Suspension from the wrong parts bin? Sorry, no. The suspension is, to the best of my knowledge, unique to the Kappa. It’s sort of like a mini-Corvette in its chassis.

I agree, this imbalance needs to stop. We need cars designed and built in America, like the Ford Focus, Buick Cascada or the Chevrolet SS.

If that’s all true, that makes me sad. It’s almost as though they’ve lost something.

Journalism?

Remember the Chevrolet Code 130R Concept Nissan IDX from a couple years ago, and how it was supposed to be some kind of small rear-wheel drive sports coupe for the teens? It didn’t happen.

Or maybe I just like posting pictures in the morning: http://jalopnik.com/tag/images

I think what really happened was the Camaro ate it.

And that explains where all the Freelanders have gone. 5mph crash, $2700.

This whole comments section is just going to be a lot of comments to the effect of “This looks like the GT car from [BRAND]”, isn’t it?

True this.

“Design Engineer” isn’t what you think. It has nothing to do with aesthetics.

...Which he, only moments later, re-gifted to a staffer, stating, “There’s too many words, and they’re not even my kind of words. The best words are mine, not that guys. Give this to (pointing at a random staffer) that guy.” He then whispered to his son-in-law while walking away, “When we get back, bill him for that.”

Finally, someone with the balls to spec a German car in a goddam color! None of this German rainbow shit:

That 50k kia didnt stand out. I guess this doesnt either, there are so many affordable new cars that run 9s. I get it though you rather build your shitbox and bitch about the rich dudes that just buy their cars.

heh

$86K (add dealer market adjustment here) Road car + HP + mega ad hype = can’t make enough.

Could be made.

Ehh... maybe... Most hellcat owners I run into aren’t your millionaire gentleman racers, but instead own a mid level metro area landscaping and sprinkler installer business. They have some scratch to throw together, but mostly want the bragging rights.
