All that said, automatics still suck.

AMC was DEFINITELY the most Jalopnik of all the big car manufacturers.

Considering how 90% of the vehicles on the market nowadays are exactly this—chunky station wagons—AMC gets the gold star for being way ahead of the curve.

Good examples. Been a line worker, later in life I worked next to the engineers. They have it rough as well. The crazy shit they have to deal with is unbelievable. They get it from all sides. From line issues to vendor service problems to supply problems.

The tweet complains about quality control while sharing a picture of an issue found during... a quality control process.

..Because I Don’t Want To Die

90% of people who care about the distinction went to school for engineering.

Nah, the profile is bad regardless of ride height. People also shat on the BMW GTs. 

“Yet, we forget that the Lexus SC came first. Toyota took a luxury grand-tourer platform, chopped it down to some slightly sportier dimensions, and rebadged it. That’s less involvement than the company had in designing the BMW-codeveloped A90.”

Certified “Internet Car Guy” checking in. I dump on the Crosstour because it’s ugly.

could care less how big of a dick dude was. Ford issued orders DO NOT MARK UP RESERVATIONS and what do they do?

They broke the rules. So FUCK EM. Dealer got off too easy. Fuckin cheaters.

At the same time, why does everything have to come down to legality and signed agreements for things like this. Shouldn’t a well functioning system be easy to navigate, transparent, and not rely on having to protect yourself all the time?  An ideal system here should be relatively “frictionless” so to speak.
