Then the company just calls it “unallocating”.

I’m sure if this engine was dropped in a plastic-wrapped sardine can, it would get much better numbers, given the 800 lbs of safety technology it wouldn’t have to heave around.

Former Tiburon Owner here. 3rd gen (‘03). The issue can be summed up easily: It was less than the sum of its parts. I also owned a 1st gen Genesis Coupe. They both suffered from the same issues. The manual transmission was rubbery, uninspiring, and poorly geared, and the power delivery was lacking. The Tiburon V6

Neutral: How about a Suzuki Jimny stretched out a bit for a 5ft bed?

Neutral: There are Rangers and S-10s all over the place in my area. The rural market is what needs and wants a small pickup. They fit as a daily driver with real utility, and people have held on to them or ask for princely sums to sell them.

5 acre? In my area (Missouri Ozarks), You could easily get a 2,000 acre ranch with everything you need to live and operate it. Assuming you can find that much contiguous acreage in the land of ‘40 acres and a mule’ plots.

Only the hippest hopsters are edgy enough for this. 

Cadillac: “Fuck if I know

Agreed. It only serves as another layer of delay between the driver and reacting to a potentially fatal impact. Too many tests showing all of these systems following a car, which moves over to avoid an obstacle, followed by the system going “hurr-durrr... Oh, beep-beep *crunch*” into said obstacle. Waymo is doing it

“Unlimited” Data

If all the manufacturers are gonna be swinging with each other, find a way to bring Suzuki into the fold and get the Jimmy over here. Whether it be branded a Suzuki, Jeep, Renault, or whatever. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. 

Could have bounced through a couple auctions

This has to be a scrapyard owner that just throws stuff together with zero fucks given for form or function.

Check the Peoria, Illinois Craigslist. Specifically: Motorcycles. There are some incredible Meth-fueled nightmares

The CarFax on this thing is a disaster. CP

Were they smart enough to get the insurance coverage? 

If he puts this on a dedicated market, like advrider, There will be someone at the airport for a fly-n-ride within the week. The DS/ADV bike market is growing (there is a ‘crossover of the bike world’ argument to be made). An R100G/S is royalty to the OGs. 

The space is equivalent between the Tahoe and the Pacifica (Pacifica has more cargo volume). Price difference is, give-or-take, $25k for the base 2WD, $30k if you want AWD. MPG is 7 point win to the minivan. Something Like a Honda pilot would cut the price gap in half (still a lot of extra money for no benefit), and

Can’t look weak for the Joneses. There really isn’t any logical reason for 7-seat SUV over minivan other than image. But I had the same issue with my wife over a hatchback vs sedan a few years ago. Didn’t like the “egg shape” and also didn’t like any ‘block-shape’ hatches like the Golf.

Poor Bram Schot. He has to take over as CEO at a very low point. If he fails miserably, his only recourse will be to exit stage-left with his gigantic golden parachute. Short of following his predecessor down the path of egregious malfeasance and corruption, he’s likely set for life regardless of how well he does.
