People were not begging for power... they wanted displacement without delivery. Sticker-packages more than IRS. Forgo the 4-wheel vented discs in favor of Red Velvet Velour and Hubcaps.

As a former fleet manager.... including motor pools....

Lets just say that really any best “factory” hot rod would just be a list of MOPAR products. THAT is what they do. From Demon to Viper... even hatches and SRT-4.

At this point with the Commonwealth (and a RVA native here) you really have to either be truly out-of-state ignorant, as dimwitted as Dinwittie County, or give ZERO Fauquirs to others. Basically, any speed limit sign is a potential speed trap *IF* you can actually go the speed limit which is impossible within 50…

What sedan got a major PHEV rework during that time? In that 8 year span, what PHEV sedans were even offered? We are lucky that the Fusion hung around as long as it did (good or bad). Sure a few added PHEV but that was with entire relaunches, not refeshes of existing platforms. I would take a flawed execution (limited…

Not in 2012. Yeah, but both the Prime and the Niro launched several years after the Fusion PHEV. The first PHEV Prius range was only 2/3 of that of the Fusion. Later it would get better but the Fusion had 20mi of range in 2012. That was significant when others PHEVs only offered 10 or less EV miles.

Yeah, that was kinda a miss... but when looking at all PHEV of that area, they all had issues like this. The Acoord had a range of what, 10 miles. The Volt had an unusable back seat and tunnel. And the Prius looked bad... and was about to get worse. And the PHEV Mitsubishi was, well.... less said the better.

Second Gen Ford Fusion

I disagree completely. One because of a strawman with the housing analogy.

Alabama: We will work your unwanted child until the age of consent.... which is only 16 - but hey, here is a minimum of 12 loophole.

I leaned GM with this thinking. The Model T was the single hit (and liability in the 1920s) it was GM’s diversification in numerous models in the 1910s/1920s that overtook Ford. Why Sloan beat Henry.  

Are we going by the number of models or the number of units produced.

I say the last Gen wasn’t gaudy enough... I want Lambo owners to tell them to tone it down.

Limited Slip Differential - particularly in my MR2

Toyota Prius (2001) and it is not even close.

Now we know who is a HOA president lurking here...

ehhhhh, not really. The current Blazer has more in common with Celebrity Wagon (see it can go “offroad” if you consider graded gravel offroad).

I think the only miss is that it isn’t a liftback. Otherwise I am on-board even with the SUS.

I won’t forgive Chevy for the miss that is the relaunch of the “Blazer” being a soft crossover (while seeing the bronco) OR letting Kia claim the K-5 model...

With home values as high as they are, I am not sure if $300,000 gets you a two car garage on a racetrack anymore. Maybe a shed but I will take whatever I can get for 300,000 that is pushing distance to a decent trackday.
