Both my 2013 Outback and 2007 Santa Fe have these pockets for the buckles. It is mainly so that they don't get in the way when you fold the seatbacks flat to expand the cargo area, but they are also nice when putting in car seats. I was under the impression that the majority of vehicles with folding rear seats had…

I had them put on my 2013 Outback when I bought it too. For some vehicles they just work.
Yep. Back in college in upstate NY around 2005 I dated a girl that drove a white one just like that one. Even had an "SUS" badge on the back.
MN is right - you can't really custom order a Toyota - any Toyota in the Gulf states. The best they can do is look into the system and see if another dealer has it on the lot or in their order queue. The Taco in the story I told was pulled from another dealers order sheet and my friend had to wait 2 months for it to…
It's ashamed that there is nothing in the bed.
Actual costs of owning one of these are not as bad as you claim. Friend at work here in TX just bought a Crew cab V6 4x2 PreRunner for $26k off the lot. Plenty of similar ones in stock. Sticker was over $29k. About the only option it doesn't have is 4x4. Nobody actually pays over $30k for these. Reason he sold:…
Damn. Ninja'd while looking for the clip. All I could find is this low quality one.
I had a tan/brown 1993 5-speed ES300 from 2006 til 2008. Found it on a BMW dealer lot of all places. Was my first manual car and first car I bought on my own after graduating college. Reading Chris's articles always made me miss it. Sadly it blew a head gasket hours after I rebuilt the front end and I dumped it for a…
DAT NEW BMW COLOR!
That's pretty bad. 2014 TDI w/Sunroof and $30,500 MSRP are being advertised at $3250 off at a dealer near me this week. With the new model coming out, I'd try to negotiate that close to $5k or wait.
I think it depends where you are. They sold quite a few to rental fleets. Had one from Enterprise about a year ago. 5k miles. Remote key fobs didn't work. Passenger window switch didn't work. Check engine light was on. Tools the attendant when we returned it and he said that he had 5 brand new Captivas and they…
As terrible as these are, they don't seem that rare. I've seen tons of them here in South Texas. Most are pink - seem to be selling to women based on the color alone. But I've seen several green ones, a few white ones, a black and a silver one.
Was going to post the same thing. My guess is they will screw it up by adding a turbo and tacky "aero" parts to address the power and styling complaints in the next gen and ruin it in the process.
Yep. I got sick of waiting after 15 minutes once and walked out of the salesman's cubical over to the showroom floor where I was in earshot of the manager and staff standing at the water cooler and pretended to be talking to the police. That got my keys back quickly. Should have expected that after the sales guy…
Depends on your policy. Last time I checked with my agent I would be covered under my existing policy on any new/used car purchase for 7 days.
Obligatory image response...
Cadillac Allante? Take an Eldorado chassis, chop some length out of the middle in Detroit. Interestingly, they decided this was actually a somehow a new platform, the "V Body," exclusive to the Allante. Then fly it to Italy, put a body on it, fly it back to Detroit and put the rest of the parts on... WTF?
One summer home from college at my friend's house drinking a few beers at 3 or 4 AM his dad comes home in a rental car that he did not have when he left for work that morning and shows us photos of the aftermath of a deer committing suicide by jumping onto the windshield of his 1 year old Chrysler 300M (remember…
I worked at a garage in a rough neighborhood in PA in my teens. One January a guy who owned a pizza shop paid for part of his repair bill with like 50 pizzas. We stuck them in a Dodge Diplomat that was sitting around because it had some work done before the owner had vanished. After two weeks we moved what was still…
