Totally #3. If they had free OTA updates that would be useful, but alas that is not the case. It’s nice as an emergency backup to the phone, but hardly useful for everyday use.

Automakers: makes hybrid models only available in top of the line, most expensive luxury trims.

I’d love to restore a Karmann Ghia. Those things are beautiful. Possibly modernize the powerplant with a newer 2.0T or maybe even convert to electric.

Right? How could he forget Robin Hood: Men in Tights?!

This is an interesting bit of info. I’m in the Seattle area and parking at transit centers is a constant battle. When I commuted pre-Covid the Park & Ride lot near me would be completely full by 7:30 at the latest, so anybody driving in after would be SOL.

I like it, my only concern is if it will be too small for me. But I’d definitely be interested in checking it out further. I’m just excited that Dodge is finally releasing something new. Now they just need to Hellcat it!

I was in a carpool at my old job and we were provided an Uplander and it was terrible! Not very roomy, cheap everything, not much power. As a fleet vehicle it was fine - it got us to work and back. But I couldn’t imagine going to a dealer and choosing to spend my own money on one of them.

No pic, but a 2006 era Ford GT zooming down the freeway

I’m sorry but the GNX is stupid and dumb and the truth needs to be said. 

Wow, glad you’re catching up to the last 10+ years of progress. Did you also know there’s a similar feature on auto up/down windows, where you lightly tap the switch and the window only moves a little bit?

I’ll add the current Mazda MX-30. It’s got a good design, but with only 100 miles of range and priced like other EVs with more than double the range, are you kidding me?

Building off the Bug idea, I think they should bring back a Karmann Ghia as an EV

How about a Miata?

It seems like it’s very much ready to go, why is it not coming out for another year? And does it make me an old geezer that I actually want a start button and not this sit and drive nonsense?

The backend with that double spoiler thing is giving me Merkur XR4Ti vibes

Front visibility was awful, too. I saw in one at an auto show and couldn’t see where the front of the car ended. It was the same with the Civics at that time as well. You could see the wipers and then the hood would curve away into an abyss.

Why tf can’t I get one with a 2nd-row bench? I can’t be the only person who doesn’t want captains chairs.

More importantly, what’s the point of a built-in nav system that doesn’t even give you routing options without a subscription?

I feel like much of this problem would go away if airlines stopped charging for checked bags. It’s ridiculous that they are even allowed to charge us to bring luggage when we travel. Bring back the free checked bags and less people will be trying to cram a giant roller suitcase in the overhead bin.

Quirky ads aside, I wish VW sold the Touareg in the US still. I’ve always liked their styling and would rather have one of them than an Atlas.
