Bring back the original xB instead. Even though based on the Yaris, it was a better car. I think Daihatsu makes it for them now, though.

Correction: It’s going to have so sell a lot of awful cars......

I think it was a combination of percent discount and overall solid car. They actually said what the criteria was, but I forgot the details. They do love the Forester, so it would be odd for it not to be on the list if there’s an appropriate discount.

Where did you get that? CR loves the Forester, so they definitely would have put it on the list. 

The world is a complicated place. More than one thing is going on at once.

From Google:

Depends on the city. Admittedly in the suburbs, but we’ve had deer in the yard before, and I’ve had one attack my car before. We’ve got possums, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits and of course, cats and dogs. I think you can see all of those in at least parts of St. Louis proper as well.

Uh, this has been up 40 minutes, and Mercedes hasn’t commented yet?

I see dead animals occasionally on the road, especially possums. Also the occasional deer, rabbit and dog. I manage to avoid most animals I see on the road, some through luck, some through skill. Pretty sure I’ve never hit a pet. I did have a deer jump in the air, do a 180 and charge the side of my car, I couldn’t…

All I said was I liked the way they looked. I was a kid when they came out. I still think they are the sharpest looking British(or similar) roadster of the time. A yellow hard top TR7 or TR8 is still a sharp looking car. Doesn’t mean it’s actually a good car.

I grew up in Orange County, so I occasionally saw those. The only small old school roadster that I really liked(just by looks, I’ve never driven any) is the TR7, which actually sold pretty well there.

Then again, a 1990s car wouldn’t protect you as well in an accident as a modern car.

You know one way to bring the death rate down? Ban motorcycles.

I don’t know if this is controversial, but the picture of the 55 mph reminds me of this.

For people that whinge about CRs reliability ratings, please watch this so you can whine with actual facts instead of the typical made up crap CR haters spew.

There are two “green” bubbles. The one with one carat just means above average. The one with two carats means well above average, aka Camry. The 4 was only above average not well above average. You don’t even know how to read the charts.

Those are outdated surveys. I checked the BMW ones, not the Toyota ones, and in general the 3 hovers around average slowly getting better until 22, when it takes a terrible dive the last two years. The 4 either doesn’t have enough data, or is better than average depending on the year. They never claim the 4 is the…

Common lie told about CR’s reliability ratings. They do weight things by severity, but keep the stories coming.

Let’s be honest, most of those people only came to a full stop because of the flash from the camera. That’s certainly what I mostly saw going by the camera flash, someone sliding through a right turn on red and slamming their brakes on when the camera flashed.
