Sad to see a once great automaker shoot itself in the foot by cheapening product to chase volume. I was interning at the Toyota North America headquarters in 2015, when Ghosn’s plan to cheapen product and chase volume with subprime financing was in full swing.

That was awful to drive, but it was only in 1 car for like 2 years, and it could be disabled by the dealer and turned back into a normal, reliable V8 (almost all of them were). The Northstar was in EVERYTHING for a decade and a half. The head bolts problem was catastrophic, universal, and couldn’t be fixed easily. Any…

Honestly, the Aztek wasn’t that bad of a car - just ahead of its time and not good looking. Having a FWD, car-based SUV coupe thing was a monstrosity back then - but its the hottest segment today! And they were decently reliable.

I like it, kinda like a March Madness bracket for all of GM’s woefully inept decisions.

It’s a shame. I rent pony cars fairly often and the Camaro is by far the best handling and most enjoyable to drive of all 3. But I would still buy the Mustang over it. It just nails the daily driver aspect so well, which the Camaro misses. 

5.9% is high. Really high, unless you have bad credit.

Yeah I rented a brand new Wrangler Sahara a few weeks ago for a roadtrip and it was terrible to drive on the highway. I thought things improved with this generation, but I really wished I had taken the Sportage they offered me instead. 

The Bronco Sport is for 90% of SUV buyers - the ones who want something that looks macho, but is really just a fuel sipping, A to B commuter car that they will never take off road.

In India, cars live much longer and harder lives than in the US. Despite advances, CVTs are not known for their longevity, especially in demanding applications. Maybe CVTs have a bad rap in India, especially after the problematic earlier generations of them the Nissan shoved down everyone’s throats. Maybe there’s a…

They all look a bit cartoonish - except the Black Diamond. That is a genuinely sexy looking offroader. Has the workman like vibes of the 90's G-wagen, last gen Defender, and current Jimny

Old cars will never be anywhere as safe as a new car. Watch this old Fifth Gear video comparing a mid-2000s Renault compact with a mid-90s Volvo wagon. Despite being significantly smaller and cheaper to buy when new, the Renault is vastly safer.

I saw a camouflaged one being tested in the Everglades a month ago. I thought it felt a size class bigger than a Wrangler. The little horizontal light bars next to the circle headlights is really distinctive in person. 

MPM Erelis, which was allegedly produced in Paris, briefly.

It will either be this or a Genesis G70 3.3T AWD for my partner’s next car. He can’t drive stick. Oddly enough, there are some leftover New 2019 models in the mid 30s. If they’re still hanging around by the time this launches, we’re probably taking the Genesis.

$20k for everyone to laugh at you and assume you’re overcompensating for something small? You could get that kinda of attention for much less money by wearing a Confederate flag hat.

1) Separate the Land Rover and Range Rover brands (ala Ram and Dodge). Keep Range Rover upmarket, move Land Rover down market. We need to realize Range Rovers are the only true luxury cars they make. Land Rover can capitalize on the mid-priced crossover boom, appealing to people surprised that they can now afford a…

They are really, really, really cheap. A family friend had an old Sienna that was rear ended in April and they needed a replacement 3 row car for cheap. I suggested a Journey because I found a brand new one for $13,500 (base model). Of course is had a warranty and all the massive financing incentives Chrysler offered…

I agree. While not a catering company, my brother has a side gig where he does bartending and tasting events with craft beer, obscure liquors and fancy wines. A while agohe was looking for a vehicle to take his stuff to gigs.

Interest free loans are essentially free money. But they’re designed to attract people who are normally unable to afford the car. Which is why we saw their proliferation after the economy tanked a few months ago.

I wouldn't call it good looking. It's interesting, but not necessarily attractive. Kinda like the current Camry. But I'd rather have the 300 HP V6 in a Camry over this.
