Interesting. It will be in fun to watch companies offload customer service responsibilities to AI and then be held liable when the AI does something or offers guidance that creates harm or loss. I bet the big law firms are salivating at the idea of going after the uber-rich tech companies.

Counterpoint: is there such a thing as a bad convertible?

This just strikes me as more of a list of vehicles that people want to buy — for the vehicles’ inherent values and good traits – and the market refelcting prices accordingly. Much of those markups are at the street-level (dealer), so if anything the manufacturers are offering TOO GOOD of a value and leaving money (for…

I think cars and trucks are more of a value than ever before. Look where we are vs. 3 decades ago:

I was intrigued by the MID4 back in the day, too. I’d say it’s aged pretty well. 

CRX!

Seems pretty reasonable if wanting a Rolls/Bentley is your thing. For the 70 year old demographic, this is a lot easier to get in and out of compared to a C8 Vette and it makes you look smarter than driving a Hellcat. 

This could probably be done at about 3200lbs. To be fair, I’d take a small screen in there to help keep costs down (fewer gauges/switches/HVAC controls). 

MR2

Are you kidding me? That MR2 is ragged out, rusted out, and will be a sloppy nightmare. That’s at BEST a $2000 car, and even then you’d hate it every day you owned it. 

Me too.

The really disturbing thing about these things is that every time my wife sees one she says it’s neat. I may have married the wrong person. 

Why can’t the Big Three get it? Build EVs that a LOT of people will want at a price they can afford. The “I can afford a $70K vehicle” crowd already has theirs.

Make a Venn-diagram of all the reasons to own this thing – Interesting Vehicle, Decent Reliability, Reasonable Price – and you’ll be looking at more or less one big circle. Pretty easy NP for anyone automotive-inclined that wants a car to drive and tinker with.

As they say: “test in an inconspicuous area first.”

I’ve never been a Chrysler fan – never wanted one, and probably never will – but I need to stand up for the 1980s K-car convertibles. Why? Because they’re the ones that brought drop-tops back to U.S. roads. America had pretty much given up on convertibles around 1975; without Chrysler we might still be stuck with…

First thing that came to my mind, too. 

Jeeze, the truck in that first pic looks as beaten and tired as some 35 year old GM J-car sitting in the very back row of a used car lot outside of Cleveland.

Nice pump and dump “accident”. I sure hope the SEC looks to see what insiders might have bought or sold stock yesterday. Could be a lot of angry shareholders, too.

Vomiting in disgust when you realize that $16K could have bought you a lot of nicer campers, or about 100 nights in Hampton Inns across the country.
