Okay. I may get flak for this, but...

Indeed, cars without power steering take a bit more oomph to maneuver, but you get used to it. And when the engine does go kaput and the brake pump stops, you still have enough hydraulic pressure in the pedal to allow you to come to a complete stop.

In all fairness, you can't compare the weight of an MG with that of a modern car; we're talking about a 1,000 lb + difference here. Also, a classic car like an MG was designed without power steering in mind; sure, it's hard work, but you get used to it; it's natural. As you seem to have experienced it also, when the

The Fiero story always makes me sad, simply because I don't fully understand why GM came up with a genuinely-great idea and then decided to just... give up on it.

Well said. It comes down to over-hyped marketing and repeatedly making empty promises that will irritate the fuck out of buyers; especially when we're talking about a car that doesn't know what it is in the first place.

Honda claimed this car was going to be the spiritual successor to the legendary CR-X: cheap, fuel efficient, and fun. It lacked its predecessors spirit, and didn't win over any enthusiast hearts as Sam Smith found out.

Funny enough, I had a 2000 Impala that did the same thing, so I just never used the auto-temp. Also, the auto-beams would sometimes take forever to come on, or they'd come on when it's still pretty bright out.

Or tears. Lots of flooded, unburned tears.

Automatic climate control, automatic windshield wipers and automatic headlamps.

One of the main reasons why Lincoln has been struggling for so long is because the brand itself doesn't know what it is anymore.

I know a lot of people will scream foul that I even consider this, but...

Honestly this whole recall thing with GM is like a never-ending, nauseating repetition of the same bullshit over and over...

Well, funny enough, we're kinda on the same page. The crossovers vs wagons argument comes down to one thing: aesthetics. A crossover is meant to look beefier and bigger than it actually is and takes the styling direction of an SUV, whereas a stationwagon starts off as a car and remains as a car; only thing that really

As I said, height has little to do with it; there are crossovers that sit lower than station wagons and vice-versa.

I was waiting for someone to bring this point up. See, the problem is that the very definition of a station wagon these days has been lost in translation; admittedly, there were plenty of times when I've wondered myself how to classify a certain vehicle (Subaru Outback comes up pretty often).

Blew my mind when I saw that...

Had it, loved it. And that was from an age of Lego when the cylinder blocks weren't gray, but transparent; ah... good memories.

Calling crossovers stationwagons. Honestly heard it so many freaking times from people that it makes me sick; and when I explain to them that they're in fact apples and oranges, they look at me like I fell out of the sky or something.
