I already have stickers! I will donate them to those in greatest "need". But I'm in.
I'm scared....what if I don't like the car?

With the same reservations as others, I don't mind getting first look (or second).

Yay!

We could use some more Canadians. (Yes, a hint.) Europeans and Americans still welcome with open arms. (Americans may be a little bit disappointed when they get the whole story, though hope springs eternal.)

Fear not! I still like the Mirage's superior efficient design specs, but what this competitor announced today is pretty remarkable. I don't want to over-sell it.

That amount of hinting should be enough for anyone to figure this out in a few minutes with your favourite search motor.

OOOO...I found out about this the other day when I was on a certain American, er...Japanese...no wait Chinese? auto manufacturer's website. Honestly, I think it looks 1000X better than the Mirage, going by looks alone of course.

lots of lookers...

there will be lots to see my stickers. i drive the interstate. might give them the reason why i drive so sensible. the car on the other hand, i am interested. mine won't last forever and will need to replaced eventually although it looks like i won't have the option to buy after all.

I'd be happy to!

(I used to wonder, when a new magazine or newspaper launched, where the letters on the first issue's letters page came from?

^ Funny, that.

You'll be familiar with the current car, too, Mark.

3rd shift filling up! Thanks, guys.
