FCA MSRPs are theoretical. Everything they sell is sold far below list. 

My friend had a Land Rover once.  It was definitely a non-starter.

Ok, can you please tell me how the “herb” reference came about? I know many people have been calling the overlord who killed Splinter and Deadspin an “herb” but I don’t get why.

It’s like the local furniture store advertising 80% off*

Having a terrible reputation for bad reliability and an extremely high cost makes it hard to succeed, even if you only sell SUVs

How much time can a human being spend in a service lounge?

I’ve been saying this exact same thing for years. That badge/logo is pure garbage, and every time I see it, I’m reminded of Kia’s beginnings as a purveyor of shitboxes.

“... and yet Americans will turn their nose up at it, because it’s not a crossover”

I was going to add the Ford Fusion from about 2013-present.

shame that so few also follow the hatchback functionality too. makes for a much more usable car.

Witness the effect a great design has on competitors !

Looks great, but it has the same issue that the Accord, Sonata, and Fusion all had.
