Every newly named US-made car that further embeds the inferiority complex of USDM makers. How long has the Corolla/Accord/Camry/Civic nameplate stuck around, for cars in the same basic segment with evolutionary improvements?

That mostly-blue paint job is pretty enough that I kinda wish the USPS just modernized it and used it.

Is it weird that in today’s Barrett-Jackson hyperinflated world, it’s kinda surprising this thing is only valued at $350k?

Big Saab fan, love the wagons, love the 9-5s, and most of the people bitching about how hard they are to work on or how hard parts are to come by are either ignorant or not appending the phrase “as much as any other 18 year old car”.

Go back and slap Mama.  Please.

Admittedly at some point it’ll be on the same dead-brand level of ownership as something like Nash or International. But for another 10 years or so, it’s a reasonable daily driver (increasingly less reasonable as time goes by of course).

I think of all the 90s beigemobiles, this one probably has the handsomest lines.  I think it aged ok.

See, this makes sense. At this point, where even the youngest car you could buy from the brand is 7 years old and at least 50-60k in miles, the buyer pool is either “brand enthusiasts” or “bargain shoppers”.  It’s completely understandable to walk away.

They’re no worse than any other 14 year old Euro car, and the parts run from on par to slightly cheaper.

They also wanted the weirdest random weak points ever (fuel level sensor, rear window pulleys, plastic coating on the center console), weird gearing that is meh off the line but absolutely flawless pick-your-spot-and-scoot-there on the freeway, fantastic seats and a resale value that leaves it a very tiny…

What a damn good story, Alanis.  Thank you.

Any hope whatsoever of a bump for the Fiat?

Put your money where your mouth is, Jalopnik.  Write an article listing the shitheads.

NASCAR fans almost unanimously despise this motherfucker.  If it takes some personal mess to get him gone, I’m ok with it.  Go drink away the rest of your inheritance on a yacht after selling the series to someone who can run it.

It was tried in a different comics universe.

God I’d love to see a picture of thing drifting with those (hopefully empty) car seats in the back
