That was an uncomfortably close game this weekend.

Neutral: Would have to be 2000 when the Firestone Tire story gained traction (pun not intended). And sales started to go flat (pun intended).

But less handy when your truck breaks down on a dark road.

Like a Suburban and an Explorer had a love child.

Perhaps if you consider side minor things like side marker and door handle cutouts but I suspect they are otherwise pretty much the same. Sounds like a “fact” the pr folks came up with.

I remember your van!  We co-commented before.

I’d say that new college grad is precisely why they’d want to continue the Fit. Because after the Fit, they graduate to a CRV and then grow to an Odyssey before retiring to an Accord. Cycle of life. Catch em when they are young.

I’d say its beauty was in its purposefulness of design ... and harkening back to the proportions of the 2002, E21 and E30 with taller greenhouse and more upright stance.

What the hell is happening to the Hofmeister Kink? Why would a designer want to water that down? Now it looks like a Volvo or Malibu or an other near premium sedan. Or, yikes, an Avalon.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Did you not read the memo about hating all the ills that come with the SUVication of America/the world?

I’d like to make a pithy sex toy comment but ... I might be running for president after last night’s debate.

Perhaps the understeer is designed to leave room for sportier upgrade packages.

If so, absolution needs to be part of any resolution to the strike.

This feels pretty flimsy. First off I’m not seeing that mileage penalty. 15% feels more like it. But even that seems questionable when I see folks cross shop/move down a model level on the SUV — Camry to Rav4, Accord to CRV. (Would-be minivans owners are buying those Pilots and Highlanders.)

Needs orange accents.

I’ve so wanted to do Gulf livery on one of my minivans. But I’m not sure everyone get the irony.

The headline says nearly double but the first paragraph says nearly 75%. Which is my thinking isn’t nearly double. That’s average annual increase of 6.4%.

I feel like the “drive a slow car fast” rule should be applied here.

Patrick, that is an artfully arranged scooter installation. Jackson Pollock may have flung paint but it was still art.

That’s gotta be a Juke interior.  Please, tell me you just mixed up the pictures.  What a mess!
