In the announcement they said it would start at $30k. This is a replacement for the ILX, not the TLX. Based on your logic, it would have to stay under the $37k mark. 

This is what I was thinking too. However, I will be disappointed if the only interior option is black leather. 

I’m not the first to say it, but these articles are why I come to Jalopnik. Also, I just can’t stop laughing at the outboard motor!

I must not play this game correctly, because I have never encountered any of these items, except a bicycle.

My grandmother bought a Jeep Cherokee after a lifetime of sedans, and says she can’t reach and get the tailgate closed very easily. For most people the power hatch is dumb, but for a few it makes life much easier.

Yikes...

Sounds like now she maybe can get a supercharged engine as a replacement instead?

I thought the same thing...

I definitely wouldn’t be against a 5 door with modern powertrain and manual transmission... 

Always.

If I had the money, I would re-invent Saab to be what we all ask for around here: affordable, simple, reliable, and practical cars. Efficient hybrids that are light weight and have long ranges, and EVs with minimal tech. Most of us just want something fun to drive with low cost of ownership. 

Came here to say this. Why did they honk as they were going through the crossing? Most trains I have experienced would have been honking that whole video.

Probably so PR can state in 3 years that they are removing the manual option because it wasn’t popular. 

Correct. I think maybe it loses some voice-activated things, but no one really wants that anyway. I’m happy to have a simple system that includes Android Auto/CarPlay and not much else.

That brings the Focus’ tech in line with what you’ll find on the screens of the new F-150, Mustang Mach-E, Bronco and Maverick.

When I was buying an Elantra GT, I actually looked into finding a Canadian one instead, because they were available with panoramic sunroof and a manual transmission, as well as a heated steering wheel and red seat belts (none of that was offered in the US). But I couldn’t find one, and time ran out. So instead, I…

It’s $75, not $50...

It’s $75, not $50...

I need to write this down and remember it.

The interiors on these were embarrassing, even new.

I looked it up and you are correct. The 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.7 had 235 HP. There was a H.O. version of this engine in the works, but it came out after the Prowler was canceled and only added about 30 HP.
