damn that’s like 8 bucks US. nice price.

It’s even a sweet color!

To be fair, if a car company were branded ‘ROFL’ or ‘LMAO’ I would’ve said the same thing.

I hear you. Great car. Shitty branding for naming it ‘KIA’

I agree, which doesn’t change my disappointment.

Good call with STi, although a large portion of the US calls them ‘STD’ like ‘DUI’ vs ‘DWI’.

Had the same (I think the trim package was also a limited, but to be fair I wasn’t really paying attention to it. It had leather seats, but I don’t know if that’s a tell for the trim level) as a rental about a year ago. The throttle response was glacial, the interior aesthetics were a weird luxo-rugged thing, and the…

That’s basically my life.

They have one vehicle that is worthy of the name: the Wrangler. The rest are shoddy CUVs that are riding on the off-road coattails of their good product. Even the Cherokee is nonsense these days.

Wrench all night, write all day. Way to be Jalop, David!

I understand, I just guess I’ll be forever appalled they used a name that’s such a sad acronym.

This. Definitely. Just DOA...

Yep. I used to work in Germany, that’s how business is done over there. They’re always hiding loopholes in the contract, and deliberately trying to mislead you with fake intentions. A prime example is how Daimler gutted Chrysler until there was nothing left.

90% of it is way different than you think. 10% of it is exactly what you expect. That needs to be our state motto or something.

Neutral: That would be pretty crazy. I suspect that, as is the case today, states that want more strict standards would agree on exactly what those standards would be. Currently thirteen states (including my home of Massachusetts) plus DC follow California’s lead, including many of the more densely populated states in…

Neutral: I’m all for states’ rights (to a degree, anyway), but practically speaking, things like safety and emissions are best left centralized. Why? (1) Because it costs the manufacturers so much to meet regulations, if you vary the states too far from one another, it’ll just create a crazy black market akin to the…

I find it comical that average drivers think they can do this shit man.

Let’s be honest, we all want to go fast in a supercar, but we don’t have the skill set

I’m surprised to say it, but the Kia Niro could be the future of “crossovers”. Pesudo-wagons are really what that crowd wants anyway, they just can’t let go of the baggage they put on that word.

Interesting development. Long live the midsize GM hatch.
