Not a gm fan, but gm switches and buttons vs italien interiors that fall apart? Not to mention this is a 14 year old interior that is very expensive to replace.

Problem is its a 14 year old ferrari with an f1 transmission. If it had a manual? Yeah, could see it, but its an older model with high cost of ownershop and a crap transmission that is a regular expensive maintenance item ontop of the normal ferrari costs.

Uh, hate to break it to you but we have a history of dumping money into things and walking away. B2's, Seawolf Class Subs, f-22's, XB-70, LCS (The gun especially), the government has no problem sinking a huge amount of money into something and changing its mind. Now, some of these were because the development took so…

Uh no, I went from a ranger to a colorado. I know a few who went to tacoma’s, one or two that went to frontier’s. The transit is nice if you aren’t going to throw crap in it you want to just hose out.  It also has the downside of moving things you don’t want letting bugs crawl out of and into your vehicle.

Not once you add destination/taxes. Dealers won’t haggle on them, not unless you are buying a fleet. You also are getting a stripper truck. Start ticking the boxes to get 4x4 or an extended cab and it will add up real fast even if you want to keep the minimum amenities.

Some people use trucks as trucks on a regular basis. Work white collar, but fixing up a house and hobbies that require hauling mean a hatch won’t do. Considered trailing, but then you have to store/register/maintain a trailer, storage being the real problem. The other problem is that trailer ratings are non-existent…

Problem isn’t comparing an old F150 to a new one. The problem is comparing a Ranger/S10 to a Tacoma/Colorado/New Ranger. Have a Colorado after having had a Ranger can say they are big and it causes issues.

This is why I went with my NC club spec over a redline or gxp. That and the fact that the trunk is worthless without the top down and full with it down. With the maita under 20 mph I could one hand it up/down while driving. Was great for when rain kicked in. I could also put my top down on a trip while having a decent…

Chevy engine and transmission will probably be reliable, not much else. #waitingOnTheLemonLaw

So what people wanted was an advanced, lightweight, simple, fun to drive, sports car. What they got was an advanced, heavy beefer, meh compared to everyone else’s offerings, sports car.

Bitching about my lemon aside. I have 19k miles with a 1200+ mile trip this weekend. Of that 3-4k is with me towing a uhaul trailer. this is in little over a year of ownership.

Except the Colorado is an unreliable pos...

Its a car that drives well, but that is it. Its underpowered for its price bracket. Its not useful as a dd or even as a trip car. Its very niche and franky for that money I’d rather get a lotus exige.  So no, problem was the car. 

Test drove a miata a week ago friday, can confirm terrible experience.

Wait, they couldn’t sell a tiny, overpriced, badly performing vehicle with a terrible warranty?
I remember cross shopping one in 09. Fun to drive around a parking lot, paddle shifters were a horrible joke, warranty was 2 years, but it cost more than  a yaris. MPG was not that great relative to the yaris either. I…

So, in his eyes its ok to blame us for a series of bad choices 50 years ago? Wonder what he would think if America had invaded china and had treated its people like science experiments on a mass scale? If only there was some sort of place one could learn about these things...

It was my mother’s first car. (She started driving late). It was a pos. It might have had more hp, but they had long term reliability issues. They did not do well in wrecks. The paint peeled. It was a shitbox that happened to be good for some types of racing, but it was a shitbox for a dd.

Why not? Because having DD’d a miata for years. Ground clearance is garbage in any amount of snow. It won’t suddenly make the miata better in bad weather.

As a means of making the car easier to drive? Its one of the more forgiving rwd vehicles out there. A viper this is not and so I am not seeing an additional need…

Uh no, if they are getting taxed as a business, they do not take in 72k a year. They take in much less compared to someone who works an 8-5 and takes in 72k a year.

Sorry suing gm over my second lemon colorado in under a year. They struggle to build trucks, let alone sports cars.
