not sure what she's into but the RX has to be one of the least exciting cars to drive. We are getting a Mini Countryman S all4. Test drove one this past week and OMG what a fun car! very quick, sounds good, and handles like a formula 1 car.
THis exact one.

Yup, and when its in sport mode it has an over boost feature. I drove the FWD model and 50mph on the freeway if you floor it the front wheels break loose!!!

Well in 07' we bought the armada new as our "shop vehicle" and a tax write off *cough* almost $60k with options*cough*. ive been bouncing around from smaller cheaper cars OLD subaru's mainly buying, fixing issues, reselling for a small profit basically to keep my 911 (after everything ive gone through for the past 6 years to get it i dont think there is anything that can make me get rid of it). Her thinking is that were not going to need two vehicles with horrible mpg's so might as well get a truck because itll serve multiple uses now that we have a house also (what ive been trying to tell her).

weve actually looked at a few mini's and they are just to small for what we are looking for. the 911 serves as our "fun" autox, canyon, relax (when not working on it) car.

When I read the title of this thread I was thinking maybe she popped out of a cake wearing a whipped cream bikini or something.
