If you're trying to have a go at me for having a small brain, first you should consider writing out your post in full rather than dropping text speak in there. Second, I'm vomiting up the opinion of all too many a company car driver, not my own - hence "that's the spirit of it." On the fleet I managed, people would whine about the colour, minute detail of the specification and this wonderstuff called "image." I was led to believe that a Mondeo saloon was something completely different to a Mondeo hatchback, because it was so much stiffer, therefore handled loads better, oh and it looked better too. "Okay, like, whatever" was my usual response to such idiots. Unfortunately, people have this belief that somehow driving a saloon makes the car "better" or less utiliatian than otherwise. Me, personally? I prefer a hatchback, I can deal with a saloon. All bar one of my cars have been hatchbacks and the current (2000 9-3 diesel) is a hatchback. > Hatchbacks look smarter to me anyway.

If you prefer the look, that is. -- The DervMan www.dervman.com
