The entirety of this debacle still makes no sense to me. They gravely miscalculated how many figures to make, but the basic concept here was brilliant. I still don’t understand why they didn’t give it another year or two. I think it would have caught on even more, if given time.

Seriously though F that Civic for little safer than a motorcycle.

For me, the 2 kids + strollers + accessories + shopping if their mom is working + my mom (sometimes) + occasionally having to pick stuff up that’s bulky + jobs that DEMAND we be able to drive through snow (AWD) meant something that could haul. There are zero wagon choices that are sporty, sanely priced, and capable. I…

Ahh ok, I didn’t read that part though I skimmed the letter. I know it’s soul sapping but a midsized crossover is hands down the best family car the world has ever made. They can babyseat, which even cars like the Accord/Camry struggle with, some of them are bank vault safe (Pilot, XC90, and the new Acadia were the…

I don’t know, I watch a lot of movies. Some very good (Fences was the best movie I’ve seen recently) and some that are quite awful. I think the first mistake that people make is trying to judge it by the previous versions. Do the people who seem to be forming the Cult of OMG This Sucks! approach their relationships…

You’d be shocked and horrified by what goes on at old folks homes... it’s a car that says, “yes ladies, I still can.”

When you have kids they aren’t twice a year anynmore :-).

for the passenger side if your wife/partner isn’t with you. When I had my Volvo she sat behind me for drives.

The first thing you have to decide, honestly, is how much you care about the child vs. the driving. If it’s the child, the list of cars gets a lot narrower because you need to at least have some sort of collision mitigation and a 5 star rating in everything INCLUDING the small offset crash. There are still cars out…

Did they hire Porsche’s design team for this project?

What taxes are going up?

This car was ruined the day it got that engine. It doesn’t really need 100 more hp. It does need 100 lb/ft of torque though. The base WRX engine, even slightly detuned, would be plenty. Cars that go slow with flair are useless. Cars that go slow with flair and don’t do anything else well... are one of these two…

I’ll use this analogy: What if all the NFL broadcasts on television were announced purely by current and former NE Patriots players. Certainly there have been enough great players that we would get solid commentary about the game... from the perspective of the Patriots. It would be monotone and boring and eventually…

I bought my cars off the lot in order to get a good discount but I’m sure some manufactures offer that :-). It may still be a dealer installed accessory though, I’m not entirely sure. I do know that if preserving your resale value on a higher end car, one wants to avoid any re-sprays because it may affect the car…

Eagle Talon - Paprika *yeah I know it was the 90s, it was rust colored

I have a 911, which are one of the more vulnerable cars in that regard. I always have kept a clear bra on it for that reason. If you’re a more skilled person than I am you might even be able to do it as a DIY job, there are sites that sell kits for certainly less than a re-spray might be down the road. Nice cars!

It has been scientifically proven and if I’m not mistaken, written about on your site, that people who fill in the spaces that lazy, inattentive drivers leave in lines reduce traffic by increasing its density. They ought to give a ticket to the complete idiots who stop 3 car lengths behind the nearest car, or merge a…

38k???? Jeesh, that’s barely more than a v6 Accord!!!

Just good ol’ boys.

I’m bummed that you can’t get a pleather interior “base” model with the good motor. To get some guts, life starts at 56k.
