Special order bro. They probably don’t keep those ones on lots because they don’t think anyone wants them.

I’m guessing you have the non-turbo 2.4 on your v70? I do too. Mine’s an 04, it’s kind of slow, but it’s a 5-speed and gets around that average too. Not to mention a V70 is probably a few hundred pounds heavier than this Jeep and doesn’t have a 9 speed so that’s pretty pathetic mileage compared to what a 14 year Volvo

The Element is way better than this Jeep could ever dream of being.

We don’t have state inspections in Kansas. It’s pretty nice. But then I realized that I live in Kansas...

CP. Way too much money for a car that’s been heavily modified and not necessarily done well. I think that it’s often wise to just walk away from a car that’s been heavily modified. Which is exactly what I would do in this case.

If it were $3000 or so it would be NP all day. It’s not a turbo, it’s not a 3 door hatch or convertible, and it has some paint and body issues. $7200 is just way too much. You could have a nice SPG for that money. CP

The SAAB sensonic manual transmission. It was a cool idea to computerize the clutch but it was nearly impossible to operate at low speeds, as Jeremy Clarkson once demonstrated in an episode of the old Top Gear trying to parallel park a 900 with one of these trannys.

I like riding in the riding in the Embraers and CRJs because they’re all only 3 or 4 abreast. That means less strange/fat people I have to sit next to. It’s so much less claustrophobic. I hate sitting in 6 abreast aircraft like the 737 and A320.

Does any actually call Priuses Prii? I absolutely refuse to because it’s so lame.

I can definitely understand slowing down for potholes, but what annoys me even more is that where I’m from people slow down to unreasonable speeds for speed bumps and those metal sheets they put down during construction like is going to tear their car to shreds if they go over it any faster than 3 mph. Neither of

It’s mainly an aesthetics thing for me. I find column shifters to be tacky, ugly, and old fashioned. I think console shifters are easier to use too. I always go a cog or two too far on a column shifter and it’s just plain irritating! I drive manuals anyhow so I always have a console mounted or floor mounted shifter so

I’ll take the pushbutton shifter over the column anytime.

Not offering enough wagons with a manual transmission (VW, I love you for the Golf Sportwagen). Or only offering the manual on the base model.

I actually completely disagree with this. But to each his own

Yes! These auto shifters made to look like manuals have always really really pissed me off!

The only people who could do seats as well as Volvo was SAAB. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they were also a Swedish company. Volvo seats are deceiving, they don’t even look comfortable when you look at them, but once you sit in them you want to unbolt them from the car and put them in your living room because

GM needs to quit using column shifters on their overpriced full size trucks. Unless the truck has a bench seat, it is completely outdated and tacky.

This is cool and it’s mostly well done, but I’m saying CP, just barely though. You can have a very nice original Jeep for this kind of money. Like I said it’s cool, but it’s not $11,000 cool. It needs a bigger engine and a better top.

The (previous generation) Chevrolet Captiva. Where are people getting these things?! I’ve seen quite a few of them and I am almost certain that they were only intended for fleet use in the United States. It was never listed as a model on Chevrolet’s website. I know all it is was a rebadged Saturn Vue. I know Chevy
