My dad started and operated a mid sized business for most his life. He sold it at 60 for more money than he will ever spend. But after 3 years of retirement he got bored and started a small business to keep him entertained. He openly admits that he may never turn a profit on the new business, but it’s what he likes to…

We’re all speculating that it’s going to be a garish, gigantic beast like the H2. But maybe it’s just a macho styled pickup, like the Rivian, Bollinger or (not really) Cybertruck... It might be the right move in this market 

If people bought what they needed, 90% of people would buy a Prius. People buy what they want, which is why giant SUVs and ugly crossover blobs dominate the market

Hi, you must be new here

Any plans for a 5.0 powered Ultimate model?

Remember when Chrysler expected at 90% resale value on two year lease ends? Lol yeah me too

This is FCA, so I wouldn’t blame the designers. Blame the accountants who hamstrung the designers, like on every FCA product. I imagine the conversation went like this

This has been going wild on anti-capitalist meme pages (I have a lot of Bernie bro Facebook friends who have been rage posting about this today), but to me it immediately smelled like a fake. Namely because a VP of Human Resources signed off on it.

This is a bit harsh. I agree with the high beams and street sweeping behavior - that’s downright dickish behavior resulting from pure laziness, not lack of skill.

115k isn't excessive for any modern car, even a German one. These are surprisingly well engineered and rather reliable cars, particularly with the V8. But do expect hefty maintenance bills and repair bills when something does go wrong. If you know what you're getting into, this is a good deal and appears to be well…

I never said the Vibe was “domestic” or “import” - I simply stated it was a Toyota product, engineered and built by Toyota in a union plant. I merely offered an explanation for why the vibe will outlast any other Pontiac.

I disagree. I think the new one is a big upgrade, with the exception of the concentric grill... But it's still better than the beak

For what it is, it offers a ton of value and Mitsubishi will dump incentives and finance almost anyone. Plus there is a $5900 tax credit on the PHEV model. Financially, it makes a lot of sense if you want a large 4WD vehicle and don't want to spend much on gas. 

It was engineered 100% by Toyota, and built in a factory line engineered by Toyota, with Quality Control handled exclusively by Toyota. The type or skill of assembly employees is much less important than the engineering of the vehicle components and the QC processes used. In fact, if you read the Toyota Way, the goal…

First gen Charger were ubiquitous, but are now quite hard to find. If the engine didn't die first, the interiors basically decomposed after 7 years. 

I’ve owned high mileage German luxury sports sedans since I was in high school. I’m used to every little sound being indicative of a major repair that will cost me 4 figures to fix. When I bought a high mileage FJ100 Land Cruiser, I heard a weird grinding sound at speed and assumed the worst... Turns out the heat…

I live in Chicago and have a car purely for pleasure, though I commute exclusively by train or bicycle. I get around my city 90% with those two options, saving my car for joyrides when there’s no traffic, runs to Costco or visiting areas difficult to reach by transit on the weekends. It’s nice. I don’t have to sit in…

Ghosn should be charged with murder for destroying everything decent and interesting about Nissan

Every Fusión comes with a few thousand worth of incentives and markdown, and the Energi has even more. A friend asked me which mid-size sedan she should buy. I recommended the Mazda6 and Accord. She liked them a lot, but saw that a Fusion was several thousand cheaper out the door with more equipment. She picked up a…

In other markets, the small Mercedes Metris is sold as a Sprinter model. Got it covered
