A friend has one. It is an unmitigated piece of s**t that he can’t sell or get repaired. CP all day long.

The Acura is a great choice. This generation’s design is my favorite TL.

Some of it is due to location and routes.

I am the proud, unabashed owner of a 2019 Ford Fusion Energi titanium... though maybe a little less so after the article and comments, lol.

I recently saw one street parked in NYC (lower Manhattan). It was near a construction site and somebody had thrown a construction safety vest on the dash to (maybe) get mercy from parking attendants. I wondered what what end of the construction lifecycle this person was on...

‘57 DeSoto Diplomat spotted back in 2017, out of the blue near Paris, France

I just bought the V90 CC this spring and wouldn’t trade it for an Audi if they took $20K off the price. I don’t trust Audi can make a car that’s reliable past 75K miles. Plus, they look like Volkswagens. Nothing wrong with that, but if I wanted that I’d just buy the VW.

You lost me at Andromeda. That game is good, people need to stop smoking crack before they play it. And 3 was great too, only the first ending sucked and they changed it anyway. This game does blow, and I didn't like dragon age of fetchquest but Andromeda was great if you actually play it. Would've loved some dlc or…

When you’re so rich and you can have Rolls Royce do whatever you want, it really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks is tacky.

They key is he registered it in VT, then quickly left the state.

VT is just like Maine - the only thing they care about with older cars is the money. Pay the nice ladies at town hall, and they really could not care less what the car is or who you are. The town keeps the excise tax, you see.

Yeah that's a long history of failure then. Over 100 years. 

Yup. It was a full time system that actually worked reliably. 

Indeed. It was more inline with the “upscale” market for the truck. My father-in-law had a fully loaded GMT330 version for about 3 years and it was actually pretty smooth compared a similar 4wd S10 Blazer I drove at the time. I also think the GMT360 version of the Bravada was a very good looking version of that…

I wish Alfa has some level of reliability. I started actively getting into cars shortly before their recent return and fell in love with their design. Unfortunately, I'll never be able to justify one without having a second car for the 2/3 of the year the Alfa won't run. Hard to accept a luxury price tag for a car I…

I’m planning on doing this with a ZAZ 968A. 

To be fair the bravada did have a Smart Trak AWD system instead of the more conventional 4x4 system of chevy and GMC’s.  But the statement is still a stretch.

Yet I’ve owned three early ‘90s Alfas — a ‘95Q and two S4 Spiders — and all were (and are in one case) rock solid. The 24V Q was a much much more complex car than the 4cyl Spiders, but they all ran with Bosch Motronic so were perfectly reliable, with the engines being bullet proof (though the Busso V6 24V needs 30-35K…

True, but at least it’s not too difficult with these 12V engines. The 24V engines on the other hand...

Longevity? What do you know? I sold a 24V 164Q with over 100k miles that still drove and looked like new. Only major work it had done was a valve job at 89k miles and new struts at 98K. Other Alfas I’ve owned have easily gone past 100k with no sign of quitting when I let them go (because I get an itch for something…
