Default Thinking of getting a couple of cars. - 08-25-2005, 08:54 PM
Well, I partially own a spanish publication in Tampa, well we are finally getting money to roll in the doors and we are thinking of getting company cars. These cars will be traded on a non comiisionable $ for $. So we give Autoway or Courtesy Cars (2 of the largest car companies in Tampa, FL) ad space in the newspaper + other crap for 3 cars.

I really wated the h3, but since gas is a killer and the h1-3 is 5mpg, and the cars will be used for distribution and promotion, my dream was crushed.

It needs to be an SUV
I was thinking Ford Explorer hybrid, or the Toyota Highlander?

Could you guys help me out.

I need a fuel efficient car, and it needs to be an SUV - or one of those vans that the phone company uses

Check out Dodge Magmum's. Stunning station wagon body style. Screaming performance and good gas mileage. Or you could get a HEMI.

Looking at a Time Magazine right now, it has a review on a three types of cars, and the most fuel efficient, money saving vehicle is the Ford Explorer Hybrid. Get it. rock:

The Dodge wagon is a good idea, I need a pick-up or SUV cause of distribution of the newspaper. Also we are putting those body wraps on them, with all the crap about our company.

I was thinking of getting one of these

but the newer model. However this is a car that I will probably drive myself everywhere so I don't want to go on a date on that beast.[/img]
