The question, "What would Santa drive if he lost his sleigh?", has been hotly debated by motorists and automotive experts for decades. This year Kelley Blue Book, a vehicle information resource, offers the following solution:
Every December Santa embarks,
On a reindeer-guided journey around the globe in the dark.
He delivers toys in his trusty red sleigh
From house to house before the light of Christmas day.
But what if there were no sleigh in which to arrive,
He'd jump in a car but which would he drive?
He'd need a vehicle with all the right gear
What would be on Santa's wish list this year?
Kelley Blue Book researched the latest cars
To determine which will take Santa beyond the stars.
All-wheel drive to conquer terrain with glee,
Like on the CADILLAC ESCALADE EXT
A vehicle with power and lots of "go,"
Can be found in the PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO
A vehicle with room for hauling elves with grace,
Like the CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY with Stow n' Go and cargo space
With an in-dash navigation system to guide his way
The NISSAN QUEST directs without delay
To deliver boats and ponies Santa will need to tow
Behind FORD's SUPER DUTY, Ho Ho Ho!
To land on rooftops without a tip or roll
Maybe a VOLVO XC90 with stability control
One with heated seats keeping Santa toasty and warm
Like the AUDI ALLROAD cruising through every storm
But only one vehicle in all the land
Will make this Christmas fine and grand
The LEXUS LX 470 with all this and night vision too,
To determine who's been naughty or nice, in the dark, out of view
To keep Santa singing while flying alone,
Its satellite radio offers carols in every time zone
With trimmings in leather and hardwoods throughout,
Santa rides in style without a doubt
But what color would he want as the winds whip and whirl?
It's not hard to pick when it comes in Blizzard Pearl.
Charlie Vogelheim, Kelley Blue Book's executive editor says,
"When shopping for a new car, pick out features you'll need,
and that will be the best car for you, indeed."
