Hey, I didn't really have any plans this evening and wanted to shirk responsibility for a bit, so I took a late night drive to see what was at the local dealerships and thought I'd share.
First, I saw the new Mini! They're pretty cool, I thought, and some had the roof painted in a checkered flag pattern. I tried the door on one, found it was open, so I took a look inside. It's very roomy for such a small car, and the design is a bit funky.
For one, instead of a typical dash, there is a very large, round tach right abovh the steering wheel. The speedometer, also very large, is mounted in the center of the dash. The unlocked one was an automatic, though, so the main stress on the tach seemed a bit absurd. It has a nice, sports steering wheel, too.
Also while I was driving around, I saw three, three(!) used S2000s in dealer lots. I'm guessing some people who went through the hoops to actually get one (and most likely got gouged by the dealer) are having to take them back. I mean, I think I saw more at the dealers than I ever have on the roads. Anyway, the two that had prices marked were still near the car's list price. But one was "red tagged" at about $29,800. Indy Yellow. Too bad I didn't see a black one. (There was a used black RSX, though, That thing just came out!)
I also saw a lot of Z3s in the lots, and quite a few Miatas.
That's it. Not an earth-shattering post, but I thought someone may have an interest. If not, you already read it, so it's too late now.
