Mazda 5.
They are incredible little mini minivans. You can get them with a sweet dash-mounted 6-speed manual. Their cavernous interiors are amazingly functional, and useable because every seat can fold flat individually, or leave them all up for decent 6-person seating. The sliding doors are perfect for loading kids…

Maybe not of all time, but first gen Vibe GT or Matrix XRS. Toyota block with Yamaha-tuned heads good for 180hp, manual transmission, unburstable Toyota reliability, and with fold-flat front passenger and rear seats, pop-up rear hatch glass, a standard roof rack, and a 120-volt household power outlet it was about as…

The answer is Suzuki Kizashi, right?

The Chevy Volt - it should have been a game changer - one of the first PHEVs with real useable electric range (I recall that even the first generation from 2010 had an all electric range of about 30 miles that equals a lot of PHEVs today). 

Fortunately we can kind of guess what they look like. They’re Kias, so the cheaper ones will look like Scions but with fewer awkwardly pieced together body panels and the premium models will look like Jaguars with more awkwardly pieced together body panels. They’re modern cars so at least a few of them will be…

That is a thought. And whatever the reason, a driver already flustered by the unexpected acceleration, then further thrown by the first accident, was probably too far behind the car to save it.

1. Sedans are *out*. It’s hard for older people to lower /raise themselves up and down from the seat.

Acura is doing indie film interior lighting themes. This one is called “Mandy.”

And not even a good one.

(Sorry if you have seen this post before—I am reposting so that potential first time EV buyers have a realistic view of range requirements).

Neutral: Neither.

Mitsubishi, anything they build, should be on the list.

Maybe we’ll get an article about that brand new anime, One Piece next! Got on this wagon laaate.

Please note there was an immense step downward on the animation between Season 1 and Season 2. Kinda a bummer as the fights in Season 1 were really hard to top, IMHO.

If it does come here, it’ll be as the be-cladded, crossover version, the Crosstar. Get excited Jalops.

Deathtrap? Hmmm. Open top, no belts, not very trap-like. Death-launcher, death wagon, death skate, T-bucket -> death bucket?

Someone needs to report them to the NHTSA immediately, I didn’t even see lap belts.

If you think thats a "VERY SOUTHERN' mom or person in general then I don't think you have EVER been to the south, for real.
