Re: Happy Birthday Myxalplyx!!

Oh....my bad for not answering the question properly. She HATES the XT6 because it is ugly. I could not agree with her more. I hated it when I first saw it. Butt ugly! She hates the sliding auto seat belt and got tangled in it a couple of times. She hates the low roof line. She curses at the car and it curses back by having problems when I used to let her ride in it...rarely. Ever since I stopped letting my wife in, the problems went away. Go figure!

What is beautiful about the car is its uniqueness in styling and its stubbornly single purpose in design.....Coefficient of Drag (CoD)! I believe it had the best CoD of that time than any production car of that era. Everything from the body panels, wheels, mirros, door handles, lights, windshield wiper (single one)....EVERYTHING was made to cut through the wind.

I also like the weirdness/uniqueness of it (I am repeating myself). The dual button gauge pod around the steering wheel (Really no dash to speak of for controls), Telescoping/Tilting Steering wheel, one windshield wiper, Pnuematic Air suspension that raises and lowers with speed, Head light washers, Electric Cybrid Steering that adjusts with speed, and so on and so on. I LOVE this car!

It's the same reason why I like the SVX and it's window-n-window feature. Style, uniqueness and knowing that hardly anyone around has one. Teh Coolness! The SVX still gets the love! I can't get enough of either of them.
