Hate the Bridge Console in my 2012 Caravan.  Pacifica bridgeless console is a bit better.  Fave is the cargo net on the floor of me 2005 Caravan.  I feel like better covered bins in the center stack and a column shifter would be the best of all worlds.

Actually the Pacifica seats are much better than the Caravan seats. Besides kids have things way too easy these days. Toughen them up a bit with a thin hard seat while they stream movies and play online video games instead of playing Slug Bug as the travel gods intended.

Sorry, got bored about the third paragraph. Did they cave and include android auto ... which is why I own a Pacifica rather than a Sienna?

I hunted for weeks to find a Pacifica with black cloth seats and all the options.   If I'd gone with leather it would have been easy. 

Or let the market work by letting them fail. Too much competition can also be a bad thing in traditionally cyclical businesses.

It’s the thing I hate the most about our Pacific. But also hated the Caravan’s dash top selector. The column shifter was so natural, why mess with it?

I would have been with you until wireless android auto came into my life.

I believe using a wheel and tire package from a Fiat 500 would solve this immediately. 

Pshaw. I easily drove at 5x my normal commute speed on the way to work today.

Two doors down ... in a family with four boys in their early 20s: Chevelle, Road Runner, Malibu SS, and Grand Prix. 67 to 71, by my recollection.

The selling is all before and after the sale.

Was nice of you not to reply ok boomer. I’ll go back to my printed newspaper now where AP style will keep me feeling safe and secure.

I feel like the headline is backwards:

I think the solution here it to put this new rear on the Mazda3.  And we’d have a winner. 

I don’t really had hate the current tail like configuration. But need to be scaled down to being distinctive instead of overwrought.

If I was that PR guy, I’d ask for a raise. And I’d send Jason a set of LED Pao taillights.

Sure.  But no sequential Torch.  Because outdated tech.

Today I drove my 1981 Plymouth Champ to work. 65 mph over the hills and dale. Also usually good off line at traffic lights as in I’m not holding anyone up.

One thing about pretty much all Asian manufacturers ... they really know how to put a face on a car. Sometimes on both front and rear. I guess if you grew up on anime that makes sense that it’s part of the aesthetic.
