“Jeep Cherokee production winding down is hardly a surprise at this point: Stellantis had announced it would be idling Belvidire in December of last year. Sales of the Jeep Cherokee have been declining steadily for months, which is in stark contrast to other small-to-midsize SUVs from Jeep’s rivals, including the…

I don’t buy this, OEM’s essentially have a set margin per car and they really only make more on volume by selling more cars to the dealers. Dealers and retailers would benefit (ADM goes to the dealer, not the OEM) so I don’t see this as a real thing. Also, market share is real and auto people LOVE market share, ask me…

After accounting for inflation, here’s what the following popular hot hatches would cost in 2022:

Back when they were slow and FWD only, sure.

A 2000 VW GTI 1.8T had an MSRP of $19,225, or $31,384 in 2021 dollars.  An Accord LX was $18,390 back then.

I can give you three reasons to get Santa Cruz over the Maverick

Harley v twin from the “loud pipes save lives crowd.” One continuous fart.

Opinions and all but I highly disagree. It's too short for boring to even get a chance to kick in. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Not all games are “fun” though, right? Someone please check the Elden Ring review for how often that word comes up.

Wait are you saying a game probably isn’t enjoyable unless the reviewer specifically uses the word “fun” in the review? Because that’s a really bizarre way to navigate the world.

Can we please declare war on oil companies now? Weve declared war on FAR less horrible people.

Seems like a clear recitation of the facts. Hardly an ‘opinion piece’. I’m sorry you don’t understand how legislation is introduced and passed. Take a civics course, I’m sure you’re local college offers an introductory one.

e-2008, 3008 Hybrid, 508 Hybrid, 5008 SUV. All very attractive styling. Stellantis has ability to fill the Chrysler product line in short order if they choose to. Rebadging makes sense in this case. 

I was going to suggest an enduro or a supermoto with tire adjustment. KTM or Husqvarna 701.

Are you and your company deeply tied to the leader of a regime who is invading a foreign country? Is your company the result of massive graft and you were able to purchase a state owned company for pennies on the dollar? Is your wealth tied to corruption and being best buds with a maniac with delusions of recreating…

What’s with the purity tests?

You say 5.8 seconds to 60 is slow like every other car Mazda makes is faster than that.

Driving too fast for conditions, driving blind. How did they get away with it? Radar assist probably not optical cruise, could be the big hand from the sky for the save.   What would a Tesla do I wonder.

Actually I’m well over my quota for the week, but I figured this would be a fun little post for the weekend. Sorry you had to suffer through it.

Amen!

Same reason why I would never buy a third party extended warranty. Those companies will find a reason not to pay out.
