@muhnkee_2: The stump pulling rate will surely rise.

I like. Whereas I do not like the new Mazda3.

@engineerd thinks cannoli is deserving of a star: With Ford posting a 48% decline, it will take a while. Nonetheless. 48 sounds a hell of a lot better then 53. GM has sold less then half as much as they did at this time last year. Thats incredibly bad.

It looks a lot like that Chrysler concept.

I am super surprised.

Not surprised actually. What kills me, is this news won't get any press. None. Nothing in comparison to the bad rep GM/Chrysler are getting right now from the daily barrage of negative-vibe news about the bailout over here.

Wait. A new truck that can do, uh, truck things like pulling out stumps? Woah! Now that might just be a new truck I'd consider buying.

As boring as it might be to most, I really don't think it is. I mean. Compare that funky look to the Chevy Volt or Toyota Prius. That Magna Steyr thing looks like something Honda might build.

Good things are possible. Perhaps, Mitsubishi will be the company to make an electric vehicle that is somewhat normal and/or fun to drive.

@Pelm, driving across La Belle Province all year round!: I do, but not often. Bad habit of mine using that particular car as an example for most situations. Thing is, I always got Tempo on the brain.

@engineerd: Don't forget the Ford F-150 can tow more AND get better gas mileage then a Toyota Tundra! Its not all that hard to be better then the blandness and smugness of Japanese automakers.

@Ford Tempo Fanatic: Damn me and my spelling and grammar errors. Too tired to type coherently.

I love RWD. But its no fun in the winter. I've actually "raced" a Mazda RX-8 with my '89 Ford Tempo, and one just because the Mazda sat there spinning its rear tires on ice while the Tempo's all wheel drive and studded Goodyear's got it moving with ease.

@elwood: I really don't know. It made sense when it came to my mind.

@Syrax: I have one of those things. In that same color. With Pokemon stickers all over it..

Track: 1958 Plymouth Fury

Well their advertisements weren't all that great anyway.

@Alfisted: Ford F-Series is still the best selling vehicle.

@bzr used the word carpocalypse on a college paper: I heart-click you too. Jalopnik rocks because its the first blog or forum I've been to that doesn't use profane words to describe my obsession with Ford Tempo.
