Most Liberal/Progressive car models? I vote Subaru Outback/Legacy!

[JanMichael]

Not the car but the people who drive them!

How many Bush/Satan stickers have you seen on an Outback? Zip for me BUT I've seen plenty of Sierra Club and other pro-environment and progessive bumper stickers. Plenty of kayaks too.

What are your picks?

Maybe the Honda Hybrid?

VW Beetle (I think it's been yuppified)?

1. Any Subaru

I love my 21 year old 1600DL with 214K miles on it.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

2. Here my list (by observation):

Subaru Legacy
Subaru Outback
Toyota Pirus
Toyota Corrolla
Honda Civic Coupe

On a side note, I saw an older Subaru Wagon (1990 or so) with a
bumper sticker that said: "Real Americans Buy American"

How funny/stupid is that???

"S.U.V: SATAN'S USAMA VEHICLE"


:kick:

[JanMichael]

3. "Real Americans Buy American"?! Ouch.

Maybe it was a clever joke?

...Prolly not...

[PROGRESSIVE1]

6. Just so you know it had an old "Dole/Kemp 1996" bumper sticker

on it too!


:eyes:

4. Heh.

We're on our second Outback wagon (the first one got crunched by a Volvo wagon) with

• FANG 2 license plate (it's white)
  
• Dean for President bumper sticker
  
• Kill your Television bumper sticker
  
• "The media are only as liberal as the conservative businesses that own them" bumper sticker
  

[JanMichael]

9. We just got an Outback!

People just swear by them! It's our first and I suspect not the last.

So far I love the thing.

[matcom]

5. SATURNS!

Saturns are economically efficient (if there IS such a thing with today's cars).

My wife LOVES hers and (hopefully) it will run forever

[tjdee]

7. All wheel drive, baby!

When I get a new car, I'm all about the Subaru...or, that mini cooper, LOL....

[chadm]

8. Any Hybrid

My guess is that most cars will be hybrid within 5 years.

[4_Legs_Good]

10. HONDA INSIGHT

Like mine!!!

But, some people buy hybrids for more practical or more "I hate OPEC" reasons too.

Any other Insight or other Hybrid drivers here? We also have a hybrid Civic. They both rock!

12. Oh, Brother........

(give me a break..... everybody has them in Colorado!)

[Character Assassin]

13. Oh, you must mean the lesbian state

Sorry, couldn't resist. ;-)

[JanMichael]

14. Thank "something" I'm comfortable with my manhood!

If not I'd have to be a pussy and sell it.

[jburton]

15. Hmmm

In no particular order:

VW Golf (espesh the ones with the 55mpg eco-diesel)
Saturn
Old Volvos (not the new ones-sorry!)

[SiobhanClancy]

16. Rolls Royce Silver Seraph

:)

[LWolf]

17. subaru is good, but pricey.

Harder for the less affluent liberals. My mom has the little economy model. I love it. She got it used, and it's been great.

Any hybrid.

I used to think Honda, buy my son's civic has had many problems. I want reliability and to spend my scarce resources elsewhere.

And definitely toyota....any car with decent mileage that will go 200 -300K on minimal maintenance/repair is a good use of resources. I get to actually go a decade in between car payments.

[JanMichael]

18. My more financially savvy SO bought a mint 1998.

I hate car payments.

Your post reminded me of MY vehicle! The Nissan SE Pickup is a freakin' monster when it comes to durablity. My 94' runs like new.

[LWolf]

20. Yup.

My yoda pickup is a 94. Named "Homer," 'cause it always gets me home. Just turned 200,000 and still running as well as ever. I replaced the clutch for the first time this summer. I take it 2000 miles round trip a couple of times a year to visit my mom.

The previous incarnation, a 79 toyota pu, did 350,000 before my youngest ran it into a wall and bent the frame. So his uncle took the engine out and is still using it to run equipment at his boatyard. That was about 5 years ago.

[mkregel]

19. Prius, or Honda Civic Hybrid

n/t

[NaMeaHou]

21. Yugos

They strove for democracy, and by god, they got it.
The makers of the auto, that is, not the US purchasers.

[JanMichael]

22. You've just made a most interesting comment.

I didn't expect that from this thread but damned if I'm not intrigued!
