I wonder if they will bring the convertible back. The old ‘verts were pretty ugly. I’d rather see them bring back a targa roof that could be stored in the hatch!

Maybe I meant the fuel position switch? You know, like On, Off, Reserve. I would just reach down there to turn it on and assume I could remember which way to turn it.

When I had a Ninja, which was carbureted, I would randomly have the carb on the wrong setting. It would run out of fuel and quit in the most embarrassing places, usually a very busy intersection.

Are they embarrassed of the rear end design? They showed just enough so that you know it has one.

I don’t think anyone reads these before they are posted anymore. Many articles with lots of typos recently.

We’ll have to wait and see what the EPA rates them as, but the current 2.0L Civic only gets 33 combined (30 city, 38 hwy), while the Maverick is targeting 40 city. It’s impressive that we are even having a conversation about a small truck matching a Civic in yearly fuel costs.

I’m interested to see how the Ford Maverick affects small sedan sales. If a Civic LX is $22,695 with destination, but the Maverick is $21,490 and saves them $300/year on fuel (I’m estimating), I’m guessing small sedan sales are going to suffer even more.

This would be super cool with a Leaf powertrain!

THIS.

and I decided to take the car upscale

There’s a 1996 Dodge Ram in my driveway right now that is going strong (except its transmission).

I honestly think that this would COST taxpayers: verifying all these claims takes manpower. Also, has any of these rich assholes (Senators) looked at the used car market right now? A old car that was cheap not too long ago could suddenly be worth more than this legislation allows. It’s pointlessly cruel and absolutely…

This reminds me of that story about the guy who bought a used Tesla Model S, and the previous owner purchased FSD (or whatever it’s called now; the self driving). After the sale, Tesla disabled the feature because the second owner “didn’t pay” for it. I’m not sure what happened with that case, but with this…

The Mazda CX-30 is bad too.

Mine is actually a complaint, specifically about German cars: They change their taillights unnecessarily for the US market and remove amber rear turn signals. I hate the “brake doubles as turn signal” look; it’s lazy and cheap.

You are right, but my issue is price. A Ford F-150 XLT EcoBoost 2.7 4WD starts at $44,920. Options can take that up to the moon. A base Ridgeline isn’t much cheaper. I wouldn’t mind similar fuel mileage if the entry price is tens of thousands cheaper.

No, as long as you have 2.0L and AWD, the FX4 package is optional. 

Could we meet halfway and have a SuperCab model?

Hyundai might have made a mistake by not offering the 2+2 with longer bed that the concept car had. There are a lot of comments on here about wanting less interior and more bed on something this small.
