I've been thinking about my next car. Currently have a 2015 Mazda 6. Should I trade it in someday for the new generation Volvo V60? Because wagon. And Mazda is too coward to bring the 6 wagon to North America. 

Be sensible and buy a CX-5? I got my wife to do that. So that I could be non-sensible and buy a *checks notes* Mazda 6.

Instead you all recommend something that pleases you not the reader.

Would vs. Wouldn’t Part II?

I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who noticed that add to the tanker. I thought it was a joke about the color of the car.

My condolences to him. For being a Flames fan, of course.

Definitely on the right track here. My car is (was?) black, as is this FC, but is in various shades of primer and had more than a couple panels replaced from a red car. Just say I painted it and got it all back together? I could see if she wants to go away for a weekend while I do all the work.

The keyword being replaced, which means I’d have to get rid of the current one.

That interior picture is a 1989-1991 version. Not sure when the CD players first appeared, but they may have been around in 1988.

FCs have their own unique set of things that go wrong. Wiper switches are notoriously bad. It’s usually a matter of opening it up and replacing some components, but excellent soldering skills are a must if you wish to do it yourself. The differential mount near where the driveshaft meets the diff often goes bad. You…

I definitely agree they are going to rise. The prices for nice examples have steadily risen to where now we are debating if it’s a $10,000 car. Ten years ago, buying a car like this for $6,000 was probably an option.

This car is less than 2 hours away from me. I could probably talk him down, but adding another FC to the garage is probably definitely going to anger my wife. At least this one runs though.

This is a very tough one. As an unabashed FC lover, allow me to elaborate.

She looks like she is about to break out into a soliloquy on the virtues of the Dauphine. 

My guess is it could be a deterrent for those that wanted the base model, as a potential $7,500 off of a $35,000 car is a much greater percentage than a $50,000+ car. People already willing to spend $50,000 on an automobile can much better absorb that hit. 

She didn’t just not notice she now had an Infiniti instead of a Nissan, she didn’t notice she was now driving a fucking crossover instead of a compact sedan.

They’ve shown two different racecars. We’ve seen the thing in a wrap dozens of times. They can’t just show us the damn car at this point?! Come on, Toyota!

This has reached the point of absolute ridiculousness. 

Fancy Kristen wears multiple shirts at her picnics while us plebes only wear one and sweat in it constantly.

The mini cargo vans can certainly do most of the things people want small pickups for. And I would also agree people will never love them as much as the compact trucks.
