I’m aware but it seems like things that don’t need AWD (see commuter cars) is getting AWD regardless of the need. A base model car that has an engine barely powerful enough to get out of its own way does not need AWD. If I’m buying a new car (it does happen from time to time) there are a few things I look specifically…

How about no. Not that I will have much of a choice anymore as it would seem that AWD will soon become a federally mandated feature on all vehicles.

After spending a week with a rental charger I find this almost laughable. Even with the seat lowered as far as it went and the seat reclined slightly my head was still a fingers width from the celing. Headrests don’t go that high and seats aren’t designed for people with long torsos. You short people are ruining it…

Have you seen the height of the Ford Flex compared to a Minivan and then to say an E-Class Wagon. The Flex is within a few inches of a minivan. (just checked The Routan is 1" taller than a Flex)

But nothing is stopping you from doing an engine/suspension swap with a wrecked GTI or R or if you are Mr. Moneybags ordering the parts new.

I have a minivan but would like a mid to large size long roof, that won’t break the bank repairing, to throw stuff on top of. (things like bikes or kayaks)

pssst.... they don’t sell them in the US. Sorry to be the one to pee in your punch today.

Starred for Fiero. That is a model that could use a comeback.

I’m all for more 2 wheel options as well as expanding the electric vehicle availability. I just wish we could skip all the sales and marketing B.S. ‘E-bike’ is trying to hard to separate itself from the mopeds of old. If we wish to use the ‘Electric-assisted bicycle’ then wouldn’t the next leap in logic be to use the…

I could do with 3 less monitors on the dash.

I noticed that and wondered if it was using red LED’s as a rear fog light.

I’m just disappointed they didn’t put the shift buttons up by the map lights.

Diesels are easy. Same suck-squeeze-bang-exhale as gas only without the sparkplugs. I too would love a Deuce and a half for no other reason than the looks people give me in traffic, or at the mall or in my In-Laws neighborhood.

I drive a G6. It doesn’t do anything quick, especially shift.

I will freely admit that I have hopped the curb several times in this situation. The G6 handles it fairly well and I get the added benefit of people in SUVs looking at me like they never thought of such a thing.

The minivans these days are just so damn capable at just about everything these days. Excellent for cargo, the stow and go seats on the Pacifica means you can go from seating for 7 to cargo van in minutes without any lifting, and since we’ve had one (we are on our second) I have a hard time making a compelling…

It was better than what they had a few months later: They traded the Clubman in for an M4.

I’d be okay with throwing in a modern turbo 4 in the back (since it will have the FWD transmission anyway) and have fun with it.

As a minivan owner with only 2 kids I can tell you that we have butts in 6/7 of our seats at least 1 weekend a month. (Our Scout troop camps once a month and not all parents can/should go). When we aren’t camping (as a troop or with family friends) there is a combination of dog butts in seats, or a few times a year…

Sliders should be on everything with a rear door.
