Good.

I hope Peugeot does re-renter the U.S. market. Then I can sue them for what I paid for that POS 405 back in ‘89.

He should get a Mustang as his next car.

That would be good to know since high spec cars are about the only kind of cars like this that dealers order.

Thanks but no thanks. I prefer my Alfa Romeo 4C.

Didn’t see that coming.

One possible reason for this is that people feel like they need some sort of mini-SUV to deal with how shitty roads have become in this country. Where I live, our “roads” have become a series of connected potholes.

I did something very similar to that once on a dirt bike. I was completely uninjured because, as I was flying through the air upside down and backwards, I went through the upper part of a small tree which caught me, bent, and deposited me gently (!) but dazed on the ground. It looks like trees broke this guy’s fall as…

Yep.

Back in the late 1980s, my then girlfriend and I test drove a new Milano and Spider. Mama Mia, did that Milano have some pickup! Did we buy? Nooo. Instead we bought a new Peugeot 405. What a pile of poodle droppings that thing was. Worst car I ever owned. By the time I was done with it, Alfa was done with America.…

Might it have something to do with the government raids on VW’s headquarters in between VW saying they might be interested and Marchionne backing off? The whole TDI scandal thing is starting a new chapter of ugliness.

What do you expect from Trumplandia?

Lincoln. The 1961-1965 Continental, and especially the convertible, were the pinnacle of American auto design for me. Everything since has been crap. Oh, and Chrysler not going ahead with production of the Ghia designed turbine car sucked badly too.

Just remember that the fastest vehicle over any sort of terrain is a rental car.

I spotted the problem. They’re in Texas.

And yet they pretty much control congress today.

We could save even more money if we just quit trying to force our will on the rest of the world. It didn’t work in Vietnam. It’s not working in Iraq. It’s not working in Afghanistan. It’s not going to work in Syria. And it’s damn sure not going to work in Iran. Hell, it didn’t even work on the Confederacy.

Honda did it better with the Element. Then, being Honda, they let it die of old age.
