My parents’ 1977 Chevy Impala. Great car to learn in because it was simple and easy to drive.

For the 2014 model year, they redesigned the interior and updated it significantly, with the most obvious change being the shifter- it moved from the console to the dash next to the column, freeing up much more room for police equipment in the center console. ND.

I would want to know about reliability, seeing as it’s an all-new platform and powertrain, but I’m guessing there’s no way to determine that in such a short period of time.

In the race to eventually replace my first-gen Scion xB when the time comes, the last-gen Soul turbo was in the top three, if not in second place to the Mazda CX-5 with the turbo engine, but with this update, the Soul has essentially dropped out of contention. I want something that has at least double the horsepower…

As others have stated, any U2 list that doesn’t include “Bullet the Blue Sky” is null and void. Here is my personal top 3:

Also my favorite 80s power ballad:

You say yours has been solid, and that’s a good thing, but it is the reliability that has been a problem overall. My friend owns one and she had to replace the engine- thankfully under warranty- with only normal mileage accumulated. She picked up the pace of her payment schedule after that, and it’s now paid off, with…

DDIs are fine if they’re signed and signaled properly, but they’re not good for high-volume interchanges. A single-point would be better for that. A DDI was recently installed near me, replacing a traditional diamond that was way over capacity. However, the DOT stupidly placed traffic signals at the end of the ramps,…

By the looks of it, the bollard did enough of a job to keep the impact from being fatal. I doubt they’re designed to stop a 3 ton SUV cold.

Watch out for sleepy bedroom suburbs who don’t trim trees at intersections that could possibly hide a stop sign at night. *epic eyeroll*

I remember my grandfather considering buying one of these in AWD right after they came out to replace a late-80s Pontiac Parisienne wagon. Before that, he had a couple of Suburbans, so he was looking to get back to a high-riding (relatively speaking), all-four-wheels-driven SUV. He instead went with a then-brand new…

Like Mary in today’s WCSYB, I have a first-gen Scion xB. She hit on a couple of things about it that I echo- the ride is firm, so it’s not and ideal road tripper, but it handles well. Also, it’s severely underpowered- when running the A/C in the summer and driving on the interstate, you have to floor it to get any…

So with the Impreza going hatchback-only, does that mean the next WRX will be a hatchback?

I’m going to do a Buy or Sell on your bullet points:

It’s fitting your lead picture is from Northern Iowa, as we’re having a blizzard today with below zero temps and -40F wind chills for the next three days.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I was 14 in 1988 and just one year later the four door 1979 version of this is what I had to drive to and from school, because my parents thought their 1977 Impala was too much, even though that’s the car in which I learned to drive. No. Not cool. Not in the least.

1979 Chevy Chevette. They bought it new in ‘79 and kept it until I wrecked it in the summer of 1991. After that came a Honda civic wagon. They never thanked me for ridding me of that turd for them.

Ugh. I have a soft spot for the 1977-90 GM B-bodies, as I have owned a ‘77 Impala Coupe and an ‘89 Caprice 9C1, and the car on which I learned to drive was my dad’s ‘77 Impala sedan, along with my grandfather owning a late-model Pontiac Parisienne wagon, and my great aunt had an absolute cherry, top-of-the-line, loaded…
