Good point. Some manufacturers (GM, Nissan) have been doing it for a while, others’ teething troubles (Hyundai/Kia) have happened just long enough to fall out of the news cycle.

It was a model kit.

I had my last car for 12 years, I only had to replace the halogen headlights once in that time. Had to drop the bumper cover to do it, but it was still a full decade and 150k miles’ use out of the original headlight bulbs.

I still wonder if Honda wasn’t setting up this car to fail. Mini-minivan styling but only two doors. Too expensive for the courier-delivery market the then-recently-dropped Civic CX hatchback sold to. Manual only. And they dangled the possibility of bringing in the full-fat Type R *if enough people bought these*,…

That’s specifically British, not pan-European. Germans refer to a “zweitürig Fiesta” or “viertürig Golf” and are talking about hatchbacks.

Something something Stellantis...

Mercedes or Mercury. It even confuses car guys sometimes, ever since “Merc” for Mercedes leaked from British English sometime before Ford killed off the Mercury brand in 2011.

Business idea; $15,000 gets you a hot lap with an F1 driver in a Mitsubishi Mirage or maybe a Chevy Spark. You get to keep the car.

What idiot thought black rims would look anything other than junky and unfinished on a soccer-mom car like this? Especially as the only option available with the green paint that is its’ best color?

It’s not entirely clear what you’re talking about without using *their* name for it, so I’d suggest something like

A few thoughts;

This handles like a stock Tuscon AT BEST. More likely a lot worse than one.

Unfortunate side-effect of stacking trim levels. Above the base 360 there was a “Young” model and then a “Young S”, with the intention being that the “Young SS” was an improved “Young S”.

Any comments on the rumor that the Kamala’s unity Seder and Snatched, Waxed or Vaxxed were switched because Martin Short was stuck in traffic?

This is both incredibly sloppy and incredibly arrogant on Tesla’s part. They seem to be following the Trump model. I’m just glad Elon is constitutionally ineligible for  the presidency.

At the very least, open a new account for such a major purchase with only the amount needed to cover the car and no automatic overdraft coverage.

There also might be commercial uses for a truck like this that haven’t been explored with the Ridgeline except by one-man shops because Honda doesn’t do fleet deals. 

If nothing else they knew what they were getting into having a wedding at Mar-a-Lago. I’d have gone with the Regal Promenade Pavilion myself;

Hey, until I looked it up I thought Evergreen was based in Seattle most likely, or at least somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.

In an alternate universe, the Lada Samara EVA would’ve dueled with a Shelby-tuned Group B Dodge Omni in a late-Cold War superpower showdown for the World Rally Championship.
