Ford is selling Fiestas! They’re just not making as much money on them as they do on an overpriced CUV. But as a business owner, I know that sometimes you take a hit on one item to build goodwill and future business, and to keep you competitors from making those earnings.

Do crossover buyers buy chairs, beds, and couches that are at ass height too because they have weak fucking legs?

A unregulated, anonymous internet is the cause. It allows the extremists and crazies to find each other, connect and encourage each other to do these things. Toronto would not have happened if 4chan wasn’t anonymous because 4chan wouldn’t exist if people had to take ownership and responsibility for their actions and…

#1. We need to up gas taxes. Buck a fucking gallon or some truly painful amount. We haven’t learned a goddamn thing.

You’re talking fully out your ass here.

Mazda6 - $21,950, 42.2 / 38.7 legroom, 26/35mpg 

You go into their store and they try to talk your choice of bike down unless you get the most expensive one. You get off a different bike and they tell you that they’re glad you’re choosing to get a “real” bike. You wave to a harley rider and 50% of the time they don’t wave back.

1st Gear: I think it has little to do with Millennials not wanting what their parents have and more having to do with the fact that there aren’t a whole lot of Millennials that have $40K burning a hole in their pocket for a weekend toy.

I hope Harley goes out of business. I hate their bikes, and loathe most of their clientele.

And yes. A Federal fuel tax increase is wayyyyy overdue.

Let me finish this for you; “Oh, wait...we will actually be forced to examine the damage the to the environment and inefficient bloat that comes from a culture telling itself that soccer moms need to drive an Expedition to the store to get Captain Crunch for their two kids.

Yes. And while I wouldn’t raise them too much and cause another malaise era, but making trucks (and C/SUVs by extension) too expensive for the soccer mom/testicleless husband (I like to sit up higher) idiocy.

Want to create a strong demand for fuel efficient vehicles?

“You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.”

You really need to drive more cars.

You are really dumb if you think modern engines lack low end torque. The tiny OEM turbos nowadays have excellent low end torque. The extra gears are literally just there for the gains in efficiency. The engine can be at its sweet spot regardless of the road speed.

5th Gear: The reasons why Americans are abandoning small cars and sedans is many-folded with each element feeding the other.

The general public, and people in general are idiots.

that is how we ended up with the Mustang II and the S/CUV craze.

I can’t wait for the average American to be bitching about petrol prices being higher to fill up their F-150s or Yukons.

It will be 60k.
