Fundamentally, the Genesis brand has only two paths to long term success:

I hear you, but if this anything like Tesla’s charging system, it can be charged (slowly) via any 110 plug and faster if you’ve got access to 220.

This is why you tier your investments into extremely liquid, mostly liquid, and not liquid. Even the kludgiest mutual fund can be cashed out within 72 hours.  

So keep the rotor and use it in a hybrid arrangement. 

These have, to me, always looked more like a Mitsuoka than an actual Jaguar.

The non-NAV components swap in (and these aren’t uncommon in junkyards). Then a double DIN swap is easily executed. Honestly, this drivetrain is the only one in this model worth having in my opinion. 

I actually had one pull up next to me at a stoplight in Boulder, CO last week. Didn’t even notice it until it started pulling forward and I saw the VW logo.

I voted CP despite nearly bidding on a similar Trooper on Cars & Bids a few weeks ago (that wound up at an even higher price).

As a former owner of three different Wagoneers, when this came out I had two thoughts. One was a sigh of relief that it wasn’t some horrible retro pastiche. The other was a little regret that there wasn’t so much as a nod to the old FSJ.

Toyota have been following the GM model of product development for 20 years now, updating products only when the market just won’t bear another weak sauce trim change. They’re still doing solid build quality, which GM didn’t have from 1960-2015, which is apparently almost the only thing Toyota shoppers demand.

Actually, they weren’t. Companies’ ability to do business in the 3rd Reich was predicated on their willingness to comply with the whims of Nazi leadership. Actual competence, price, or ability to meet objectives were not required for success.

That absence belies the basic discrepancy between the wealthy in fiction and the wealthy in reality.

I special ordered a brand new 1990 S-10 in 1989. Because I’m that sort of person, I perused the options list for weeks before placing the order and I distinctly recall that the roll pan was an option as well. And although the bumper was standard on higher trim levels, you could override that inclusion with a rear bumpe…

It wasn’t unique to Texas or the west. The dealer branding was pretty unique to Texas simply because Texas dealers sold a lot more trucks than most dealers outside that state. Of course, the twin Texas phenomenon of volume and climate mean that there’s more surviving trucks from this era there too.

I don’t blame the player. The game, however, is very, very broken. 

I’ll be SUV shopping next fall. As much as I’d like the big Bronco, my budget doesn’t agree, so, given the choice between a base big Bronco or a loaded Bronco Sport, I think the latter will be what I shop.

I would also assume both Broncos can fly by simply throwing themselves at the ground and missing.

There are quite a few. That said, the real reason is CAFE. Boxy vehicles get poorer fuel economy. If you sell too many boxy vehicles, you miss your corporate targets. 

We always used to joke about BMW and Mercedes not selling new models in the US until year two to avoid having new model problems over here.

I’ve seen Renegades come through some trails here in Colorado that weren’t easy for my Titan Pro-4X with the rear locker engaged. Sometimes small and light is as or more important than big and powerful.
