she likes Jeeps and the idea of a topless Jeep with the doors off and the wind blowing through her hair is appealing. But I haven't forgotten that she hates bugs, doesn't like her hair to get messed, has allergies to everything in nature, and doesn't like any sort of physical discomfort. I'm buying the Mazda CX5 this week. And as far as being financially fuel strapped it's the farthest thing from my reasoning. My 911 gets about 17mpg(premium fuel), the Raptor 12mpg(lots of fuel!) on a good day, and the Tacoma was in the middle at 14mpg. Once she saw all the creature comforts in the Mazda she was convinced. Crazy but true I really liked it. For 30k it's a really nice little SUV.

That's awesome that you finally found something you both can agree on....roll i brother! Cheers!

Thank you sir.

So I am a very picky person and take a loooong time to make a decision about what car/truck to buy. I ended up going with a Mazda 3 Grand Touring S hatchback. It's a far cry from a Jeep or another Raptor but since I'm not the one driving it I bought what She liked. For the money it's a great little car. It has a bunch of options that I don't even have on the Raptor and it was under $24k after working with the sales guy. Sticker was $28287. Glad the car shopping is done for a few years. Now I can focus on buying the KTM RC8R I've had my eye on

My wife drives an edge sport. She loves it. Even more than the envoque or the srx. Never mind, see you already made up your mind. =)

That RC8 gives me a woody. I have been drooling/contemplating and S1000RR for a while now but love the KTM.

I will be anxiously awaiting your product review.

I've almost pulled the trigger twice...2013 and now 14. It's about time I stopped procrastinating!
