Why must you tease us with the pics of the little 510 retro car we long for but will never get? its like me waving bacon at my dog.

I think we are overestimating what GM thinks is a cheap car- when they say less profitable I’d guess they mean $39k chevy work trucks and not $88k gmc Denalis. I doubt they are going to make Trax out the whazoo just to have something at the same price of a Maverick.
2.5, automatic, and running air conditioning will get you a 1/4 mile time in the high 20's low 30's. i think the only chevy slower would be the chevette diesel.
Those are crap wheels for this little car. They look to be asa ar1's at 21lbs a piece. to keep this thing zippy, it should be on enkei rpf1's at 9.5 lbs a piece.
I kinda like it. It shows motion. It says this mall crawler can rise to the occasion. And speaking of malls, when there are 27 white jeeps in a row you will be able to tell which one is yours at a glance. Misprinted pennies can be worth thousands of dollars. Put this sucker on bring-a-trailer and watch it fetch $150k.
Jst jettison the camper shell for the dead and have a bitchin El Kamiko.
Eleventy dozen jeeps and he says the vintage valiant is ready for winter duty? It ain’t 1982 anymore. A winter beater is a car you sacrifice to save a better car. You don’t have a better car.
In 2016 the local ford dealer had a left over 2015 fiesta 4 door with a manual discounted to $9999. I knew that was the last new car I’d ever see with a 4 digit price tag. There may have been a few since but those were smoke and mirror prices only doable if you qualified for every possible rebate and incentive…
needs to be an S model with the recaros. [and 10k cheaper]
I’d fear sliding out of bed and catchin my junk on the coat hooks of castration.
if they had been smart enough to put 6 speed automatics in them, hwy 25mpg or better would have been possible. A modern f150 goes about 4465lbs? and has worse aero.
Now we get to watch all the used ones get beat to death as drift and drag cars. yay.
I noticed the only dealership in town with a glut of cars is the Hyundai dealer - Everybody else is parking their vehicles 6 feet apart so it looks like the lot is full. Cant help but think it is because the Koreans are smart enough to have a semiconductor industry and not rely on the chinese for everything.
It steers like a truck only more vague with a 1/4 turn of slop, the brakes are scary non existent, and the only reason it looks quick is the 27% speedometer error. [ these were my observations after driving my grandfather’s unrestored 66 mustang convertible about 10 years ago. ]
This is the equivalent of late stage Hugh Hefner saying 23 yr old fake blondes with fake breasts are the only girls that matter. The rest of the world has moved on Hugh. and Rich. Your opinion only makes you look old and outdated.
here’s what that wagon can do with a small block and a little bit of Nitrous:
This is called dogpiling. Since some of the media has a real beef with a guy who was a golden boy for years, ALL media has to find something they don’t like about the guy and and add it to the conversation. Not defending the guy- he’s probably a full bucket of poo. But he has been a 3/4's full bucket of poo for years…
$10k i meant $10k
the new hyundai catfish sonata looks similar for $10 less and it seems like nobody is buying it either.
i had a rental versa 10 years ago and hated that my leg pressed against the console. could have easily been 8 inches more legroom there if they tried.
