this is what I read in the article. “That has resulted in the car exhibiting a mere 13,200 miles and presenting an appreciably under-used appearance”

I am not sure if CNET experienced the truck overheating otr the Focus derived trans/transfer case setup overheating, but yes, that is what I saw as well when I was considering telling my dad to buy one. He has had the issue with the Focus DCT in his 2013 and was wanting to get out of it now. I could not suggest the…

I would say it is only appealing because we cannot get either, the modified or original version. After that the market for more door Old VW golf/Rabbit wagons in the us is pretty small. add it the fact that the Toyota Probox is using at best 100 or so horsepower. I believe it is a good all around basic vehicle and…

yep, gearing would be the limiting factor. it still probably hits an aerodynamic brick wall at around 70 mph, but if the Gears in the axles negate the tire size, then it should be fine. MPG though, that might not be that great, those axles alone add a bunch of weight.

yep, lots of little things, but no carb, so that is a plus. Honestly I would probably buy it because of the ultra low miles, but if it did not have 6 tumblers I know nobody would believe anyone that it is that low of miles. I would want it just for weekend car shows though and then after i got bored with it I would…

probably true as long as you steer clear of Alpine and true AMG variants. 

https://nypost.com/2020/12/22/fauci-says-new-covid-19-strain-from-uk-is-likely-in-us/ Interesting they close down the UK a few days before Brexit when our Expert Fauci basically says the strain is likely in the US already and if that is true then it is likely everywhere already.

I would say you might want to rethink impractical. looks like small mini vanish crossover. probably very practical for a family on a budget. but Ugly definitely describes it.

I won’t attempt the slideshow since it either grays out the photos if I resize the viewing window and I won’t do an actual slide show, but I did see a smart Fourtwo with the bumpers off and knobby tires for 3K and thought of you immediately

Other than the Lawsuit about premature wear on the early units, I have not heard much negative about that motor, in fact most of the time the biggest thing people say is that German cars without turbos were far better than the turbo units today. 

Well I suppose if you bought a house without a roof on it yet and called it a house, then you would have to live in it, but since that only affects you, I could give shit. now if your house would barrel into me while you slept. it would be more of an issue.

It is a bit closer to 5,000 lbs I believe. and yes the name is the problem as are the people like D-Livs that share the road with me. I would have no issue if those people auto piloted into the back of one another and the guard rails while they did everything but actually drive. but I don’t want to share the road with…

Cool suicide doors, but I immediately compared it to a Plymouth. I honestly thought that was what it was at first glance.

I do miss the Avalanche, just wish they had figured out a midgate window or roof fold down system so it could be used without exposing the front passengers to the elements. That was seriously the only draw back I had with those vehicles. The First gen Aztek Cladding could even be over looked. 

2019-2020 was not the best for GM Design Engineers. They allowed that upstart ram to outsell them because they thought the honking ugly Front end was OK. Though it can be fixed a little at the cost of being called a Bro dozer.

NO...you are leading to the darkside of the force with that kind of concession. 

Screw that, make it a full convertible. I miss K5 Blazers, scouts and Broncos with not top at all. I am ok with a rollbar hoop if NHTSA gets in the way. I can say that Targas and Tees seem like a good idea until you realize they are a pain to take off and put on. if they could make a targa like a moon roof that could…

The guppy Mouth everything is seriously bad on most brands, but the Sonata is the one that looks the worst to me. though I loathe the faux vents of 2019 as well.

The 4.0 is considered one of the more reliable Mercedes engines, but the Turbos inside the V of the Block seem to be the main issue with long term reliability. I am sure it is a thing where there is a process for maintenance and cool down periods and whatever, but the main complaint I hear is excessive heat due to…

Peugeot already has working Fully BEV vehicles so maybe if you scale it up they could easily make a Chrysler BEV to compete with Cadillac and Tesla in the over priced BEV market. I mean it’s a long shot, but the 300 is losing a lot of luster and the Pacifica, while good, hardly seems like a luxury brand vehicle.
