Shame on the mess!
Shame on the mess!
Golf Alltrack, you mean the Aldi Quattro?
I mean, they were insane enough to think a two-tiered contract is a reasonable offer after a year of record profits in the tightest labor market in living memory. So, yeah.
Introduced in 1996, last major facelift 2003.
Post-1970 BMW 2002 *sedan*. The Touring model should’ve replaced it completely, with no looking back and no non-hatchback 3-Series ever. Maybe that would’ve spared us generations of compact cars you can’t carry crap in because only the inherently flawed sedan configuration was ever offered in America.
I mean, if this is a prequel to Wilder’s Wonka it sort of works. If Wilder had worn a wide-lapeled brown polyester leisure suit and super-wide tie to meet the kids in 1971, it would make sense for Chalamet’s Wonka to wear something just as typically circa-1950 but...that’s not the direction he went.
Is there a practical minimum capacity to be called a “trunk”? To me, a trunk has to be able to carry at least one of the following;
“Noam-ad” sounds too much like “Nomad” which is Chevy from way back, so maybe it’ll be a good package for the upcoming electric Silverado.
More use of turbos, more complicated automatic transmissions (including CVTs), more potential points of failure. At least that’s what I’m hoping it is since I have one of the last manual Fits which of course is nonturbo.
Good point, it’s always the people who’ve made a lucrative career out of rhetorically punching down that whine the loudest about “cancel culture”.
Barris was the only major SoCal custom shop that was willing to work with Hollywood’s production schedule which is inclined to “hurry up and wait”.
I like to say I wish I lived in an America where we had the Republican Party that Joe Manchin seems to think we have rather than the one we actually do.
I specifically called out the Kicks in the last thread for its’ combination of a ticking-time-bomb CVT and zero enthusiast appeal.
The interior is definitely in the “sporty-adjacent” column, my Aunt Betty’s ‘83 Escort wagon had the exact same dash and the seats differed only in having “DuraWeave” (knit vinyl, ~20 grit) inserts. Oh, and everything was powder blue.
German-registered VW Amarok overlanding camper, in Vermont.
To be realistic, a spy based in London in the early ‘60s would likely have driven a Morris Minor. Today, most likely a Ford Fiesta.
Nissan Kicks. CVT only and Nissan’s ticking time bomb of one at that, too tall to have fun slow-car-fast handling, too much of a lifted hatchback to be an off-roader, so zero enthusiast appeal. Nissan’s business model guarantees it’s destined to be badly driven and poorly maintained. Most of that applies to the…
