Hey, I sold it to her, and I talked with her this morning - I just want to say, I legit had no idea. This was my grocery getter and city escape vehicle, and the steering was vague as hell but I chalked that up to GMT2500 handling, or lack thereof. I never wrenched on this except an alternator, because I honestly had…

PHENOMENAL GRILLE POWER!

The new tundra definitely exudes big dick energy.

Toyota says Oh, hell no! to Chevy having the ugliest truck in the world honors and declares war!

Okay, let’s just put this on par with other convertibles that are in the same shouting distance: You could get into a high-ish mileage S2000. There are some good Boxsters in this territory. A near-new Miata would be on the table here. You could do a C5 Corvette without a top, if you’re into that sort of thing. (Or, if…

I think the Maverick’s biggest competitors will be the Cruze, Corolla and Civic base models. Cheap transportation for 20-somethings on a budget, to run around town. I don’t really see it competing with other pickup trucks, except.maybe for fleet service.

This looks so much like a RAV4 that I was wondering if the wrong images were posted with the article.

I always considered buying one of these...Risky Business.

*ctrl+f, search for “holy grail”. 0/0*

Screw it, I’ll off-road the crap out of it and report back.

I totally disagree on this. Chip foundries are not iphone assembly plants. They cost $$Billions to build, and require skilled (relatively high wage) workers to maintain. US companies didn’t off-shore their chip foundries, they stopped investing in them because they didn’t want to pay the capex ($B’s) to build new ones.

Yes, they can build and stockpile a few million chips for emergency use, such as current conditions.

But that’s not exactly true. NXP, Samsung, and Infineon all have high volume fabs in Texas; and have yet to show signs of moving their production. Which, of course, is one of the problems in the semiconductor supply chain - all those plants are just now recovering from the Texas blackout.

You can get in the both of those for around $26k. $7k worth of trim *probably* buys you the same safety tech the Volvo has (although the point of the article is that Volvo’s tech is the best).

Let’s take a step back from the CO detectors not enforced to why these people, even kids, didn’t have to die.

The definition of solitude: Michael Collins is the only person, alive or dead, not in this photograph.

After briefly holding the title of “The Loneliest Man on Earth” — the title was taken from him by Jim Bransford from Marietta, Georgia. Bransford is the only known person to have watched Mariah Carey’s 2001 film “Glitter” in theaters.

No Chrysler apologist here, but I think you whiffed on the context of where Chrysler was in the early-to-mid-90's when this was designed and rolled out:

The guy on the right is Lucid’s export model seat tester. 

I like how they said brand heritage like anything Jeep offers can match the heritage of running from the police in a white Bronco.
