Of course, you have to define 'fun' carefully to make that last statement.

Nashton
I imagine he means something you can throw around in a corner and hang by the edge of your seat.

Lloyd E Parsons
That's one way to describe some fun for sure. I wouldn't find it all that much fun these days.

I find the Verano to be lots of fun to drive. Yeah, I wouldn't want to road rally or go on a course with it, but still fun, but comfortable, quiet fun.

Nashton
Really, Lloyd. if you find stepping on a gas pedal and going forward fun, there is really nothing more to say.

Lloyd E Parsons
Or you driving your big ass station wagon around and trying to pass it off as some sort of performance vehicle, since that leaves you out in the rain so to speak.

Ouch. That must've hurt.

Particularly since that comment was made before this came to light:

Lloyd's Buick vs Nasty's Audi in Edmunds' slalom course (faster = better handling):

Buick Verano: 65.7mph: <http://www.edmunds.com/buick/verano/2013/road-test.html>

Audi Q7: 59.3mph: <http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/track-tests/track-tested-2011-audi-q7-30t-supercharged.html>

Let the excuses begin! :-)
