Or the new Kia Carnival.

Sounds like you want them to cry uncle. You’re right; they’re wrong. I’d prefer the honest answer which is that’s how we designed it. And if you are an engineer that means specs. It was designed to meet.

I dunno. From the get-go my sense of it was that the Sport was Bronco Lite.

You need a used 2000 Camry as your weekend getaway car.

The best training they are likely to get is from well researched early adopters who come  in to shop.

You can sometimes still find their auction pictures on the Copart site if you search the vin.

When I was a kid, my neighbor was VP for Omaha Public Power District. His company car was a Cutlass hardtop — orange with white vinyl roof.

Oh, now this topic is right up my alley.

There’s a Honda I’d buy.  (Actually, I’ve become a fan of the current Accord.  Not sure why.  I remember strongly disliking it when it launched.)

They busted the Soul segment apparently.

But much of the Toyota and Honda line-ups are dull to look at. And those that aren’t, are just hard to look at. Kias have been interesting to look at without being outlandish.

Oh, bad take. Soul is definitely a style statement. And, has a lot of nice design hooks. Perhaps the current model is trying a bit to hard, but the last model was a trove of charming details.

Because they good numbers to make their average SUV numbers look better?

I guess if you include the Stinger, they have hatchbacks.

I love parking my 157" hatch next to a F350 long bed that I’m pretty sure has to be very close to 270". Their natural nesting ground is the parking lot of the neighborhood HEB. And there’s nearly always a space left for me right next to them.

I think it’s going to get saddled with the bad rap of standing out in the crowd making it an easy target of hate. Sort of like a PT Cruiser.

By all accounts this seems like a fair valuation given the milage, even though comparable vehicles with similar milage are going for about twice that. But they told me that’s not really how valuation is determined.

I briefly thought about becoming an attorney once, so here’s a take: Depending on whether you consider this to be parody or satire, it may be considered fair use!

When the chips are down, you need a big truck.

The painfully detailed analysis and self-flagellation is part of the Jalopnik tradition of crashing press vehicles. It may not be a full 7-step rehab program but I definitely know this is one of the steps.
