I invite anyone from either side of the debate to really question whether
or not this is worth arguing over. Trying to change one's opinion on a car
by throwing statistics (Chrome has higher resale value, better handling,
etc - Rubber has the Rover engine bay, yadda yadda) really won't work. If
someone is set in their ways, let them be. There's much better things to
discuss than the endless chrome vs. rubber thing.

As for me, I like chrome. I also like rubber. Rubber is more practical for
me right now. To me, a "B" is a "B"

Soapbox off.
