We already solved this problem when we came up with CUV. Just stop falsely calling CUVs SUVs and we'll be good.

I don’t get what he’s on about there either.

Yeah, that joke didn’t quite cut the mustard.

It’s take a lot of effort to Ketchup to the rest of the pack.

I don’t relish the challenge associated with running it against a bunch of Miatas.

those heavy ass pigs really could use that extra space for bigger brakes.

The only redemption to the WK1 was the Hemi. I wouldn’t get anything short of a loaded limited with the Hemi in a WK1. An Overland or SRT is ideal.

A decent part of that has to be due to how owners treat their cars too.

FCA and JLR built their cool and good looking products well?

From what I recall, at launch AWD was announced with ‘late availability’. That late availability just never came... Until now.

If he's as good as Marcos was hopping into a stockcar, he'll have a win within a couple years if he gets Penske equipment.

That sounds along the lines of what I was thinking.

Oddly enough, at the one dealer chain I had good experiences with, there was a period of time where I would send nobody to the Toyota dealer. I would tell people to buy used Toyotas, but if it was on the Toyota lot, to go to the Ford or Dodge location and have them bring it over.

IIRC the Ford and Dodge locations…

Just out of curiosity, is this C/J/D dealer in a smaller-town area?

I’ve been to a few Dodge dealers and almost always have better luck with the ones that are in less-populated areas. Bonus points if they still have their ‘Five Star dealer’ stuff the best-rated dealers received in the 90s-2000s.

This is because intelligent dealerships know that the 18 year old kid with the 100,000 mile Audi will someday be making much more money, and if treated well will quite likely come back and buy a newer Audi at their dealership later in life.

That’s hot.

I agree with this.

The beak design without the beak in the grille would be great looking.

Seconded.

The gaping maw ruined that car.

The US doesn’t use COE trucks because they limit accessibility to the engine and make maintenance more complicated, which would be worse on trucks with the size of sleepers that are needed to to trans-continental runs.

Europe only really uses them because of overall-truck-length regulations, they used to use trucks…

I can’t be the only one who sees a lot of Porsche in the nose of it.

I say this as a Mopar guy, but from a perceived reliability standpoint I have to give it to GM for the 5.3 and 6.2.
