  Thanks for the replies...  I'm curious about that Smart Money note--
I'll have to take a look.  Consumer Reports' reporter did note that
you could haggle in one sense-- the "I don't want this option [that
was on the car in the lot-- in this case a spoiler] so I'm not paying
for it..."  So they dropped the price accordingly.

  Of course I would't care about a spoiler free or otherwise... A/C,
sure. :-)

  As for Toyota-- we've got nothing against them, but everything we've
read/heard leads us to lean strongly toward Honda & Saturn.  The
former for reliability, the latter for relatively good reliability and
the no-hassle (albeit no-haggle) purchasing.

  Has anyone bought CR's auto buying guide CD-ROM?  If so, how is it?
Actually, do they still offer it? I flipped through the April issue
the other day and don't remember seeing an ad...
