As car enthusiasts we ALL know deep down that we must defend or hoopties and bad choices with zeal. Yes, we all make bad choices, but they were OUR choices and we made them and dammit we will defend them.

Fine. I’m still going to maintain that there are a lot of better choices out there. If we go back to your first point, that they’re good for people on a tight budget, if someone really is on a tight budget and needs new decent, reliable family transportation there are lots of good options in the low 20s and high teens…

There is a Dodge dealer around the corner of my of office. I drive past it everyday. They have a couple of new Grand Caravans sitting on the lot for $18K.

I see no problem with the Challenger as it currently sits. It was given a face lift in 2014 for the 2015 MY. That is now entering its 4th year of production. Its not unreasonable to ask 5-6 years out of a style. At that point I expect either another refresh to a stout platform they have worked out the kinks on OR a…

I’m gonna say this though, do the vehicles really need a new platform? With the exception of the Grand Caravan and maybe the Dodge Journey, these are good vehicles that are comfortable and have the latest technology. Its not like its a 10 year old vehicle with a 10 year old interior design and technology and…

Partially Incorrect. Rear multilink is from the e class. Front suspension design is based off the S.

It’s a slight misconception that the LX platform is based off that old E-Class— really, they took the five-speed auto, multi-link rear suspension, and a couple other bits and bobs from the Merc, and integrated them into an all-new chassis design.

While this is accurate information, it is just another in a long list of completely worthless metrics in the automotive industry.

newer ≠ better

And why we should care?

In this case I’ll ask one question and you’ll understand the problem without learning any quirks the japanese have:

It’s really easy. Don’t be a loud obnoxious douche and you’ll do just fine in Japan.

Wait, since when did the Baroness do the whole “Superman underwear outside of tights” thing?

Shouldn’t we be talking about how it’s bad for the companies to judge people that way instead of chastising people for giving their honest feedback? Seems like that’s the real problem.

Again we are here with another article about this useless toy for the 1 percenters! Whoever could be interested in a VERY EXPENSIVE toy jeep, that CANNOT BE USED ON THE ROADS??? How many of the readers are so rich that they can buy a toy like this one? Let’s forget the luxury resorts managers, or the ranch owners, or…

I urge you to try...if your spouse predeceases you or you suffer a divorce its not necessarily easy to build friendships (real ones) when you’re older :(

If you’re going to go with one...remember they may die or leave you (if they are your spouse for instance).

Your kid is 15 and not allowed to use social media? No wonder he’s rebelling.

Also, he points out constantly that he interviews people he’s personally interested in, and that he’s not a journalist. He’s just an actor and a person who would like to have a conversation with someone he’s interested in. Not everyone can be an insufferable blog writer.

Yeah, they don’t need Death Stars when they can just accelerate asteroids to light speed and aim them at a planet..
