I'm sure there is also a large contingent of people who don't want to BUY the huge truck, fearing that gas won't be $2/gal for long. If it goes up to $4.50/gal in 2018, your lease is done so you hand it back. GM takes the huge hit since resale will be impossible. Ready for a recession folks?

To do so, you'll need to come up with $1,900, and hone your ninja skills to elude Mr. Petty's security detail and rocket-launching dobermans. Focusing strictly on the price for the moment, what's your take on $1,900 for this Richard Petty Pontiac? Is that deal that should have it taking the checkered? Or, is that…

But there's a problem with judging people based on their writing style, namely: any 14-year-old who has taken a few English classes can look smart on the Internet. Whereas I've met a wide range of well-educated professionals – people who went to schools like Brown and argue about whether or not Westhampton really…

How does this end up panning out if/when kids are involved? It's confusing enough to kids when parents divorce. What about kids that have a parent with other partners that are *not* divorced? And what are the solutions for talking about that with their friends? This all seems like hipsterish double-income-no-kids…

True. But that's the smell of piss.

I lived there for a year and after the shiny newness of being there wore off, it just felt gross. Getting back to a place where more cars where gas powered was like a revelation. For instance, in Germany, Spain, UK, etc., there is a much better balance of gas/diesel. Italy is almost as bad as France, but there, the…

Poor diesel, always so misunderstood.

Hopefully GM will figure out that the ATS chassis is worthwhile and they'll use that for the next Malibu. They already use the turbo-4, but it's FWD. Make it RWD/AWD and give us a 3rd pedal option, and keep CUE off the list, and I'm in. For $26-29k? Oh yes.

But does it have CUE and the standard ATS guages? If so, count me out.

I thought the giant speedo *was* interesting. Putting a rectangular nav screen inside the circle is a poor design choice, in my book. Just let the nav pop up out of the dash like Audi does and let the big dinner plate be a speedo again.

*WHY* does Mini insist on keeping this ridiculous circular shape/graphic in their dashboard design? It unifies nothing and just makes everything look bizarre.

Needs a badge. Looks like a face with no nose.

True. Except then you have to drive around in a minivan. Sorry, you will never convince me it is a better place to be. I grew up in them and will never go back. Oh, and the Suburban has snow-friendly ground clearance the minivans can't match.

Yes. But Excursion is long gone. GM has the super-size SUV market cornered. No one else goes that big.

True. I'm just saying that in the world of full size SUVs, there are *very* few as big as a Suburban. The GL can fit a few overnight bags with all seats up. I can take those 8 people on a week long road trip in my 'Burban....

You missed an easy one. Dodge Charger. 4-doors and same engine/trans as Challenger

Number one is the Mercedes GL63 AMG. I'm obsessed with these right now, because I truly believe this is perhaps the most ultimate automobile currently on sale. Think about it: this is essentially a Chevy Suburban with a supercar engine. This is three rows of seats and 557 horsepower. This is the absolute most obscene,…

...because it will cost several thousand more, and with gas prices where they are, it would take 10+ years to recoup the cost difference in the USA, so almost none get sold, so they don't bother. It makes me sad too, but still...it's a fucking van. Quiet gas engine with automatic is just fine.

Always a good decision.

Being an Si, this Prelude should rock the 140-horse B21A1 DOHC four, and the ad notes major maintenance having been undertaken on the mill in the past two years, which included the timing belt. I don't remember if these are interference engines, but even if not, a broken timing belt can ruin your whole day.
