Coming soon...

The airlines brought this on all of us by charging for checked luggage.

Fuel Shark!

Dodge Grand Caravan.

So, here me out...every minivan on the market now starts at $33,000 or more. They’re loaded with “features” and luxury and AWD and things to make people want to buy them over an SUV.

But as recently as 2020, Dodge was offering the Grand Caravan well below $30K, and it had all of the stuff you…

Honda Fit. They really done messed up by never giving us a Si or Type-R version. 

The Cadillac Catera. Cadillac’s effort to bring in younger buyers with an Opel-based sedan was accompanied by a huge marketing campaign featuring a duck for some reason. Both failed.

I don’t know why this is the first one that comes to mind, but the Kia Borrego shows what a difference a decade makes. Kia managed to flop at selling a 3-row SUV, in the US, even though it was supposedly perfectly adequate! Now, 15 years later, they’re selling nearly as many Tellurides in a single month as they…

Lincoln Blackwood. A 2WD luxury “pickup” with a carpet lined bed and permanent bed cover, built for maybe 2 years.

I think it’s less about completely preserving the look of the front end, and more about mostly preserving the look while also not having to drill holes in the bumper. 

“I” have freedom.... US freedoms revolve around “I”, “Me”, “My”, “Mine”, and “Not Yours.”

I can feel the stickiness through the picture. The GM plastics of that era oozed constantly.

all those late J-bodies had the dash all cracked way before age 10.

I drive a crosstrek and you're not wrong. Even my sedate style wants a bit more juice out of it. That being said, they can't build em fast enough and there's tons of em on the road out here. 

The glaring lack of buttons on the steering wheel belies the clever packaging of the GM left stalk.

If you think the Crosstrek is underpowered try a Honda HRV.

I honestly don’t think the Cobalt’s interior was that bad for its era, especially post-facelift. The only ones that really stood out positively were the Jetta and Civic. Everything else—including the Corolla—was pretty lackluster.

GM interiors can make a color picture look like it was taken in black and white.

I forgot how abysmal these were. Anyone who went to highschool in the mid-00s will be familiar with this image. Even if you didn’t have one, it’s guaranteed that at least one of your friends did. Cavaliers were absolutely everywhere for quite a long time.

Jesus, that is grim.
