Mitt was correct. More money stupidly spent would just increase the number at the bottom of the bankruptcy petition. Detroit is beyond help. So are 99% of all major metropolitan cities in the USA...just not failing as fast as Detroit did.

This.

Does no one use ad blocker plus? Amateurs. Itchy eyed, menstruating amateurs.

Honestly, I'd look at a Zetec motor for it. You can get adapter plates to bolt a T5 to the FWD Zetec motor (out of a Focus). It doesn't have huge power numbers out of the box, but ~175 is pretty doable with that motor. Do something like a MegaSquirt for the fuel injection, and you'd end up with a quick, reliable,…

This was back before Honda completely lost their soul.

I mean, it still has two seats but you can get close enough:

while this fits the traditional Jalopnik model for NP, i have to vote CP. To me, the "needs a good tune" really means "while the wiring harness is in place, i can't track down the gremlin that makes the engine run like shit"

Perhaps, just perhaps, it isn't specifically "import drivers" and is more like "everyone", and the connection you're making between shitty drivers and import drivers is only because imported cars are much more common than domestic cars.

Because a person jumping on your car has good intentions. No danger there. Nope.

No....... not quite. Try caps lock.

I was thinking the same thing. Just need a skid plate and bam - problem solved. Chrysler could probably buy these in bulk and get them on the offending Jeeps for under $400 per vehicle. That has to be cheaper than alternative recalls.

Anyone who buys this over a slightly used CTS-V Wagon is a cotton-headed ninny-muggins.

They see me rollin. They hatin.

"Many" is relative. When their sales are up 25% over last year, that's "many" to them. I may earn 1/3 of the dollars of some other people, but if my dollars earned increased by 25%, that would be "many" more dollars to me!

Come on, when we are hot and bothered we all get a little weak in the knees.

Taking a cue from the methods seen in GT5, GT6 will be released as a $60 beta in 2014 (no, 2015, scratch that, 2016), with pay to upgrade incremental features added in.
