Oh how the turn tables, Henry.

Bracket racing is a form of drag racing that allows for a handicap between predicted elapsed time of the two cars over a standard distance, typically within the three standard distances (1/8 mile, 1,000 foot, or 1/4 mile) of drag racing.

You’re welcome. BTW, I didn’t claim NOT to be a pedant... full disclosure.

GAS HOG. Just wait till prices approach $4/gal again. It will happen!

Been saying this for years, and I share your exact sentiment: FOOLS! Know someone with a gigantic Benz GL tank SUV and it’s such a cramped space and doesn’t hold anywhere near the same cargo as a bare bones Dodge Caravan.  Not to mention 10x easier ingress/egress on the van. Fools!!

I know, a low-rent MB screams, car-poor lease that needs to impress people, but is also delusional that people will actually be impressed.

yeah it sounds kind of cool to just tell the car to change the temp or open a sunroof but do you really want your car to record your conversations? (and that’s what it will be doing, let’s not kid ourselves).

Not only were they VW rabbit shaped...some had VW rabbit engines.

Bingo.

Not in my area... no one will compare these two.

You get the GTI because you wanted a GTI and you got the Merc because you can’t let Nancy at work have a nicer badge than you.

The Autobahn is $37k and the Golf R is $41k. Why would anyone buy an Autobahn over the Golf R?

Most of that list has already ran longer than a new Blazer will.

I would take any one of those you listed over the new Blazer/Trailblazer, no question.

Yea, no.  It was a great vehicle, actually outsold the Explorer which was the top selling SUV at the time...and also keep in mind how many Trailblazers you still see on the road today as compared to explorers of the same era.  GM galvanized their panels and those cars last.  Those Explorers have all returned to the…

Please stop this onslaught. Its getting out of hand with this in between in between shit: The new Trailblazer will slot between the stubby Trax and the Popular But Not Particularly Exciting Equinox,  

This makes me miss my pinzgauer.  All of the things a defender is, it multiplies them 10x.  I still loved it.

I own an 1989 Defender 110 that I imported & restored from the UK. Its, slow, noisy, bouncy, the heater barely works and It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

I think this compares best to the turbo 4 Stinger (which is my daily driver). That being said, looking this over, I’d rather have my Stinger (plus the turbo 4 Stinger is less expensive).

Once upon a time, Nissan was spoken in the same breath as Honda and Toyota, playin the role of Chrysler in the Japanese Big Three. Those days are gone, and not coming back given the state of the automotive world.
