The 307 GT Féline was never considered a hot hatch and it was actually not a bad version of the car, just not a very sporty car.

Renault owns Avtovaz (and thus Lada) which is the biggest manufacturer in Russia and Russia is the second biggest market of Renault after France so it’s not that easy to say “fuck it” as other manufacturers. Read more
A lot has improved. Absolutely. Still though, the US is lagging behind in this context. Quite a lot. In my humble perspective this is caused by a lack of incentive. Read more
Worth also bearing in mind that the US has probably the cheapest fuel costs in the western world Read more
Dude, modern Alfas are not a ‘nightmare to maintain’. They require very little maintenance actually. The 500+ hp QV models are very complex, not unlike any AMG or M car, or ANY Audi model for that matter, but those are expensive performance cars, not commuter Corollas.

I still believe dusters are some of the best SUVs for offroading, simply because you won't have to cry every time you get a scratch or bump. They are capable and cheap, though not as capable as a Jimny (but more comfortable on the road)
They’re great little cars. I drove on for a couple weeks in Mex a couple years back. Barebones with a manual and the thing was great for what it was.
These numbers are not surprising. I’ve definitely known people who wouldn’t even take 4WD vehicles places they KNEW I had driven FWD with lower clearance. People spend too much for capabilities, then are afraid to mess up their expensive vehicle by using them.
Shouldn’t this be published in The Onion?
So when does Jason try to import one of those?
That’s an insane, American-centric take on a global marketplace.
Basically, they are trying to force optional safety equipment to become a standard feature with the car. I don’t hate it, even though the approach is a bit ham fisted.
