This is a good start, but car interiors are where it’s at:

Hey now, I bought one in May and it’s a stick. I tried, dammit.

The drop in Focus sales is partially due to Ford not fixing the transmission problems.

It would seem these thieves can 4Run, but they cant 4Hide.

Lapid: “Anything but green.”

Current buyers love that form factor, but don’t like the extra weight, extra fuel consumption and the wobbly driving dynamics that comes with BOF architecture. They also, for the most part, don’t need to be able to pull a small church. A car like the BMW X5 can tow up to 8,000 lbs, which is way enough for the common

I see your point, but can’t help but feel 90% of this problem would be fixed by just bringing back some sweet, sweet sidewall.

Oddly, the 500C looks wrong with any other color top.

For anything squeaky or stiff, and metal, you are better off using white lithium grease. It will last significantly longer, provide long term lubrication. WD-40's effects can wear off very quickly in comparison.

They were OK, but the ‘81 Corolla was magnificent. Only 75 HP, but while I have driven cars that cost fifteen times as much, I have never driven a better-built car. And everywhere you looked there was another subtle feature that demonstrated the thoughtfulness of the design. Best of all, the ‘81 Corollas reliability,

I’m just saying this because I have a weird unjustifiable liking towards these things. And given that she’s not looking for anything particularly exciting, just needs efficient and spacious transportation, why not? Wagons make everything cooler...even a Prius, right? -

So much glass. One of these has the glass square footage of an entire dealership of Mazda3 hatches.

As you rightly presume, it is named after that bit of France, one day I will have another one, and a Fiat 130 coupe, just so as to photograph them together
