Well, it's better than calling it BBQ

Cool car in good shape. I just can't wrap my head around 8 grand for it.

Ferrari be like "better you than me!"

Thought the exact same thing. Imagine this thing with awd, a 6-spd, that exhaust and a set of snows? ultimate winter beater.

will they give it the same exhaust set up as the 500 Abarth and Dart with the 1.4? That thing in a 4x4 with 6-spd would be the most hilarious winter beater i can think of.

It is funny how an article which doesn't resort to calling a group of people massive idiots reads better, and is better received, than an article that does.

ohhhh my.

Thank you for sparing me the time in my day from saying this. manual WRX w/ snows is what I am running and wouldn't have it any other way.

and now we have a classic chicken or the egg situation. Either way it is indeed a vicious cycle

As I said, not necessary the car the middle class American would want. I certainly respect your reasoning for why the versa would not fit your needs and lifestyle.

sure, but my comment was more against the attitude of "dont buy/lease/steal a new car! Buy used!" side of things. Everyone seems to wage this war against a new car but they wouldn't have used cars without them

Almost sent that biker on an odyssey to the great beyond

A nissan versa is $12k. A middle class American can afford that.

I guess Finland without cars would be pretty terrible

Before I read that whole response I will clarify my comment.

Is that a terrible thing?

They do. They just aren't the ones that people want.

But no car

No where far from home, since all the manufactures would've packed up and closed down.

But where would you be if NO ONE bought a new car?
