Anybody else remember the T4/T5 trucks in the original DiRT? God, those were fun, I'm really disappointed they never made it into the sequels.

I've checked out pretty much everything in its class. I personally like the 200 better than any of them. The Kia Optima and Ford Fusion are very close seconds, and I'd understand why some would prefer them, but I'd take it over any of Japanese options in a heartbeat.

Yeah, the CC definitely could have been made tighter, but its target market isn't going to be doing a lot of spirited driving with it anyways. IMO, the big problem with it is the price-if it could start around the same price as a Wrangler, it might actually sell. But $40,000+? NOPE.

Agreed as fuck.

The rental-spec versions have the old 4-speed automatic and the 2.4L I4, which is a pretty miserable combo. Even though they've been retuned, they're the reason the Sebring had such a bad rap. The rental trim level had everything cheapened or stripped-out so it can be sold for abour $5.

I love all the hatred for the 200 by people who have clearly never driven one.

I can only ride reliably from May to August up here, yet, thanks to $5.30/gal gas, I can save the cost of my bike's insurance in gas savings. And I still have the bike as a toy. If I could get the 6-8 months a year most people do, I'd pay the bike off in gas savings in about 9 years, and pay for its insurance every

Costs nothing. I paid $6500 last year for a NOS 2010 Kawasaki KLR650. I pay $800 a year in full-coverage insurance, $200 less than I pay for only having liability and collision on my 2000 Jeep TJ. Additionally, I'm 24 (Well, for the next 5 days, looking forward to my premiums going waaay down when it renews in August).

I would. Enzo is a REALLY silly name.

They need to run some of the mountain roads here in the Yukon and northern BC. A rally special up the Alaska Highway would be AWESOME.

Fuck Porsche, I want to see Jeep doing this. If I can't have a new Gladiator, I'll happily take a restored one.

Normally, the Top Gear boys win. But, here, us paintballers have already got it the fuck covered.

You know what? That's actually pretty bad-ass.

I love how CUVs are circling back to wagons.

According to Wiki, about 2.7 million Explorers were sold 2000-2010. If we assume 20% were Sport Tracs, that's 551,105 Sport Tracs. A pretty small number over 10 years, honestly-averages out to 55,000 a year. Although since Explorer sales went from 450,000-ish in 2000 to 60,000 in 2010, it'd weight the ST's sales

The 4.7L engine has the same problems that the old Jeep 4.0L had-it's a medieval design by modern standards. The amount of money it would need to keep it both efficient and clean for any reasonable timeframe isn't worth it, not when the Pentastar, an engine that is spread across literally the entire lineup, is just as

The Cherokee was a unibody, too. For the Comanche, they just chopped off the back half, welded on some frame rails and stuck a bed on it.

The 4.7L will be going away soon anyways.

Have you ever seen a Dodge Ram owned by a utility company? V6. Because they cost about $10, and, if you floor it hard enough, are technically capable of forward motion.

Oddly enough, its the opposite in Canada. You can't throw a rock without hitting a 20-year-old D-Series or gen-1 Ram rolling around.
