There was a sweet spot for diesel in the late 1990's to early 2000's. The early TDIs got ridiculously high fuel mileage and lasted for ages. Then Dodge put a Cummins engine in their trucks and you could have a full size truck with tons of torque that got fuel mileage similar to a large car.

The V is the big distinguishing point so I’ll go NP, not that many of these floating around and lower mileage examples fetch over $30.

Sometimes you have a really vivid dream, where you have something perfect in your possession. You wake up and feel confusion, sadness, and anger to find out it was all a dream, and that you have to go back to reality empty handed.

Today, you can wake up and see this, the most beautiful art piece of all time, a sexy ass…

My price range for a new vehicle is $35k tops. Not everyone can afford a $1200+/mo payment. If the usual domestic automakers or even VW would make a wagon with more than 150hp then I’d probably buy it. Instead I have a Golf R for meow.

Yes, it’s just a station wagon. Sportbrake and shooting brake (in this context) is merely marketing speak to eliminate every connection with the family wagon your mom drove in the 1980s. Give them a few years and they’ll make up a new marketing name for crossovers too, for the exact same reason.

Why is the executive class so incestuous? And how do I get in?

GM deserves more credit then it tends to get. While VW, BMW, and it seems everyone else claims to have an EV on the horizon by 2020 or something GM has quietly been making Bolts. Are they sexy? No. Are there waiting lines? No. But they work and work well.

Now that’s quite a pole position.

Depends on the underpants and the car.

Versus the confidence that used Audi, BMW, and Mercedes vehicles instill, of course, being the paragons of reliability they are.

Yes you are. The Sky is a cleaner design IMHO.

A hunk a hunk a burning love

In the abstract, you are right that there is a technical but important distinction between the lack of health care, and health insurance, and that Reagan, of all people, mandated that no one can be denied the former because of their lack of finances.

If the war-criminal/welfare-for-the-richest-1%/wipe-ass-with-Constitution lying shithead Repubs are not decimated at the Nov. ‘18 elections, then America deserves to be handed over to Russia.

It has long been a money maker, but it has only ever been a part of real shit-for-brains car conglomerates.

I would be doing both, because the average customer really wants an electric crossover. Always has, always will.

The average customer drives relatively slowly, with most miles being stop-and-go city miles. There is a clear preference for high torque, quietness and smoothness, a lack of “jerky” shifting. Guess what?…
