Don’t forget that Reverse is dangling red meat in front of the “California bad hurr durr” trolls.

They could also sue the Hellcat owner for repayment of what they had to cover. Either way, I don’t see him getting another nice car for a long time even after getting his license back.
Pretty much all Benzes have the same double branding. It goes back to the time of exposed radiators where there’d be the enameled badge on top of the radiator shell itself and then a hood ornament-ed radiator cap. M-B would supply a star hood ornament but you were free to substitute your own personal mascot or the…
Not too bad, the Aspen/Volare has potential. Most of its’ problems were first-year foibles that would be sorted on a survivor.
I wouldn’t rule out the right GM Colonnade either. The sedan roofline’s my favorite and it seems like the Buick has the most thought-out looks. Who loves ya’ baby?
It would actually be kind of cool if they had *physically* decontented it in the traditional way, either in addition to or (better yet) instead of the artificial range cap. Bare silver steelies, unpainted black mirror housings, unpainted gray bumpers, conventional door handles (maybe there are some leftover…
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”.
