I thought the general consenses was that big rig truckers didn't like it, I sure don't. I can see it being a fad vehicle if anything, selling descent in its first year or two but then no more buyers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 5th 2008 8:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Build your own big rig: International launches configurator for LoneStar]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/04/build-your-own-big-rig-international-launches-configurator-for/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/04/build-your-own-big-rig-international-launches-configurator-for/</guid><description><![CDATA[The styling is polarizing, but I'm in "likes" corner.

Right now I would bet mpg is the number one thing on their list. With fuel prices at the levels they are I don't think independent truckers care what style their truck is rather what can they do to make it get better mileage. This is a bad time to come out with a bling bling truck. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 4th 2008 10:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Build your own big rig: International launches configurator for LoneStar]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/04/build-your-own-big-rig-international-launches-configurator-for/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/04/build-your-own-big-rig-international-launches-configurator-for/</guid><description><![CDATA[My dad is an independent trucker, and believe me, both style and mileage matters. Three years ago, I would say that style mattered more than mileage, but with what price of diesel now that has flip flopped. But don't lie to yourself, style still matters to these guys. <br><br>On top of that, the new Lonestar was developed with aerodynamics in mind. Despite its swanky looks, it'll still be one of the most efficient trucks on the road. Depending on the engine, of course.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scotty]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 4th 2008 11:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Build your own big rig: International launches configurator for LoneStar]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/04/build-your-own-big-rig-international-launches-configurator-for/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/04/build-your-own-big-rig-international-launches-configurator-for/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hot truck!
