I suspect the USPS would fold the next day.

That wasn’t actually my intent. I was relaying my experience of a similar encounter with the USPS. Do you think it is OK to dump mail that was paid to be delivered with no repercussion? I don’t. If my company had paid to have flyers delivered and found out they had been dumped, I’d be mad.

You sound fun.

The latest Crosstrek is massive. I had a mid 2k outback and.those were the right size. The new Subarus are all oversizdd

ah yes, the famous and many GM front-wheel-drive enthusiasts

I came here to make some snarky comment about not being a 24 year old blonde college drop out still living on daddy’s money....

But fuck it. I want this car. I have NO idea if that’s a good price or not but I think I have a new car on my Autotrader saved search list.

This is marketing at its finest. People want MPGs, they have to pay $4k for diesel option + $8k for the trim that allows diesel. The extra MPG over the 2.7 twin turbo Ecoboost motor will never be justified. 2.7 makes plenty of power too.

This just in: person surprised when factors that normally lower fuel economy actually lower fuel economy. Even more so when combined.

Do you not understand how torque works? Torque is a completely meaningless value unless you factor in gearing. You can’t run as much gear in a diesel, so it doesn’t even matter. It’ll be slower than a base 3.3 NA V6, and it won’t have any more towing capacity than the 5.0.

This thing will be $4k more than a 2.7 ecoboost, easy. Probably more once you factor in the huge incentives and such they put on the garden variety ecoboosts. It’ll be way, way more sluggish and have very little extra towing capacity. Why get it?

Something tells me Steve read “Monterroza” (who is actually listed as a spokesperson for “California industrial relations department” in this article) and somehow got “mentiroso” out of it. Idk.

I cannot understand why you’d pay the premium for the 3.0 diesel. These small diesels in full size trucks just don’t make any sense.....and I’m usually a diesel apologist.

According to Ford, XL and XLT with the 3.0-liter diesel are fleet only.

No.

“launches new probe into...” sounds like a reboot of Southpark’s 1st episode.

Of course not. Follow up articles admitting that the initial claims were wrong don’t generate nearly as many clicks as do articles making the accusations. The problem I have with a lot of news and blogs is that they keep pushing forward and never seem to want to look back and admit their previous failures. It is a…

Just ask his fanbois!
