Um, I’m not sure what to tell you, but wagons, manuals, and diesels are very close to death in the US. Manuals and diesels will most likely continue to decline and not come back. Wagons might have a resurgence.

I don’t see 19 cup holders, either.

But does it have bluetooths and ipod interfacers and wireless uploads?

Read this VERY carefully, it may save your life.

Fuck the Jeep Liberty.

Ooh, careful guys, Elon’s gonna call you fake news and have another Twitter fit

Will you still be required to wear a track suit, Ray Ban sunglasses, and gold chains to operate one?
