The only thing keeping me from buying electric is the cost of the car and the cost of electricity. In the Northeast our rates are high, which dulls the savings. Add to that the fact that a moderate hatchback (bolt/leaf) vs equivalent gas car is a $15k-20k premium, and I'll be buying gas for the foreseeable future.

Dear American Car Enthusiast,

This x100. Its not the IFS the killed the FJ as look at the 4Runner is had a great following and aftermarket. Its the fact it didn’t have a removable top and doors and that it was only a 2 door. The 4 Door Wranglers make up over 80% of total sales. If Jeep had only kept the Wrangler a 2 Door it might have died off as…

If the Bronco comes with IFS, it will be a one generation and done.

As a past FJ owner and current Wrangler owner I disagree. They are already making it in both 2 door and 4 door versions, and removable doors and top. All things Toyota failed to do which left the FJ to die. 

Which do you think does more to support American jobs/families:

OHMYGOD. You got a removable top and doors. Just be OK with the fact that it’s not a lifted ford focus.

A: Usually solid axles are stronger than independent suspension. Most of this relates to the axle shafts and how a solid axle will place the u-joints or CV-joints at a lower answer; the technical answer is longer than I want to get into here.

Jeep needs some competition

How this sort of shit is remotely legal baffles me.

I have a MGB that I love to death. I love driving around in that car! But every time I start it up, there’s a little part of me that says, “Damn the expense... you’ll live longer in a new Miata”

What about all the people unable to afford all the newest cars out on the market.   They are driving cars with FAR worse crash ratings compared to the standards required today.   Should all of those people be worried?  Scrap and ditch all those vehicles?  lol    Nahh.     I’m sure all of these vehicles are still safer…

Why fuck me? I’m honestly curious.

Am I the only one that feels semi-skill labor jobs shouldn’t pay too much? Why do people feel they are entitled to a 1/4 acre single family home with a high school diploma?

Doing the same thing here, except it was not entirely about being bored and more about having bad luck with the last couple cars we owned outright (and of course, right after the warranty expired). After being stranded and having some nasty unexpected repairs over several years, I’m perfectly fine with a constant…

I think you nailed it.

Rich people, who before bought Benzes and Bimmers, bought Model Ses to ‘one-up’ the neighbors.  As soon as MB and BMW start selling luxury/performance electric cars they will return to the fold.

I HAVE been looking for a poor investment opportunity...

Pretty damn close!
