Do you want coronavirus? Because that's how you get coronavirus.

Most cars are designed for a side variety of heights and plenty of let room in front. For example, I’m 6'3" and 350 lbs, yet I got in and out of a Mazda Miata & a Geo metro just. Anyone sitting in the back seats are fudged though.

1) the NHTSA (aka the one with actual legal teeth) does not do overlap tests, that is the IIHS which is an independent organization.

Can’t agree more. Have both an 89 runner and an 06 gx

The Roxor and the modern Jeep Wrangler are not competing with one another

Right, exactly.  I don’t get this whole attitude of “well if we aren’t going from ICE human driven cars to fully electric level 5 robot cars, than there’s no point in doing it”.  This site is so weird sometimes.

Yeah, that’s pretty much the very definition of luxury.

I don’t know who decided this, but at some point “luxury” suddenly also meant “many, many options to pick from.” Options for everything!

I found one for $20k. It has one or two flaws.

Also, handling is not nearly has handicapped as they say.

It’s odd hearing this from Dave Tracy too. A man who’s career is all about driving garbage but in a fun way. I enjoyed his “holy grail slog across 1/2 the country” story. 

What is about these crossovers with no off-road ability that convinces you to pay a premium just so you can give up handling, fuel economy, and rollover safety?

You’re forgetting the enormous fixed cost of the factory where the Fusion is built, and the relative ease of switching to assemble a more profitable product there vs. borrowing to build an entirely new plant instead.

Yeah, you have to actually buy a Tahoe to get worse mileage.

and except for the Pacifica Hybrid, get the same mileage as large crossovers.

One could make a pretty good case that Russia—a country that assassinates dissidents abroad, backs regimes that use chemical weapons against civilians, and intentionally bombs hospitals, is the bad actor here. One could also make the case that Russia needs to be punished for violating the treaty, and the U.S. is…

For how cheap these are getting, the build can easily fit that budget. 2" lift, a few skid plates, lots and lots of Milwaukees Best.

Or just buy some doors 

“If you don’t own one, you just don’t get it”

Yep, the one guy in the universe that’s had 0 problems with his Alfa will not tolerate this brand smearing.
