I hate the overreaching of government in our lives. The EPA goes too far. If the EPA had its way every living thing would pay penalties for every fart produced as it adds to global warming.

Mr. Ballaban,

Neutral:

How is the design different? It looks like a birth defect of a ford Fusion and a Mazda 6....

Your idea of bargain pricing and what is the common man’s reality are very far appart. Most people strugle to afford a 15 year old Buick sedan at $2500 let alone a 2017 economy car at $15 grand...

The counter axiom:

Pointless? Depending strongly on your point of view, if it is more than basic transportation of four wheels, four doors, four cylinders, and four gears the it’s pointless to somebody...

1999 Buick LeSabre. Quiet, comfortable, relatively well apointed, decent stereo, cheap as hell...

MB 4MATIC WINS!!!!

From my travels to europe and talking with many people about their favored mode of transportation, it seemed to me to be that Opel was the car to buy when you couldn’t afford anything better... They were extremely boring and barely adequate. Kind of like the way we look at a Toyota Corrola....

For the Yugo Fans...

Miss them? Not if they kept on making cars like this one... or the K-car... or the PT Cruiser... or....

Dodge Caravan AWD... cavernous interior, go anywhere attitude, AWD, and fuel efficient. ... and damn cheap.

And the Jeep was a rebadged Austin design built by Ford, Willys Overland, and countless others... So what?

This is stupid propoganda. Spy ships are ALWAYS off our coast. As a former submarine sailor, we saw a spy ship (thinly disguised fishing vessel with more antenna than nets) every time we pulled out of the sub base at Kings Bay Georgia. That was a30 years ago now. So What.

Easy LS swap candidate....

Anecdotally, we hear at Jalopnik would know – our union is great.

Failure is relative. The devices may have not stod the test of time but they did make money. Profits were not like X-box crazy numbers but they made money.

The ultimate vehicle:
