“But for Ford and GM, it’s pretty curious, since small cars are gateway drugs for automakers, aimed at capturing younger, cost-conscious buyers early”

haha. Younger buyers are actually the least brand loyal and, like yourself, just buy whatever they like.

Ehh, I wouldn’t call NJT awesome. It is very slow and very expensive. And parking around EWR is actually affordable. Just not at the airport itself.

They best, quickest way to get to EWR ( or anywhere in NJ) is to drive or take Uber. Getting to EWR via mass transit is not convenient if your coming west from NYC, nor if your come east or north from New Jersey.

Lawyers to fighting current cab companies/medallion owners lobbying efforts.

I like buying 3 year old cars. Someone else already ate the massive depreciation and I can still get a fairly new car and drive it for a long time.

I’m not sure if this article is a joke... or of the author is really being serious.  

I don’t think it looks good either.  Looks like they tried too hard. 

I think they tried to copy the accord. 

I was going to say the rear looked like the rear of a Volvo s90.

The convertible top and removable doors.

But honestly, I prefer my JKU instead. If I wanted a pick up truck to use as a pick up truck, I’d get a old 90's Chevy C/K or an Ford F150. I’d want to use a truck as a truck and not worry about how it looks and keeping it clean.

Yep... here in NJ, took me 3.5 hours to go 12 miles. Small cars spun out everywhere. People just abandoned their cars in the middle of the road. I was so glad I was driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee with big A/T tires. Drove through what seemed like 12 inches of snow like it was nothing.

Worth it to not have to live in PA.

4 hours? That’s not bad. Took me 4 hours to get from NJ to Long Island via the Cross Bronx Expressway one time.  

I, for one, prefer buttons.  Cars with touch screens are the worst.  

“Don’t stand at the top or bottom of the damn escalator like it’s your living room”

That’s pretty reliable for NYC Subway standards.

Lives in NYC... yet complains about noise.

“and it’s my goal to get in at 9AM, and be out by 5PM, the lost two hours of gridlock”

I drive older cars without many safety features.
