Hyundai Elantra GT - Can find them all day at this price.

Crosstrek does better than you think. We went from a Fit to an Outback and went from 33mpg average to 25mpg. The Impreza in normal driving can keep it close to 30-32 mpg. The trick is that you can’t hypermile for any added benefit. You are stuck with their “max cap” I could coax the Fit to averaging 40-44 in the best…

that is highway cruising... more like high teens for any stop/go traffic

Power seats. I want a mechanical mechanism and will avoid trims with powered seats.

Mid-atlantic. Southern Tip of that megaregion.

Grew up in a Chrysler household. Nothing but Chryslers in the family. Since it was a Chrysler family, our credit was shot.

I could not think of a single reason why someone would want a Nissan Titan over any other option? What did Nissan do other than an “also ran?” which I guess was their overall strategy. Overall it was fewer options, with less capacity, and lower fuel economy than anything else. Considering how bad Nissan interiors are…

That isn’t just in the tech side. I think there is a line something like “your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash”

What about the recall for all those under-insured Nissans with un-repaired body damage? There are so many, it has to be a factory defect no? It seems like 1/3 of those things have sideswiped something, 1/3 have had a offset crash taking out a headlight/fender, and last 1/3 just had not had the chance to do either the…

Not necessarily. I have not seen that in a lot of LAPP/TIP oriented projects. The largest cost-driver for a lot of transportation projects in built (urban or suburban, even quasi rural) is land acquisition costs. A major exurban greenway can go dozen of miles for the cost of a mile of urban greenway. Even cities…

Can confirm. Subaru seats stink. 1999 was meh - ok even. 2014 OB is worse than a Prius. Forester seats are worse (shorter) than the OB. Even 20-40 minutes can cause back ache. I am willing to sell ASAP just because of that but thankfully, it is not my DD

First, look up Automobility by John Urry -2000ish. Worth it. Looking at the more social demand of dependency (with Kenworthy/Newman being one of the environmental creaters with their sourcebook). Next, ask yourself if “bans” are hitting on the concept. Tactical urbanism might do a bit more but still, a long way to go.

All practicality aside? True bucket list?

Updating for inflation: $230,000 and a free gas $100 card with the purchase of an extended warranty.

Really, wow, even google can’t tell ‘em apart.

A mopar whaletail looks like this, no?

Truth be told, I confuse the G. Wagoneer with an old Camry “booty” Wagon

Yeah. That concept to make a few “luxury” models 5-10 years ago is working. Spending 50K+ 10 years ago on a Genesis Sedan or K900 was a WTF moment when round-headlight Tiburons or the not-really-a-Civic-looking Kia Spectra could be seen in the wild. Now, it is just a normal car and (ignoring some Theta engine issues)…
