I’m not really diggin’ the bubble butt. Reminds me of when the Pathfinder went crossover:

Side note, my wife refuses to drive it, except on the highway, so another major plus there. She almost did get it stuck in a ditch, though.

I was going to post in the original thread, but I didn’t bother. This is my Daily Driver:

There are no such thing as silent sonic booms, nor is there a way to go faster than the speed of sound without some form of boom.

The Gremlin was priced at about $9,000 in today’s dollars, and many similar cars of the era were about $11-12k. But many of those cars were designed from a blank canvas, just as many cars still are, and from that blank canvas comes a lot of R&D costs that need to be made up through sales.

The Shit-box.

This is exactly how it should be, my god. I just want a dealership to act as a receiving point for my vehicle, and a tag/title shop. That’s it. As far as sales, they could proabably do it with a staff of 5 people and do killer fucking work over e-mail.

Few things off the top of my head.

In the rest of the world, people expect to be able to tow with ordinary cars, since nobody (relatively speaking) owns or has a buddy with a truck. When you go to IKEA, you rent a little aluminum trailer from the corner gas station and go get your flatpacks whether you are driving a Fiesta or a Range Rover. Virtually…

Ugly is the new Exclusive.

   I’m good at keeping other people on top of their own car maintenance, but I leave my own vehicles on the back burner until the last minute.

And I can see that. One thing I didn’t like about my old CX-5 is that everything was still pretty crammed for a 4-person family. Rear seats and Front seats battled for legroom, the cargo area was decent, but nothing to write home about. Supposedly the CX-50 is a bit better, but sometimes I wish I got the CX-9. A…

Sometimes adding a 3rd row is a joke, though. For many Crossover SUVs, the 3rd row is just some afterthought and any demographic that is considering a small-ish 3-row crossover is probably the kind of person who’s almost never going to use it except MAYBE if they have to transport 1 or 2 extra unforeseen children that…

I didn’t buy an HD truck, but I bought a Diesel Ram 1500 in May, I got it well under invoice, too. The best thing you can do is hit up the forums and ask what dealerships the people recommend. Buying a vehicle isn’t a local thing, anymore, you can search and buy nationally.

I wouldn’t even say fast is the problem.

Agreed. The vehicle is not the reason I choose to Drive over Flying. Unless United Airlines can improve my door-to-door experience, they can suck it. This is me about 1-2x a year, but my main motivator isn’t just me, but having a family of 4 people:

The price only makes sense when your car is punching above their own weight. In 2008, the GT-R was a mythical beast that defied all logic in performance-per-dollar standards.

I enjoyed my R35, but I wasn’t sad to see it go either.
