I heard they’re doing a special deal right now where if you buy remaining inventory they’ll throw in the towel... It’s microfiber!

This is another thing that I’ve often mulled over about the boom in SUV/Crossover popularity. Modern sedans and hatches can be surprisingly cramped feeling and the visibility is often shit. Combined with the sometimes awkward trunk access (the trunk might be spacious enough, but the opening can be downright tiny…

Because when “-phobic” is used as an adjective it doesn’t just refer to a fear of something but a general aversion/disliking/avoidance to something. This is why a chemical can be described as hydrophobic, etc.

Is it me or were those wheels like THE wheels for big 90's cars?

Okay but I’m still gonna make jokes about Cammy-toe.

offering the least power from a set of four-cylinders.

I don’t give a shit about nostalgia. I’m just saying they should keep trying to do better in more segments because even if those segments might not have been the most profitable or successful, I’d hate for there to be less variety and therefor less competition and development in the market. And while some people cry…

Is anyone else starting to get a defeatist vibe from US Automakers?

“Welp we can’t make cars that compete in this segment, might as well pull out. Why bother making something when some one will just make a better/flashier version in a year?”

Frankly they better be at that price.

very few people are doing hardcore trails

I’m interested in seeing what automakers can come up with when it comes to making crossovers more off-road worthy. While I don’t think they’ll ever match the capability of traditional SUVs with or without mods, I’m not opposed to worthwhile effort if the end result is sort of cool (see: Subaru, more modern Jeeps like…

So tl;dr- how was this thing to drive, being V8 powered but also FWD? I feel like this would be the Italian equivalent of those late 90's Continentals (HUR COBRA SEDAN) where it accelerates alright but is otherwise totally forgettable at best.

I feel like this is a problem that could be remedied by a bunch of delinquents with BB guns.

Good. Mind your score, it just went up!

There’s some pretty cool fire trucks and a Suzuki Grand Vitara in the photo. Boom.

Living in a vacuum of other people who never get told “no” or “shut up, that’s fucking stupid,” unless it’s their director or agent must do wonders for one’s social awareness and sense of self worth.

Good on the car for defending itself.

Looking at this car and what it offers for the price, I kind of feel like this is the sort of car Lincoln should’ve made the Continental.

I hope the long jump controls are a little less clunky or just limited to certain moments.
