I was excited about the Hornet but I’m frustrated with it. The red seat inserts and red brake calipers limit me to choosing black or red or I guess, white, paint. I love the Acapulco Gold color but it looks like shit with the red accents. I would just get the GT Plus, but it’s still too expensive.

When demand goes down, the price goes down.

You pay out the ass for the privilege. It’s not complicated.

Last month, United and Southwest said they were no longer counting on getting the Max planes they were promoted by Boeing, according to CNN.

I think the Fit would have sold a lot better if it had been a small SUV instead of an econobox hatchback.

Run from this. The heater core is buried deeply in the dash requiring removal of the steering wheel, console, upper and lower dash, windshield wipers and wiper surround, glove box, etc. The blower motor is also difficult to reach. You WILL break some of the plastic, and it will squeak and rattle when you put it back…

That would be an interesting one. Stellantis would probably worry that it would eat into EV Fiat sales, but there aren’t any and the ec-3 is a very different vehicle than the 500e. The Citroen brand name would be a marketing nightmare. Even Opel’s pronunciation isn’t crystal clear. Maybe they could rebrand it as Vox…

Another factor now is the cars wouldn’t qualify for the EV tax credits. They’d have to put factories in the US and at least source a lot of parts here. VAG is probably in the best position to do this, but VW is their only low-end brand that has name recognition here. I think it would be cool if VW focused on small EVs…

Agreed. It makes me think of a deer blind, which doesn’t make any sense.

This list is so true I struggled to flip through all of it.

I’ve gotten a Ford Edge a few times as a rental. The seats are wonderfully plush but still firm, and the driving position is great. My favorite rental car. That’s all that I remember about it.

I was all set to vigorously defend the Defender 90, but then I…

Apparently tire tread only lasts 10k miles on EVs anyway. Musk is just making sure the Cybertruck uses up all of the rubber. Literally none is wasted! When will you haters acknowledge his genius?

hell yah expense that shit.

I really don’t appreciate these Jesse jokes, show some respect. Too soon.

I’m not buying that WRX until after those tires finish chewing out the wheel wells.

At least when Hamburglar’s heist is foiled, he will be able to sue McD’s over those exposed console heating element burns.

Happened to a friend of mine just last month. Shockingly expensive, and she was told that her car’s harnesses aren’t insulated with soy. Almost like rodents think ALL vehicle wiring harnesses are nutritious now. Either that or their just dicks.

To be fair, once toasted in the engine compartment, soy insulation is delicious.

I think you’re underestimating the difficulty of bypassing dealer networks. But I think the main reason is that cars this small are unpopular in the US and haven’t sold well enough for a new venture since the gas crunch 0ver 50 years ago.

First rule of the internet: Never answer the question.

OK, groomer. I copped to being an old fart in the first line of my post.
