Yeah I-5 is a mess. The road wouldn't be boring and the views aren't bad but unfortunately the traffic is always just heavy enough to be stuck behind a truck going <55 MPH for the whole damn day.

IDK about buffer zone though... Oregon has some of the best wilderness, resorts, cheap race tracks, huge OHV parks, and…

You nailed why it's disappointing. People who want sensible buy small Toyotas, Subarus and Hondas. We didn't need another CRV, Rogue, RAV4, Terrain, CX-5,Escape, Encore, Forester, Trax, Sportage, Equinox, Crosstrek, Countryman competitor. Especially not from Fiat with a Jeep emblem slapped on.

The avg price of yearly service for Large Sedans is calculated at$.0537/mile per AAA and it includes the people who do the work themselves. At 12,000 miles that's $644. Since that's the avg I would be very surprised if the avg maintenance for 70-130k cars was $.05/mile. So no it's not as much or more as an equivalent…

That's because none of their grandparents drove them...

Yeah especially since GM buys all their steel preformed. The only thing they cast is aluminum and I'm not even sure they do that themselves. They may buy billet or sheetmetal but hardly think they are doing any steel smithing or forging.

Nope. I'm guessing a post comment edit? Always hard on Kinja to know if a comment was made after an edit.

Or just call someone with a side lift on a van and have them drop the ramp on his car...

Loved my MR-S... Drove that car like I stole it.

That was his point "it still won't thrill like the engine does in a Lotus Elise.". Notice his use of the word "does" as opposed to "would have".

I'm with you. As a FWD sporty car it was pretty good.
But I also get his point... It would be like Dodge making a FWD Charger or Subaru making a FWD WRX. May be a great FWD car but it's a bastardization of the name.

*Cough* MR-S *Cough*

It had the same engine. The GTS engine was used in the Elise... That's the point. Same engine way different ride.
Of course this car was a third of the price of an Elise.

Exactly, what folks don't realize is that if you charge someone you have to do a ton of work and spend a huge amount of time actually getting through court.

It less than a 1000 lbs more, has an 8 speed auto transmission, and all season tires. 0-60 for the WRX is 5.1-5.3 and 6.2 for the 300. The subaru gets 21 in the city and the 300 does 18. Can't fix the mass in the city but gears make up the difference on the highway. One's geared for mileage and the other for…

But the Abarth does have character. With its straight pipes it sounds like an angry tug boat. It has the looks of a kindergartner on steroids. It may not be quantifiable the best, but it still manages to find a way to worm into your heart.

The 500 and the 1 TB are also pretty good at the same price per TB.

Part 2 is out.

That is true. it was hard to tell a jetta from an A3 there for awhile. I'm just glad we can all agree to hate the model X.

I love the new BMWs, but Audi's current language is definitely not minimalism and "soulless" feels disingenuous.

Their new truck.
