It's funny you make this comparison (I lol'd) because I am sitting in a doctor's office right now playing Angry Birds. Great minds.

Good call. Thank you for the explanation. It's amazing how far we have come with building design. Sad though, because if they choose to rebuild/repair that building, it will never be the same.

I'm not sure what this picture says more about. The indestructible-ness of the Isuzu (read: Envoy/Trailblazer/insert everything else here) or the construction quality of the building in question.

Playing devil's advocate, I think those wheels would make just about any car look great. Simple, 5-spoke design and huge. The large wheels mute the strange proportions caused by the shortened wheelbase and elongated deck lid. I like the longer, more angular nose.

Still has ugly center stack (not a fan of the rounded top) and the fins? No sale for me. The interior of the Malibu I sat in was of high quality but the design is just not cohesive.

3rd: All I need is to be living in CA and have a commute that isn't 100 miles per day. Lease's always keep me from using them by limiting the miles. This would be great if it had a longer range. Range anxiety be damned.

There is exactly one of these where I live. A friend of mine bought it. It was bought used. At a large discount.

The only thought that crosses my mind when I see these is, derp.

I don't know. This link to live photos from Autoblog points me otherwise. If it is a facelift, then its rather major comparatively to the original concept. Comparing the below photos in the link to the previous concept.

You may be thinking of this:

NECN is reporting that the car has been found without the suspect inside.

This is lame. I love my Cruze Eco with the 6MT and truly believe it would be a mistake to not offer it with on. I know a lot of Eco owners who chose the 6MT for a reason.

That's what she said.

This is where I will respectfully disagree. It may not be an emergency brake on every car (though it really ought to be) However, I have had at least two incidences where my hand brake slowed my car down from a high rate of speed (not triple digits or anything. Above 40 though) to a safe point where I could get it…

Yeah. Same here in NC. Although, I really enjoyed having that "courtesy" when I had my POS cars. And I had a lot of them.

Fair enough. Still, pretty damn scary. I am concerned at why the e-brake didn't function. I know that mine have gotten out of adjustment over the years in different cars. They are mechanical after all. But damn, shouldn't you check that sort of thing once in a while?

If they traveled south for any length of time and were able to make it to I-77, Fancy Gap is about 6 or 7 miles of down hill. All the way. I-81 is pretty hilly itself with long stints of down hill travel.

Better looking than the new Quattroporte.

So happy for you, Torch!

Forgot about him. He was just weird. Wert keeps it classy.
