They took a major hit with brand loyalty with the dieselgate fiasco, even non-diesel owners I spoke with are kinda soured on the brand.

Any time a company tries to “pander to millennials” I’m suddenly left wondering where these millennials are that they’re pandering to. I’m 28, solid millennial territory, but I’m married, live in my own house, own not one but TWO whole cars, and even have offspring! The strange part is every other millennial I know is…

...and never recline my seat.

Classic with a central-Euro twist that’s going to potter around the beaches of Long Island on weekends?

This seems really easy to me. VW type 181.

Maybe not Eastern European (do you REALLY want that?), but nothing better than an Alfa Spider to cruise around by the beach. $7,000 should get you a very clean series 3 in good mechanical shape- $4-5k will get you a pretty decent driver. Don’t let stories about unreliability give you pause- an electronic fuel injected…

That’s not an Alfasud

That’s an Alfa GTV, not an Alfasud.

Hey Freddy, unless I am wrong, that is not an Alfasud, but a GTV. The Alfasud was the low-cost version that Alfa attempted to introduce to their market halfway through the 70s. It’s more a small hatchback than a sleek coupe:

That’s not Sud, that’s GTV.

hes not president yet... let him fend for himself (i mean.. he has the best security.. its yuuuge)

Some days I think I’d be happier in a Saab 9-5 Aero wagon.

The obvious answer here is get a golf/jetta sportwagen TDI. She can keep her snow tire/wheel set and swap them over, she gets the same comfort, refinement, mileage, etc. With a bigger package.

The only trouble will be finding one.

Mini Clubman: German made, tons of character, available with a stick, fun to drive and capable of hauling the family for years to come. Starting at $24,100. Spend a little more (or buy used) and get the S for even more zip.

Here’s the thing you’re missing:

Ford isn’t being forced to make “shit no one will buy”. The EPA regulations have a MPG target for each vehicle based on its size. Ford could sell 100% F-150s, and as long as those trucks got the mpg requirement for a vehicle its size, they’d be fine. Gone are the days when they’d have…

If it wasn’t for the government then the US Auto industry would’ve gone out of business 7 years ago, if not decades sooner.

Each comes with this free t-shirt!

Are we sure it’s a cannonball? I seem to remember another object that was found and it ended up being something else entirely...

Isn’t it just a piece of metal? Why would they blow it up?
