The Renault is much much nicer.

Exactly. Crossovers are hatchbacks with lift kits. Wagons actually have a useful amount of cargo space in the back.

What is most amazing to me is how well the passenger compartment of modern cars stay together these days. 20 years ago that car would have been literally wrapped around that pole.

Exactly. Although there are Fiesta ST’s and Fiat 500 Abarth’s available for true entry level fun, there needs to be more of those types of cars available. Where is the Versa Note Nismo, Mitsubishi Mirage Ralliart or Spark RS? These cars are already made so is it really that hard to throw a turbo in them and make…

I think it is awesome and would drive one in a second. But this is coming from someone who would love to have a Yugo so maybe my sense of reasoning is a bit off.

She is 5

I have 3 nieces and 1 nephew and she is the youngest of them. She is also the sharpest by far.

I have one for my dog too and it is so nice to not have to worry about the dog hair/dirt. We also have these things that cover the door panels just in case she decides to jump on them if she sees a rogue squirrel or bunny. They really need to make kid versions of them.

I do not have any kids but I have nieces and nephews that I take around and they know that I have no food rule in my car. I tell them to look at their parents car and then ask me again why I do not allow food in my car. As they have gotten older I progressively let them do more in the car. Now they are up to being…

I was just talking about just this over the weekend. I will not buy a car that is a boring color. I am so tired of seeing rental car white, depression grey and silver. As if a base model Corolla with plastic wheel covers is not already sad enough, you then paint it GREY!

Poor Suburban. :-(

Well if someone is looking at purchasing Elio, I would think that cheap would be their number one concern since crash safety and longevity are not concerns at all. 

That’s how I think nowadays. A nice place for my dog that can also be a place to haul yard stuff on some weekends.

Yes, yes it is. But, it is so convenient.

GMC has tried this before. I did not like it then but now that I am older and could actually use a vehicle like this, I think it was a great idea and I wish that they still made a car like this.

That was from a search I did on Cars.com. There are always big rebates and discounts on them.

Honestly, I think that the Elio looks pretty cool but I can not see them selling these things by the hundreds of thousands. Maybe they would be better off if they could sell them in India and China. That is assuming that they will ever be built to begin with and that is very doubtful. Elio may have been better off…

Oh and I don’t understand why more cheap cars do not have more exposed metal on the interior. I love the way the door panels are done on this car. I would much rather touch painted metal than cheapo plastic.

I like the Neon interior but that Cavalier is just grotesque. They feel grotesque to be in as well. Old GM was just so so bad.
