A nice variant on your usual article style, Pritch!  Nice.

This actually paints a decent picture for the 200  :o  I'm surprised that there aren't more issues with it, like the Wrangler's "death" wobble.  I guess most of the hatred came from this lil' guy's looks.  ...and no trunk space with the top down.

Wrangler Unlimited gets my vote for best family convertible!

I know that the focus is used cars, but it is still a little shocking that Buick won't be shipping the Cascada here. I mean, if it is ok for sale in the States, is it that much harder to bring it here?

200's are alright when you consider the purpose, price, and space... drivability is not it's strength. but that goes for everything i guess, it is all a compromise.

jeep for sure, especially the unlimited

was at jeep dealership yesterday while waiting for my car, and they are so expensive, it's crazy...


a patriot with cloth seats and manual crank windows were like ...28 k or something. 

wranger they had on showroom floor was 36+

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

patriots aren't expensive.... just delivered a 4x4 for 21400... probably the same car actually... i think that's a steal (5k off list on patriots now, plus discounts)...

wranglers start at 21995 base.... can get all the way to 50 with crazy packages on a rubicon unlimited x package. get what you pay for, but they are the cheapest convertible in canada... just also happen to be a kick ass 4x4 standard as well.
