People brake with their foot on or partially on the accelerator pedal and when their car surges instead of braking they slam their foot down harder on the “brake” and floor the gas.

I’ve always locked my car! One time I locked it and went in to work a short 3 hour shift only to finish up, come and and find I’d locked it with the keys in the ignition and the car running...
Oh like you’ve never done it!
A strong opinion from an author who just last year penned an article - and suggested for me at the bottom of this article in More From Jalopnik - entitled “Boring Cars Are Eyesores”.
:P
A few days ago I saw someone attempt a (unintended) j turn. I little too much gas and then a little too much brake backing out of a parking space in an icy Target parking lot is all you need. They only got about 110-115 degrees in their attempt, but from the look on the faces of the man driving and his female…
To my mind Aston Martins and other vehicles in that rarefied market niche are for people buy a vehicle outright. If you need to lease or get a loan, you should probably look elsewhere.
He looks a bit delicate, but I’m sure he’ll be safe in prison.
“I guess it was too good to be true to expect a tiny, little European car to last in the United States.”
The 500 was 4 years old when it finally came to the States and has been here for 9 model years. It was too good to be true to expect a reasonable vehicle lifecycle from FCA.
The main thing that’s detracting from the new Sonata is the upcoming next gen Optima with it’s available AWD. Being in Minnesota makes that very attractive to me (and to anyone downplaying AWD in comparison to having winter tires, those can be equipt to vehicles with AWD)
So Ford is the dominate seller in a market segment that’s been protected by a tariff for nearly 60 years.
It shouldn’t be a surprise. Buick sold just over 14000 regals in the US in 2018, and they sold just over 100000 of them in China.
The last badge is not OEM, it’s an after market design. You can see on the Korean website the normal black oval Kia badge is used here in the US there.
The X Class/Navara is body-on-frame and Mercedes doesn’t produce any body-on-frame vehicles in the US, they’d have to design an entirely new unibody vehicle for what would be a niche market (luxury unibody pickup) in the States.
It is smaller, Carscoops reported the dimensions as being 157.3 in long 66.7 in wide, and 63.8 in high, with a wheelbase of just 99.4 in.
Why would they bring both this AND the rebadged Mazda 2 version to the US?
It was breaking well before it hit the truck.
Scratch that, the 1 series isn’t available in the US or Canada, but is available in Mexico, I thought it wasn’t last I checked, but it’s been awhile.
The 1 series is not available in North America.
Well just eye-balling it, given the appearance of the rear doors being a bit shorter than those on the current Crown, the wheelbase could be closer to the 2,850 mm of the out going Mark X than the 2,920 mm of the 15th gen Crown.
If they’d told me this was the new 3rd gen Mark X, I’d have believed them!
Nope, it’s “Ico Ico unDai-hatsu!”
