One was a little chihuahua, this little guy would bark at everything that moved, he would confront dogs bigger than him and then quickly run behind our legs and hide as these other dogs approached. He was a little dog that would purposely want to be heard because obviously he was insecure about his size and position. \r\n\r\nOur second dog was a German Shepard, large, confident and would never bark ever, unless he knew trouble was imminent or was protecting the family. He had a silent but strong demeanor about him self, when he perked up it was for a reason. He would confidently walk up to strangers and allow them to pet or approach us. He was a loyal, strong, silent and courageous dog. I loved that dog. \r\n\r\nOne day I came home from school and found out that the chihuahua had been donated to another family because my parents and my neighbors could no longer tolerate the unnecessary yelping, barking, and noise that he would make. \r\n\r\nMy point is... that in life, just like on this community I have realized that the small dogs always have to have something to say. They tend to make remarks and ask questions and have no history of ever buying or selling a car. They simply want to be heard. They yelp, bark and crave attention to prove their knowledge. The big dogs that step up and wire us money immediately are silent, they make their move and don\u2019t say much else. The big dogs have a confidence about them and it is evident. \r\n\r\nIf you want to come into my auction and scream FIRE, then that\u2019s your provocative but I challenge you to go through our history of sales and find one dissatisfied client. And we\u2019ve sold some pretty heavy cars.

Sun visors are leather too. Not knocking this sport interior but in my search, this just felt like the \"right\" interior setup for this luxury, sport sedan. Another feature, I didn't see pointed out is the rear folding seats. They are a touch less comfortable than the fixed back seats but make up for it in utility, for example, weekend errands like grabbing some long screens at the hardware store, which would not have fit in the trunk.\r\n\r\nThese cars carry much hype but they definitely back it up and ALWAYS leave their drivers with an ear to ear grin.
