Here’s over 5000 cars currently on Auto Trader which are less than 10 years old and have over 200k. It’s just far less likely in a random sample of internet commenters that you’re going to get any significant experience with newer cars racking up big mileages than 20+ year old cars that’ve had a lot more time to…

Apparently* the WRX transmission hooks up to the SVX reasonably easy.

“a crew of oldies in lawn chairs mean mugging anyone who drives a four-cylinder”

I’m assuming the Jeep Jeepster just stuck with me because I was 12, and a Jeep sports car seems like a very 12-year old concept, but I still love this.

It’s a taxi, it’s a driver’s ed car, it’s the choice of the timid, the uninterested in driving who just want An Car, and still it thrives.

Seems like the quiet whirr of an EV would be perfect for this though;

If Harris hadn’t sold off the 407, the tolls would likely be nowhere near as painful, and that could’ve been our extra capacity to ease demand on the 401, but common sense revolution and all.

Or, like you inadvertently say, specs/maintenance requirements out of line with what should be expected of normal owners. I had one in my Intrepid - it was mostly fine and unobtrusive, but I don’t think anything exceptional enough to justify the issues.

From the same account, it looks like they took the fight across several lanes of highway even. It looks like it’s the westbound express, just past the 404/DVP interchange - normally I’d guess someone trying to divebomb into the line at an offramp, but all that’s near they could’ve used is the collector’s exit.

Similarly, Chrysler’s A604 Ultradrive, which were particularly failure prone in the very good LH sedans and NS minivans.

I’d go with the one that was so bad it killed Ford’s smaller car prospects in the US, despite being an otherwise solid car.

Jesus dude, chill - first, it’s just random observation which can be tainted by bias. Second, Tesla’s sold nearly a million Model 3's since launching them, which isn’t insignificant, and it’d be exaggerated in certain metro areas as they’d likely inherently be more focused around more populated areas with better…

Depending on the year, white was one of Tesla’s no-charge colours, while the optional ones were significantly more expensive (red is over $2500CAD). I’m assuming it’s the same reason there’s a higher percentage of wrapped Teslas than other brands (if you’re out that much to get a good colour anyhow, why restrict…

Wait, what? A late model I4 Camry gets 40+ MPG without trying, and is plenty powerful if 90's Buick is your standard. There’s no need for a V6 in that class, so that’s why what little’s left went with the dick measuring contest.

I check out at anything Chinese-built, but it’s not as it Lotus has never had a part in making a big sports sedan. If they could get the weight anywhere near 4000lbs (like the Tesla Model 3, although the Eletre doesn’t bode well), it wouldn’t be total sacrilege.

Yup, not only did the warranty claims help lead to the downfall of NSU (eventually getting absorbed into Audi), NSU also codeveloped a Wankel with Citroen for the GS which Citroen eventually tried to buy all produced back rather than deal with parts support, and lead to Citroen’s bankruptcy and merger with Peugeot.

It sounds like everyone in BL was incredibly territorial - I’m fairly sure the Rover V8 was floated as an option for the Stag which Triumph engineers shot down. Likewise, when designing the XJ40, Jag engineers made sure there was no way the Rover V8 would fit, which also meant their V12 wouldn’t fit, and so the Series…

So, right now, even with the inflated used car market, 15 year old Escapes are cheap. Sure, plenty of that is that they rust, but still, I think we can extrapolate that Bronco Sports will be cheap in 15 years.

I'm sure a talented enough designer could make it work, although the shape of the side window glass doesn't make it easy (I wonder how hard it would be to swap in the side glass from the coupe so you've got a squared edge to work with that'd lend itself to roof lengthening).

Ed Robertson and Steven Page would like a word.
