This point was made, but not clearly: When you volunteer for something that should be paid, you devalue the work of others. You take bread out of their mouths.

That dorky steering wheel looks like it was designed by devotees of the 70s Star Trek series. I know, the steering wheel isn’t the point on this car, but for $200k+ I think I want maybe ... um ... everything to be at least decent looking.

It’s a pile-on. Lived with a Liberty for five days on vacation. Just annoyingly bad ergonomics, controls, engine sound and cvt behavior. Meh cars are bad enough - this was AWFUL!

Hmmm ... Does this further show a pattern of innovation and excellence OR a pattern of micromanagement?

Aaarrgrhh!

Hate to be so pedantic. But this is just staring me in the face. Don’t call us Bad News Americans. Give us a comma.
