Jeez, who (or what) did these guys piss off? Seems like it’s one thing after another. Damn shame, because their cars were always so freaking cool.

I think your definition of safe and my definition of safe are two different things. And that’s okay. What I meant by safe is that few, if any automakers, really do “crazy” design (such as exaggerated pillars, radical front/rear end layouts, weird arches and vents) I can’t put my finger on it exactly, but maybe the…

It’s a new direction and something fresh. It’ll definitely stick out. I mean, hell, we could use a bit of crazy in cars these days. Shit’s too safe now it terms of aesthetic design. 

Dat ass doe

I know it’s a rendering, but fuck, this actually made me physically sick.

This. Everyone who’s talking about the GM closures needs to look deeper than what’s on the surface. Dion’s rage outbursts of “fighting like hell” to keep the Oshawa plant open are childish, at best, and have zero effect on the situation. GM is closing that plant, as painful as it is; no one said transition is easy or…

Neutral: See, this is a bigger and more complex issue that eclipses the automotive industry right now as a whole. At the moment, no one truly knows what the car of the future is going to be, largely because we’ve dabbled in multiple types of technology (i,e, electric, autonomous vehicles, hydrogen, etc) but none of…

What... the actual fuck.

I dare say, it looks pretty cool too. Fucking Mitsubishi. Never giving us any of their cool shit.

This is definitely sad news. But I knew it was coming. I knew that when sales from the re-hashed 2012 Impala started slumping, things wouldn’t look good for Oshawa, because the Impala was and always has been their #1 product. In its heyday, GM was selling hundreds of thousands of w-bodies per year, with the Impy…

In fairness, North Americans flocked to SUVs, pickups and crossovers long before the final nail was set upon the American sedan, by the Japanese or otherwise.

As someone who’s owned a W-Body Impy, they were good beaters... up until the trannie shat itself, or electronics would start fucking up left and right.

It is sad, but honestly GM abandoned the Impala loooooong time ago. From refusing to take it back to its RWD roots, to keeping its W-Body corpse alive for so long (even up until the 2013 re-do, that platform had at least 30 years on it). The Impala is what made the Oshawa plant in the first place, but such things…

I test drove the 3.6 and I honestly wasn’t a fan either. It was certainly quicker than the 2.5, but it like, didn’t have any sound; it was soooo damn quiet; it also felt slower than the 3.5 V6 in my 300. If it was a turbo and quick as hell, then I may have justified the extra $4,500 pricetag. Not to knock the 3.6,…

This. I’d have given the Levorg a chance (even though I don’t fit into Imprezzas very easily) but like, come on Subaru, give us a damn chance to try it! And you’re spot on about the 1% thing; wagons have become an almost exclusive club; when I was hunting for a new car, it was the hardest thing to figure out. Which is…

I’m not a salesman, but one thing that made me walk off lots and away from car salesmen is the ‘no, no no’ attitude. “No, can’t do that, sorry, nope, that’s too much, nope sorry.” I get they’re trying to do their job, but hey, give me options, even if they all suck. I’ll be the judge if I can afford it or not, just…

Oh nice! Was in Bellingham last Easter, really neat area.

IMO, I’ve had them up to 130 km/h on the highway and they were still pretty quiet and comfortable. I noticed no difference between them and the stock Bridgestone all-seasons my Outback came with.

That blue doe. Wow. Wish they offered that colour on the Outback.

I’m not sure of any official tests, but from what I’ve personally experienced with the WG3's so far is that they don’t hydroplane very much, if at all (I’m in Victoria, so pretty rainy here too) and they were able to handle a muddy, snowy, rocky mountain road at 1,300 ft really well with no wheel slip. I’ve yet to…
