It’s better than taking $200K worth of Benjamins and setting them on fire I suppose. I might look for one in a couple of years in the $25K ballpark.

While the legacy Chrysler V8's were not the last word in reliability here is hoping for the sake of buyers that the 6's are at least as good on the inside. Can be expected to do 250K miles with proper maintenance. Inside meaning below the intake valves.  Direct injection however suggests trouble down the road.

Who is going to get the cars of the disappeared?

I wouldn’t want to be seen within 20 feet of this thing.

Audi’s seem to be way over represented in Michigan in upper income enclaves. As a Midwesterner there is some affinity for the brand which I actually get, but I can’t understand. Well my affinity for the brand ends with whatever the aesthetics are because of the chances of a nightmarish ownership experience. For people

I actually like the coupe more but this has it’s charms.

It’s like the Onion. Take a totally stupid idea and take it seriously all the way to its absurd end.

I don’t know what EPA said back in the day but if you had a GM 454 you got 8 mpg no matter what is was in or how you drove it.

I’ll guess it has a 120 degree crank. It still must sound odd but the odd sound of inline 3's is popular so a variation on the theme is probably going to get a lot of likes. I can’t imagine it’s smoother than an inline 3, not exactly the pinnacle of smoothness so balance shafts for sure. I’m also guessing they are

Sure he could, and I could be named the king of Sweden.

Hell, there are millions of people dreaming of Musk flying them to Mars to die. 

The list of horrible American cars from the 70's is stuffed with sub compact junk, which sold in huge numbers. 450,000 Chevettes in 1980 fergodssake. 544,000 Pintos in 74 or 460,000 Vegas the same year. 

And the Pacifica still has the door interiors coming off the sonic plastic welding machines I built in 2016.

Come on. Everyone knows real lesbians drive Jeeps.

The Ford 500. OMG. Evidently Ford set out to build a car nobody would buy. A design, or style one might say if your almost blind, so bad only 10% of seniors would even consider it. To make sure they didn’t sell they never advertised it. I only discovered it when I visited a dealer to go to the parts department and saw

I used to blame GM for the failure to sell the Volt. Sell as in advertise and educate. I still do but on the other hand the public won’t learn and most probably can’t learn. That doesn’t mean PHEV’s are flawless on practical terms or in terms of cost.

It’s in the region of Magadan made famous by Ewan McGregor’s Long Way Round. The vast emptiness of Russia is astounding.

Get a first gen Transit Connect. It will do 70 all day, except up mountain passes where it might need first gear, Teton Pass for instance, and it shrugs off most winds.

The base model was around $17K.  Paying that would be dumb even if it didn’t have a transmission sure to fail.  There is some price where the risk if not adventure of buying it would be tempting to some people. For me $5K. What about you?

Selling tiny cars in America is stupid and damn near criminal. Who in their right mind even considers the idea? Especially since the gas 500 was a non starter. It boggles the mind how stupid this car is. As I said before, if I win Power Ball and have mansions and hideaways all over I might get some for the flocks of
