the shares went to fund healthcare obligations for retirees, converting $50 billion of liabilities into equity.

this ignition problem goes back to 2003, when the Presidency & the House were controlled by Republicans.

this happened once in my Subaru, on the BQE. the dashboard, headlights and radio went dark, and the steering froze up. thankfully I was on a straight section of the road.

The American Yaris has an ancient engine and transmission, despite the redesign. It was outclassed as soon as it hit the market. Nissan at least recognized this with the Versa, and priced it accordingly.

Are you sure that the Aygo only has one engine choice? The Peugeot 108 has three. the 1.0, a 1.0-eVTi (whatever that is) and a 1.2

Minis may be overpriced to buy new, but reasonable to lease.

the Jeep brand image was already ruined by the 2005 Grand Cherokee and the first-gen Compass. The second-gen Liberty was a piece of shit too.

that's actually very good news for its off-road credentials.

The Skoda Superb was supposed to be a stripped Passat, but is actually better and cheaper (at least Topgear says so)

A base Dodge Caravan is $72.08

Keep it weird, but fix the massive blind spots!

My grandfather had one of these when he lived in Brooklyn. My mom learned to drive with the car.

My dad recently traded up one. Originally he went to the dealer intending to trade in his Wrangler as a down payment on an LR2; and ended up trading in both his Wrangler & Corvette for the Sport. It is that good.

Here: used Legacy outback, manual(!) all the new parts it needs are ones that you would need to upgrade anyway http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/cto/433787…

Around NYC, a Forester or Legacy would be your best bet for a deal.

the GT86's lack of fuel efficiency, relative to performance & price, is dooming it in Europe

what you are missing is Senator Corker from Tennessee, who threatened to have VW's state tax subsidies removed if the UAW won the vote.

I had a 308 for a roadtrip in France (Normandy). It was an e-HDI with the EGC transmission. For the motorways, it was good (over 50 mpg US and passing power) But once I hit a back road....ugh! and what an ugly car in person.

The story is about Japan, which doesn't have a 401k system. Japanese workers at Toyota still have corporate pensions (in addition to government pensions). Imagine that?
