Odd take there, Collin. The update seems very well done and a nice improvement over the prior gen Y. I get that styling is subjective, but this is a much more contemporary and crisply styled car.

Ice screws up the northerners too, although to be fair, our roads don’t really get icy that often, relatively speaking.

It so rarely gets above freezing in the far north, why bother with A/C?

C’mon. The new Charger is literally a completely different platform with no commonality to the old LX platform (other than being fast and loud).

I think the market is long overdue for a large coupe with a hatch.

Why?

C’mon. Uber and Lyft drivers are contractors by every legal definition.

Pretty sure they had no clue what JDM meant.

A solid NP assuming it passes a PDI, which it likely would, considering the appearance and obvious care.

The S2000 was never a JDM only car if you’re using the common definition meaning “Japanese Domestic Market”.

Well, the GM Epsilon 2 platform was widely praised by virtually every well regarded source. Even Consumer Reports gave the Impala a 95 out of 100 score, and they typically hate GM products. 

I bought two AP2s over the years, both with teen miles, enjoyed them immensely for about 5 years each, and made a slight profit on both.

Funny, I rented a loaded Impala V-6 a couple years back and was surprisingly impressed. Not really my jam, but a very nice driver.

I worked for FCA back when the new 200/S/C was introduced. After the initial excitement about this vastly improved car, it became apparent the fatal flaw was they weren’t Impala or Camry sized.

The Carhartt Edition was on the prior generation 200, not the latest platform we’re talking about.

Reading that the Tesla driver had “liability only” insurance on a presumably expensive newer car, leads me to believe the guy’s a flaming idiot, which also highly correlates with him stepping on the wrong pedal and blaming the car for malfunctioning.

So, anyone buying a car above $100K isn’t bright, regardless of their circumstances?

Brilliant observation, bud.

Sure, “cop buddies” will gladly risk their jobs and illegally cordon off a residential street in broad daylight so their tool bag friend can conduct a road test with his tool bag truck. /s
