Objections to the 2005 Ford Mustang:

AutoSite's Advice:
Yeah, this car rocks. However, if you want one anytime soon, plan to pay a significant premium. Dealers have long waiting lists ... this point, and we expect this car to sell itself........................................... least a year or more. Don't expect dealer discounts, don't expect rebates, and don't expect your salesperson to bend ... backwards to sell you the car, because the next guy walking ... the door will pay what the dealer wants.

Volkswagen Passat
Featuring a 2.0T or 3.6L engine with fuel-stratified injection, the new Passat is engineered to be even more fun to drive. And it's got plenty of not-so-standard features. 120 of them to be precise.
Toyota Corolla
2005 Toyota Corolla is among the best of the compact sedans: reliable and economical yet refined and comfortable. The 2005 Corolla line sees the addition of a sporty new XRS model, while the entire line gets some enhancements. All 2005 Corollas feature a restyled front fascia and redesigned tail lamps.
Honda Civic Sedan
Big satisfaction in a small package.
Efficient, practical, affordable, polished and pleasant to drive, if not downright fun, with a reputation for reliability: These are the Honda Civic's hallmarks, and nothing about the 2005 model suggests anything has changed.
20. Write your own car advertisement. Include all necessary details.

DRIVING IN THE CITY
Mr. Dawson: How did you get here, Gabriel?
Gabriel: By car. You know, I drive, don't you?
Mr. Dawson: Oh, good. Do you find it difficult to drive in New York?
There's lots of traffic here.
Gabriel: Yes, but I'm accustomed to it now. I used to feel nervous
at first and was always afraid that someone was going to bump into me, but I've got over that now. I try not to drive in Manhattan though.
Mr. Dawson: Me neither. How do you find driving here compared with
driving in Europe?
Gabriel: It is practically the same. Of course, at first it seems more
difficult because of the traffic, but when you get used to it, it's all right. And if you go out of the city, you fell so relaxed at the wheel.
Mr. Dawson: What do you mean?
Gabriel: As soon as you leave the city and go north, for example,
you see almost no traffic at all. And the roads are good and well marked. And drivers are so polite.
Mr. Dawson: Have you been in an accident while you have been driving?
Gabriel: No, at least so far.

Mr. Dawson: Oh, good. I've been in a couple of accidents myself, but
they were not serious, thanks God, so I won't tell you about them. Let go to the dinning room. The dinner is ready.
