The big advantage of no center console in a minivan is that you can climb into the van through the sliding door to strap the kids in and then squeeze through to the front Millennium Falcon-style, a big advantage in the rain.

Never mind a full-size spare *tire*, your “spare” is a whole Opel Kadett.
What they did was exactly not swinging the engine 180. The transmission is forward of the engine in both the original rear placement that puts the engine in the rear overhang and the FWD adaptation that puts the engine within the wheelbase.
Probably the best feature of Renault’s rear-engine setup was the ease with which the whole powertrain could be moved to the other end of the car with no further modifications except regearing so you don’t have 1 speed forward and 4 reverse. Bonus, the swing axles were done away with because the drive wheels needed to…
Those tubes would have to be completely buried in ‘Murica or someone would cut them for Ss&Gs and I don’t see how they can be replaced short of total repaving.
Especially when the wagon had a hint of the basket handle to it.
Do you get paid extra for this to run on both Jalopnik and The Takeout?
Given that op’s here to tell the tale I wouldn’t call it sad.

“Small yet optimized”; as a Honda Fit owner I’d say yeah. And as someone who went out of state to find one with a manual transmission (new) just before the pandemic I’d say the stick which I’m not giving up for anything less than a full EV.
How the HELL does the Plaid model STILL not have plaid seats!?! Come on, if you’re gonna get cutesy, commit to it!
Yeah I’d call this a case of “they’re all assholes”.
Best reform idea I heard was to make cops individually responsible for civil settlements against them. Effectively this would mean carrying their own malpractice insurance, which would take care of the revolving door - no need for the government (state or federal) to keep a list of cops fired for this kind of shit,…
Amazing ground-up restoration but did they have to fall over on the last hurdle by setting the list of cities visited in Dom Casual, a font invented in 1951 and basically the Comic Sans before there was Comic Sans? If it was hand-lettered back in the day it should be hand-lettered now, if it wasn’t on the car during…
Not enough price difference from a Civic to make it worthwhile, most likely.
The Honda City is for all intents and purposes a (gen 3) Fit sedan. As such it’s cooler than an HR-V but not as cool as the Fit itself which is (was, smh) classed as a wagon by the EPA and marketed as a hatchback by Honda. The relevant part of the automotive coolness spectrum is Wagon > Hatchback > Sedan > CUV.
And knowing how tough Dodge Darts were, they probably rolled it back onto its’ wheels and sold it to someone who drove it for the next 20 years.
What surprises me about XJ Cherokee doors is that the 2-door stayed in the line right up to the end. Given the low take rate that got lower over the run, by the mid ‘90s it must’ve been a production bottleneck to set things up on the line for one of them.
A successful covid vaccination program now that production is ramping up and real experts are being put in charge instead of Jared, will lead to more travel starting with road trips first.
Towards the end the value proposition of the base Golf was way off; VW.com at this writing lists the starting MSRP as $23,195 compared to $19,995 for a base Jetta. That’s a lot for basically just a hatch and rear wiper, maybe a more sophisticated rear suspension.
