Humorous discussion on plug types. Yeah, I’m a EV poo-poo-er. Don’t see how current technology can ever be worthwhile. But now you guys have raised the stakes with plug types. I can see it now, 8.2 miles of battery left and you have to drive by 17 (yeah, right) stations of the wrong type of plug. Immature…

Always read the fine print.
Does the price include removing the certain carbon buildup on the intake valves?*
Cause this is what happened with my glass Miata window on the track...you better believe my next one was plastic. Also, over time the top will start to unseal from the heavy glass window anyway. Also easier to wear the zipper out. I liked my glass window more for sure but I don’t think they’re really that much more…
Some of us NEED trucks for work, but yes that segment of people are the ones causing prices to rise.
Do you want an answer to that? It’s America. They’re all depressed, anxious, overweight, lacking in healthcare, worrying about themselves/their kids, working too much, panicking that other people are not working as hard and thinking this is the downfall of their country, angry about anything and everything, and buying…
I find the current truck trends to be extremely aggravating. Here are a few pet peeves:
This looks amazing!
...and be 1/5 as reliable
What a great article. This makes the Millenia make so much more sense, and really makes me wonder about what could have been. The Millenia felt so far ahead of it’s time, and so much nicer than it had any business being as a mere Mazda.
If you can wrench or are willing to pay someone to do the dirty deeds, then this is definitely a Nice Price.
Neutral: I can honesty say I’ve never even briefly considered safety on any of my automotive purchases.
The car is nice looking and may very well drive nicely. But for the love of all that is holy you couldn’t pay me to deal with nightmare situation of what is most like an absolutely unreliable Chinese car backed by a completely unknown entity.
If you can hold off for another year, when the recession kicks in, I’d bet that the incentives will be decent.
Yes, but which one would you rather have if it’s got 150k miles, you’ve beaten the crap out of it and you’re alone in the middle of desert? Disclaimer: I have no horse in this race.
I wish there were a factory option to lower it 2.5" all around. It’s just too tall. Hell, Ford should have made people that wanted that extra clearance opt for the off road package, probably would have pushed sales of that option through the roof. Personally, I don’t need my ass way up in the air to feel like a man, I…
“I would totally buy that if it was in the US and under $30K” that lurk around these parts, this is your moment!
No mention of the economic crisis of 2010 in Russia or the fact that GAZ manufactures no passenger vehicles and the Sebring was an attempt to return to this segment.
I’m glad you went through it and are showign that yeah, you probably can’t just build this in your garage for half the price. Unless you’re a master mechanic/craftsman/welder. Then you could do it at cost and a year’s worth of your own time.
