2020 Honda Fit LX, no options but PW/PL/cruise all standard, manual, 25k miles. KBB range is $16858 - 20,351 from the low end of the trade-in to the high end of the private sale range. Price new in Feb 2020 was 16k almost even. 

Counterpoint; the only reason Internet Car Guys dump on the Crosstour is that it was lifted. The new Civic and Integra are not.

They also referred to it as “the new small Chrysler”. Note they don’t say it’s a small *car*, just relatively small for a Chrysler. It was a pivot from their policy for the Chrysler brand that they’d been advertising as “no jr editions” since 1961;

For years every time I went into Canada I would see exactly one Lada. No more, no less, and never the same one twice. Sometimes a brown 2106 parked outside a roadside poutinerie in rural Quebec, sometimes a full jacked-up mud monster Niva on a trailer, sometimes a slate-blue Samara in a parking lot in Ottawa. 

Might as well have said “It’s Pat (the movie)“ whose premise seems to have not aged well until you remember it which SNL-based movies to the tune of $60k box office on an $8 million budget.

I still want to see Tesla do a 180 and ship cars with manual transmissions. I’m not sure how to implement them in ground-up EVs that were never meant to have a transmission at all, but back in the day when Elon Musk’s attention-seeking was more “quirky and fun” and less “thank god he’s constitutionally ineligible for…

Every panel is different. Yes, the hard points are the same but this is hardly the second coming of the Cadillac Cimarron.

I’m surprised they have the exact same overwrought shape on both versions, it seems to me like that would’ve been a good place to build in some much-needed brand differentiation.

First lot; YELLOW Honda Fit! I actually have one although I had to settle for silver to get the manual. Or maybe the VW Touraeg since it has a nice sturdy roof rack the smoker can cling to.

OK, could be my faulty memory but they did this in ALF. Not the live-action primetime series but the spinoff (npi) prequel Saturday morning cartoon. It’s how long-distance mass transit was done on Planet Melmac.

Mini Cooper’s pickup-style tailgate is a page taken from the original Mini whose (2-box sedan) trunk opening also was hinged at the bottom like a pickup tailgate.

Same deal on the Toyota Yaris (although not all were supplied by one from the factory). I was under the impression that this location is industry standard.

Burlington, Vermont. 

A Maserati Levante, hell a Maserati *anything*, is the car of a politician supremely unworried about his election prospects. If I were a political consultant I’d fire him as a client just for buying that car. Even to those who don’t know cars, the very name Maserati conveys a sense of arrogant wealth right up there…

About the same age as Torch. First two were my parents’;

Having seatbelts that could be stuffed between the cracks of the seat cushions and clipped invisibly to the roof for a clean hardtop roofline was MUCH more important that making them so they can actually be *used*. That was the case for post sedans too, Dart and Valiant four-doors had the same system even though…

1st; So there was a tentative deal, now there’s not a deal. Sigh. What does Joe Manchin want now?

One point is that the Chevy Spark as seen on the lede has been announced, and can be build-and-price’d. for 2022. 

2nd; Can we have some damn perspective on gas prices rather than comparing how much prices have gone up since the bottom of the pandemic economy? You know when oil prices started climbing this year? When the vaccines came out. You know, when it was clear people were going to start traveling again.
