I can get Papillon black (‘Taste Noir’) from my local market in Atlanta, GA for a decent price. They seem to import several wheels in a single shipment.

This site is:

Is it just me, or does Slammington look roughly like Hoonigan interperted through an E28 chassis ?

It’s obvious you’re not a regular. We were gushing like school kids over the Giulia until it let us down with its horrible reliability.

Great car, but doomed to fail on its own in U.S. due to brand / value proposition mismatch. Kia is not a performance sedan brand.

I have the ultimate living-room-on-wheels : a fully-loaded minivan. I have a Wi-Fi router by virtue of my mobile phone in hot-spot mode. And, I have the ultimate target demographic : 2 kids ages 7 and 10. To them, Wi-Fi is like running water.

FTFY

Came in here to see this:

We got a fully-loaded Sedona at a tad over $40K. It’s $5K cheaper than a similarly-equipped Odyssey and will last just as long or longer. What’s not to love? Sometimes, a badge really is just a badge.

No customers, no business. No demand, no revenue.

The fact you missed the slightly more subtle point of the article says a lot. Hint : it really wasn’t that subtle.

It’s already happened. My 6 and 9-yr old **LOVE** our minivan.

This is not a minivan. It’s a 6-seater crossover. Minivans are significantly larger and can usually seat 8 (or 7 comfortably).

BTW, this is **not** a minivan in common parlance, at least not anymore than the Mazda MP5 is a minivan. Minivans are much larger than these, can seat 8, and when everything is folded down, have significantly more cargo room.

This thing is a maintenance/repair nightmare. $29K would be just the beginning of a very large amount of money thrown at this vehicle.

You lost me at ‘Asian Camaro’

CP. A 14-yr-old BMW with that many miles on it is a money pit.

Sounds like someone who was against Obamacare, but didn’t want his ACA touched.

A good car has both. My 2016 Kia Sedona has a touch-screen and button and knobs for everything that has ever had buttons and knobs : climate, radio, cruise control, traction control, locks, windows, etc.

You would have to make a deliberately poor decision to not own one as a daily driver
