We had a crap-zillion of these when I worked for a rental company. This and the 200 are the very definition of a rental car. Not terrible, but not good either.

I’ll just stick with college, thanks. Seriously, this season I’ve gone from “I’ll watch the NFL because it’s football”, to “I genuinely could care less”.

Worked for a rental company and Impala’s were the queen of the fleet. They’re not horrible, but they’re definitely not as reliable as people claim. We had our fair share that had to go to the dealer because of issues.

Shelby County is one of the most affluent counties in the state. They shoot off less fireworks here than when I lived in the friggin’ desert in Washington.

Close enough.

Fun fact: The nearby Cahaba River is one of the most ecologically diverse rivers in the United States, so let’s hope this gasoline doesn’t find its way into it.

Ha ha! Awesome man! No one has ever made a joke like this before!

So what you’re saying is that if we want to experience the closest thing to a Kei-car in the U.S., we should just drive a Mitsubishi Mirage?

The Patriot is half way decent with a normal transmission in it. I remember them being much better when they made the switch.

Oh man! The absolute WORST car I’ve ever driven was a Compass with a CVT.

I agree. S60's are very nice cars that have an upscale feel and are pretty decent to drive. Plus, they run on regular.

I mean, you kind of have to put yourself in his shoe’s: He’s been given the keys to the BBC’s biggest property after three beloved hosts left and been put under tremendous pressure to succeed. Does it help that he’s acted like a total twit the entire time? No. Does this change my opinion of the show overall? No, but I…

I genuinely don’t care what happens to the rest of Gawker (this is a situation of their own, arrogant making after all), but I don’t know what I’d do if Jalopnik went away!

Funny, I’m listening to the Team Clear Coat podcast with Doug DeMuro and they’re talking about wanting things that we can’t have (but we really shouldn’t want).

I worked for a rental company where Impala’s are the Queen of the fleet. The older ones are the personification of “meh, whatever”, but the new ones are actually pretty decent cars.

Cadillac ATS. Yes, it handled great, but it was insultingly small and cramped, especially in the back seat and trunk. On top of that, the transmission was dim-witted, the interior was cheap and CUE was miserable to use.

When I was a kid, my brother and I thought the Eclipse was so cool. Looking at how awesome Mitsu used to be and seeing the rolling jellybeans they push out now makes me sad.

Unfortunately, most of Mitsubishi’s line-up consists of cars/CUV’s with crap CVT’s, so I don’t really see how Nissan would change any of that for the better.

I enjoy the sports, but the whole thing is absurdly corrupt.

The fact that Chevy tried to pass off idiots claiming that the Chevy Trax they were sitting in was “just like a Mercedes!” showed me that they’ve considered me an idiot for a while now.
