I know it's just a Nissan Frontier with a new grille, but I would drive the FUCK out of that olive green Equator.

Huh, the American pricing is a lot more Dart-friendly than Canadian pricing. In Canada, a 2.4L Dart GT and a 3.6L Avenger SXT start at the exact same price, $25, 960. The Dart comes with the 8.4, but aside from that they're pretty similarly equipped.

Because it's frequently cheaper. more spacious, and comes with the 3.6L Pentastar, which is a fantastic engine.

The Tacoma and Hilux have always been roughly the same size between generations. Last gen of both was the same story.

You DO know that the current Hilux is within a few centimeters of the Tacoma in every dimension, right?

Read better. They're not blaming it for tanking their numbers, they're noting it as just one of several reasons, most one of several reasons why the numbers are down.

It was decent competition to the TJ, and maybe the early JKs on account of the 3.8L engine.

Dingdingding.

I don't think I've seen much of that, not without a substantially modded Jeep, but you can find plenty of Wrangler or Power Wagon vs Raptor comparos, which is pretty close.

Ugh...I know it's going to be an amazing car, but damn if it doesn't look like a bag of smashed assholes.

CJs and Wranglers are really schizophrenic in winter. I'd never want anything else for plowing through deep snow, but on a plowed but icy highway? Fuck. That. Noise, my TJ is an absolute deathtrap on icy winter roads.

I'll go a bit off here and bring up the Ford Ranger. With the exception of carrying a lot of passengers, it does everything. (And, technically, you can carry a ton of people in the bed...)

I'd say that everybody's HEARD of the Avro Arrow, but scarce few people know what it looked like.

I can't decide if you're being deliberately ironic and making fun of online car communities, or if you're actually serious.

Everyone always asks why someone would buy a 3/4 or one-ton truck over a compact truck or a van when the smaller vehicle would be perfectly serviceable for their needs. And, yet, nobody asks why someone would buy an M3 when a Camry would be perfectly serviceable for their needs.

If you want to get even further down the line, the Chrysler JC Platform that underpins the 200/Sebring, Avenger and Journey was based off this platform as well. So, the Sebring and the Evo are practically kissing cousins.

By far, here's the winrar: the Chrysler/Mitsubishi M Platform.

The worst part is that, under the CoD badges and the douchebags that buy them, the CoD edition Jeeps are actually fantastic packages. The Black Ops one was basically just the Mountain edition for less money, but the MW3 one got you AEV front and rear bumpers, rock rails and heat reduction hood for less than buying…

Every time I go to Europe, I see a bunch of those and get all giggly and watch them until they disappear around a corner.

Lolwut? The JK is far and away the most capable vehicle Jeep has ever made. Stock JKs will wheel circles around all but the most insanely built YJs and TJs. Sure, the interiors don't deal as well with a power washer, but in literally every single other attribute the JK is superior.
