Accurate. Bought my brand new STi hatch at 42 yrs old with cash. Had eyes on it seeing them at auto-x and crushing snow at ski resorts.

They have AC and radio because it would cost more to decontent them and they sell trucks south of I70.

Vegans choose not to eat animal products.

Soooo...no mention of the horribly clashing purple seats?

To expand a little: The kind of places that have kid’s menus are not the kind of places who are worried about flipping tables or maximizing seating. They tend to be large dining room places with lots of large tables that just want as many people coming in as they can get. Think chains and cafeteria style places and…

Oh, I know. That CV stereotype can apply to the MGM as well. As for the age thing, I’m nowhere near 80 either. I’m not even 65 (yet).

A star for that sly comment.  I just hope I’m not the only one who catches that.  Good on you.  If you lived in Northern Fairfield County, the first round would be on me.

Note:the money in this case would have been counterfeit.

Because the temperature contrast is a beautiful part of the experience. Refrigerated ketchup on really hot, fresh french fries is like 10 times better than normal.

Didn’t die =/= didn’t kill someone else.

Or, you know, he could get out of his vehicle and beat the guy he just tried to kill with his car.

That’s exactly the point-the sedan market is shrinking, there is a lot of players in the market and the profit margins aren’t there to support investing into it. Even Honda has to slap incentives on the Accord, which was more or less a new design because sales/demand is falling

Does the ongoing SUV apocalypse have you down?  Here’s some good news: 

Exactly this. Yes, if I live and work in a major urban environment AND can charge the car at home every day, electric makes perfect sense. But if you ever go anywhere outside of that magic circle and can’t re-charge the car in ten minutes or less like pumping gas then it becomes instantly an expensive anchor.

Where this GTI is sold, a Golf R starts a hair under $50k and a 3-door GTI starts at $38k.

Colorado is a funny state when you look at it.

I’d completely agree with you. I’ve got an in-law who lives outside of Denver in Evergreen; it very rarely snows when I’m there, (though there’s almost always snow on the ground when I go) I just like to perpetuate silly stereotypes in order to make my point about a car....

people buy the mustang GT when the camaro SS exists.....

In Japan the base model starts at ￥2,656,800 or about USD$25,500 and the top of the range starts at ￥3,850,200 or USD$35,500, so it’d be much less, less then an IS too.
That said this is second generation has been in production since 2009. If they introduce a 3rd gen I’d definitely like to see it here in the states tho…
