That's because they don't change their style that often... I've never
understood why someone would want to buy a car that will automatically
look like an "old" car once the new model year comes along...
There are certain cars over the years whose style is such that they
will be classics... Usually these end up being sports cars, but
sometimes other cars end up in this category... If a car has style, it
will still have style 20 years from now if you can keep it in like new
condition... I seriously doubt that any Toyota/Lexus,
Nissan/Infinitly, Honda/Acura, or Kia sedans will ever be classified
as such... Of course, the CJs get classified this way...

I don't know what the knew mandate actually costs but in general diesel
is far cheaper to refine than gasoline.

Typically diesel prices go down in the summer because they are tied to home
heating oil.
