LOL! Special flavored water. This has to be the best scam ever made.

I wanted a Fit several years ago, and the dealers said "We don't stock them because we cannot sell them," making a chicken and egg problem. I figure the margin was less so they didn't want to bother, so now we all get CRVs. Yay.

I blame the dealers. I had 2 different dealers tell me that Honda no longer made the Fit a few years ago. They were both full of shit at the time obviously (either that or they were from the future). At one dealer I even passed by 4 brand new Fits in their parking garage. One tried to push me towards the Civic and the…

I drive a 23 year old Volvo s70. And I was at a stoplight the other day... I looked around me and cars were towering over me from every damn direction. I felt like I was in a 1 room cottage amongst a bunch of high rises.

That hood seam along the front is... odd.

thats a weird ass nose.  

It’s fine that the Civic is big now. If you want a small, cheap Honda (like the Civics of yore), you can always just get a Fi...oh, right. 

And the current Civic is bigger than Accords from 15 years ago.

RIP Fit you were just too sensible and useful for us.

There was a time when I would cheerfully shit on the Kia Soul. Then I was t-boned by a lady driving an uninsured G-Wagon who blew through a stop sign while talking on her phone. My Saab survived the encounter, but the incident did nothing to improve the historic Swedish-German enmity.

It makes me irrationally happy that you get to see the car that you loved owning for so long just by looking down the street.

They don’t have to. They are forced to because every other car is a giant SUV.

Why do big ass SUVs always have to park next to my xB when I park far enough back to leave a spot on each side?

They’re the only ones that fit. The person driving the Suburban has a door as long as a billiards table and so parks very close to the right edge of the space so as not to ding the car to their left. Meaning the only thing that can fit to the right is something small. I’ve seen this happen so many times sitting in…

“I feel like the Soul is one of the few remaining cars of a class of classless economy cars that once existed — Volkswagen Beetles, BMC Minis, Citroën 2CVs, Renault 4s, and so on — that were inexpensive but could be driven by anyone, rich or poor, famous or anonymous, equally.”

Bad take is a bad take.

Kia Souls are fucking great and if Americans weren’t insecure to the point of frantically committing suicide via autoerotic asphyxiation while furiously sobbing against the backdrop of “Proud To Be An American” played on endless repeat, they would be half the cars on the road. I’m prepared to die on this hill, fucking…

I got the original in 2009. We put 120k on it in ten years. Perhaps 10k of that were forest service roads. It was a beast. We popped a stove, dishwasher, and water heater in it on different occasions no prob. We traded it in because it was time, nothing broken ever, but it was time.

I like Torch’s maxed-out Soul, but if you instead put a sliding rear door it’d make a handsome successor to the Mazda5!

I cross-shopped a 2020 V60 lease vs. 2016 E350 purchase. The V60 is a beautiful car, but the Mercedes made more sense financially.
