Yes, dealers need to think about retaining customers.

Do some of those have appearance kits? The first grey vehicle looks different in the front.

The Nappa leather is smooth and soft. I actually worry that it is too soft!

Except that the numbers back it up, especially with the new Ford/GM 10 speeds. Beastly!

I pray every day my cx5 is stolen and stripped or totalled.
