It's not the rotory knobs that are the problem. It's the video-game like hammer-shaped shifters that have no feedback in the 300 and Grand Cherokee.

If the F150 or F250 was eligible for this, and handful of friends might go in together on one, and drive something more economical as a daily (I might be game for that, 15-16mpg highway in an “economical” 3.7L F150 is getting really fucking old), but beyond that, I just don’t think the plan is a good idea for Texas.

They should charge the son of a bitch with attempted murder and put him away for life if convicted.

Neutral: I care. I’ve only owned domestically-produced vehicles from domestic brands at this point. Toyota, Honda, and Kia/Hyundai would be the leading challengers to that streak at this point, as would VW if they'd sell the Amarok or the Scirroco here.

I swear you’re desperately trying to find something that’ll go 100% CP these days. I don’t know what the NP voters are smoking on this one. I love the Probe/MX-6 twins, they were fanfuckingtastic cars, but this one’s been ruined.

My family had an Allroad for two years. We loved and loathed that car simultaneously. We all loved driving it (it was technically my sister’s car, but any excuse to unleash that twin-turbo AWD beast on the open road and keys were exchanged), we all hated maintenance and upkeep on it (I’ve bought running/driving…

Actually, those are the best budget beater cars on the market. They’re everywhere with working A/C and heat with minor oil leaks for $4000 or less depending on age/options/area, and if it has the 3100 or 3800 in it, it won’t quit if taken care of and the junk intake gaskets are replaced. Sure they drive badly, but…

VAG DSG = Automatic CP for me. I can’t stand how they shift. They’re even worse than the 6R80 Schizomatic in my F150.

Neutral: They need a truck. They already build the truck they need for most of the rest of the world’s markets. Make it US emissions friendly, make sure it meets our crash standards, and send it over. If they sell it with the warranty they have on everything else, they’ll already have a strong selling point with the…

The price is fine, but there's just no appeal for me. A wrong-wheel-drive 80s sedan with a slushbox just says "suckage" all over.

As someone who deals with the failures in the current electronic aids, electric steering, drive-by-wire, etc. on a daily basis (I work in a dealership parts/service department), I’m on the list of those NOT looking forward to self-driving cars, especially with Alyssa Walker, Google, and others wanting NO manual…

I’m in the NP category, but only barely. I love what was done with the car, but if you’re going to put the Mercury dash into the Ford, you should have

The current 6spd in the F150 will drop from 6th straight to 2nd if you floor it at under 60mph... it’s a lot of fun in my 3.7L F150 with the 7000rpm redline...

Maybe my white trash roots (grew up in a single-wide out in the sticks and a ‘75 Chevy pickup and a 3rd-gen Camaro, both with glasspacks, were my first cars) are showing this morning, but I’m NP all the way on this thing. I love 3rd-gen F-bodies, this one is mostly clean and a driver as it sits, it’s a rare one that…

I have a ‘77 Capri in my garage right now. The interior’s half torn apart, the sunroof is out of it, and it’s on jackstands, with a 302 V8 sitting on a pair of improvised mounts and the T5 transmission out of a ‘95 Mustang bolted up behind it and supported by a scissor-jack at the moment.

CP all day. These were garbage when new and only get worse with miles and age.

Yet again, VW won’t sell the truck I’d trade in my F150 for in a heartbeat here.

That’s a negative. It uses a torque converter.

Ford does the EXACT same thing. On Interstate 35 in central Texas, which is mostly flat, I “can” get 20-24mph (EPA rating is 23).
