As the owner of a Mazda 3 Grand Touring Hatch, I approve this message. I have owned mine since March of 2015, and it has been an incredible car - reliable, fun for what it is (especially with a stick and the more powerful engine), and a comfortable and nice place to be. Good luck on your search!

I laughed way harder at this than I had any right to.

“...we reached out to Scott, an automotive electrical systems engineer at a major automaker, and all I’ll reveal is that he does not work for Studebaker."

Star well earned

I am actually surprised to learn that “running for the hills” isn’t your main form of transportation.

You came for a Topaz and WEREN’T disappointed? That may be a first.

This one took me a second thinking that you had been Kinja’d until I realized it was a very good joke and lol’d.

I can’t even begin to express how disgusted this makes me, so I’ll have Shia LaBeouf do it for me:

Step 1: Post a picture of a very rusty car.
Step 2: Reel it in! You’ve caught yourself a David Tracy!

On that note, does the Chevrolet Forester (that was sold for like a year in India) count?

Kinja’d

It seems that Porsche beat you to the punch:

This! I initially thought the article was commenting on how odd it was that Nissan didn’t have the subject anywhere close to the car before I even noticed the car was CG.

Whoa! It’s like the car embodyment of David Tracy’s love for frankenstein cars and Andrew Collins’ love for cars he can sleep in.

Hello, yes, how does the car move? I got the chance to look in the engine compartment of a C8 Corvette, but was met with only plastic. 

David, I feel for you. Not because you find yourself in a difficult position with another person’s car, but because I know it must kill you to work on a clean, modern car. Because I can’t just stand here idly knowing what you must be going through, here are some palate cleansers for you:

Echoing the sentiments of other commenters, I’d be curious to see if the Gladiator’s sales are lagging compared to other mid-sized, 4x4 trucks.

I imagine this is the first and only time of someone using a Cavalier (or tarted up Cavalier, which your roomy having a Cimarron is a buried lede of in itself) as a means of increasing the reliability of your car.

I am just counting it as a win that someone on website for car enthusiasts is actually insisting they will purchase a new car that has no right to be built.

Did you really expect a large-ish sedan from a company that only sold 705k cars last year to be a volume seller?
