I’m getting +/-30mpg in mine. Not bad, but it’s about the same a number of MUCH more powerful car out today. (V6 pony cars, Corvette)

Not really considering it was in the article.

God, what a horrendous redesign. It looks like an 8000 lbs minivan.

Miata is always the answer. I don’t care what the EPA estimates are, anyone who has driven one of these machines extensively will tell you that the amount of fuel you use relative to the amount of time you spend at 5k rpm is shockingly small.

I actually mostly agree with this. I had an early ‘90's (or maybe an ‘89, I forget) Escort with a stick, an dit was actually a fun little car to whale on. I later had the displeasure of driving a slightly newer one with a slushbox and it was mind-numbing.

I had to go 45 miles to find a manual. Does no one know how to use the left foot anymore?

Isn’t the Fiesta ST pretty much the answer to this question? It’s not exactly FAST, but it’s quick, has a manual, and gets pretty damn good fuel economy...

Anything with a manual really. It’s always fun to drive a slow car fast, rarely is it fun to drive a fast car slow

It’s ridiculously hard to get into politics as a grassroots campaign because of the big money involved here. That’s why it’s cool when Deray launched his campaign to be mayor of Baltimore like this but it helped so much that he has a recognizable name and the blue vest helps a lot. I remember an upstart Dem trying to…

I think it’s awesome that you are voting against your own interests and don’t even care!

Sanders does okay with black intellectuals and activists, lower income and young black voters, but the Clintons have been locking up the black establishment, and she is unreachable when it comes to wealthy older black voters.

That is what I had heard but I read that black youth turnout was low.

idk the averages but i know in SC at least that over 60% of the voters were black, but only 1 in 6 voters were under 30

She does well with OLDER African Americans, ie the over 45 crowd. I assume many of the younger folks are voting Sanders but more older people are actually voting. If I can find a statistics based on average age of voters I’ll post it.

The establishment does an incredibly good job of organizing GOTV efforts in the black community. She is the establishment. She is also running against a crazy looking old white dude from Vermont...which on it’s surface is not appealing.

The Clintons made their entry into politics via courting black southerners...they know how to pander to them.

a) shes a household name, especially in the south where she and her husband are v popular

Has there been any insight into why she does so well with African American voters given her spotty history regarding their interests? It seems so bizarre to the point of being baffling.

There’s literally no plastic on the steering wheel, apart from the thin shiny black ring around the logo. The rest is all leather (including the airbag cover) and milled, brushed aluminium.

I’m going to buck the trend.
