Well the Torrent would be for me. My mom is looking to trade in her Sebring as well as they have a bad feeling about it. As stated above, all of the '06's are gone so we would have to order a '07 which would be in by March-May. I like the Theta twins is because there crossovers so there car based instead of the truck based, body on frame design.


If you are looking at a Crossover, the Freestyle is a good one to check out. The chassis was design by volvo so it has a very smooth ride and excellent safety ratings. The CVT provides car-like fuel economy will being able to deliver more power to the drive train than a regular automatic as it has an adjustable power band. Although many people think that the 205hp engine doesn't have enough power. I think the Freestyle is fast enough to pull out in front of heavy traffic no problem.

I heard that the '07 Freestyle will be coming with a more powerful engine at I think 250hp, I can't remember exactly the number, but it was a big increase.
