My computer got chlamydia from viewing this article. Do you have a technical support number I can call?

Dear Sir or Madam, take your star! Not a Pentastar, at least.

On the Marlon Brando theme, perhaps product placement is in order, or silently sponsor a cool youth film on the glories and rebelness of HD motorcycles, a al F&F. Look what that did for Fiat. 

Because righteous indignation! To make the other side of your point.

Happened in the DC beltway in 92, and on I-95 south of Baltimore about 15 years ago. One bridge had to be rebuilt.

True. It would take more than that, though.

I would add the caveat “how high the truck is lifted versus local conditions.” Here in the DC Metro area, anyone driving a lifted truck to work that is clearly not a work truck, agreed. I drive a Lexus hybrid *sniff* which in my mind is just a nicer Toyota. Allowances should be made, as some people have pointed out,…

Canoo Canoo has already been done in the early 80s with the cologne called Canoe. Canoe Canoe?

Not sure how to square “Millennials, like other generations before and after, are not monolithic” with “And with what money, you ask? Oh, you know, the money we have left over after paying off our bills and student loan debt.” These statements seem contradictory.

Houses and cars are sticky in a downward direction. With houses, rather than lower prices, people don’t move (assuming the equity isn’t there.) With cars, prices don’t go down, but dealer and manufacturer incentives go up. BTW, a cash rebate is just taking out a personal loan on top of the price of the car, so avoid…

This is what the upwardly mobile actually pay money for in China, so it’s a sensible market decision for Ford. In the US, we seem to just want a bigger SUV, said the hybrid sedan driver.

CP. You lost me at minivan, which all SUVs are, and especially this.

Not enough chrome for us Americans in the early 60s. If you can see one of these in person, I think it would look small against the plethora of minivans these days. 

Ah, the 70s and European themed parks. I think the mindset at the time was “all the grandeur of Europe, without the pesky foreigners.”

“At $7,200, Does this 1991 Mitsub..” CP

Minivans = baby buggies. SUVs = baby buggies. I can’t tell the difference between them, especially when they are all stacked up in the grocery store parking lot. I have always driven coups and sedans myself. I’m not better than anyone else for it. I do get 40+ mpg in my full size sedan, though.

4 door letter cars are the real heresy.

Also a forgettable design originally. It didn’t sell well. 

Being a boomer (not originally: my age group wasn’t added to boomers until I turned 40) we know that the old Daytona and Superbird were one trick ponies. There is so much overhang and gaupiness, which is why they didn’t sell and sat on dealer lots when they were new. They are wallowy and unruly for anything but a…

Came here to post this: Everyone knows Alfas are POS. That seems a lot less tortured than the explanation put forward in the article. I worked at an Alfa dealer in the mid-70s, and nothing has changed with them since then. Not standing by hoping for any changes in my lifetime.
