I'm in the market to buy a 3 row SUV because our family is growing this year... I went and tests drove the suburban and yukon xl, wow... These things are junk. flimsy plastic trim, metal panels that bend, and the lower roof with higher belt line makes visibility suck. throttle response was crap, the brake pedal…

The base model suburban can be bought with a front bench for seating 9. Carpet delete would be awesome! Vinyl floor for me please, kid throws up just get the hose!

Driver front is 4/5 stars, which isn't bad:

it is a very nice car for sure. Only down sides are poor reliability and poor crash test scores

With a baby on the way come September, we will need seating for six. And need 4 wheel drive. And need a tilting front passenger seat (nixes most Japanese suv and minivans)

100 MPH to dead stop with no airbags would have literally crushed them into pulp and splattered nicely.... oh wait... turn brain off. ok cool jump!

It is beneficial for Volvo's long term strategy which involves removing the S80 and introducing the S90. The S60L will help fill that gap. Volvo is moving all products under three number series: 40, 60, 90 with S,V,XC under each. The xc70 wagon will become V90 with an optional cross country model. After the new…

Wife and I bought a new 2011 F250 crew cab short bed 4x4 back in 2010 and with a camper shell on the bed, the ride is not punishing at all.

If you want to do almost anything serious on your truck, you have to start be removing the entire cab from the frame. Yep. That's step one.

My Wife has a bad back and needs a passenger seat that not only reclines, but tilts. Every affordable Japanese car does not offer a tilting passenger seat unless you move up into their luxury brand. Most American cars we are looking at offers tilt in upgraded packages... We'd really like to buy a Japanese car or…

Look at the latest IIHS test for small overlap. Look at euroncap test results. Also take a look at nhtsa revised testing started in 2011. "Everything's Safe" isn't true at all. All cars on average are safer then they were 30 years ago but they are all not extremely solid frames. My Mother rolled her 2002 Ford…

I think only the first one was "good". The 2nd was boring and the 3rd was so bad it was insulting. The first has a good story with good character development which is so very lacking in modern movies.

Wife and I ordered and bought a 2011 F250 King Ranch Crew Cab 4x4 with the then new 6.7 Ford scorpion diesel. It was originally spec'd with about 720 pound-feet but the one we ordered arrived with the firmware upgraded 800 pound-feet motor. When test driving, the gasser v8 with 400 pound-feet just worked very hard…

Wife, Son, and I live in snow country and after doing research on the best AWD systems for icy roads, here are the most capable systems:

Not my picture but I did sport this 1978 Chrysler LeBaron Station Wagon with 340 V8 and fake wood trim. Trim kept falling apart, had a huge accident dent preventing the two passenger doors from opening, and had coffee spill stains on the paint :) I backed out of the driveway a few times with coffee on the roof.

Average of 17.5 mpg. We do a lot of city driving though, when on the freeway it can get into the high twenties. This is a 4x4 crew cab short bed king ranch with snugtop camper shell, so not the lightest version at all. By far much better than my previous truck, a 2003 Dodge ram 1500 4x4 crew cab short bed with 4.7…

I own a 2011 F250 with the new Ford 6.7 Scorpion Diesel. 17,000 miles so far without a problem and great gas mileage. So far so good, I'll get back to you in 2021 on the reliability. Honorary 2nd mention goes to VW Touareg 3.0 V6 DSI with 8 speed tranny, 28mpg on the highway for a 5000 lb AWD SUV that can tow 7500…

Wife just bought a Lenovo T530, the 15.4" version of the T430 with the 9 cell battery. It is carbon fiber-reinforced plastic body with an internal magnesium roll cage, military-grade dust and water resistance and a fiberglass-reinforced display shell. It is far from rickety, flimsy or cheap. One reason she didn't…

Of course it isn't milk, it is merely labeled "milk" on the box. I quoted what it's called on the stupid box. To think you tried to make a funny or a silly point over this is lame. troll.

She calmly read the CBO quote. In generalized terms, it is still a reduction in spending. Technically a cut. She read the quote and did not acknowledge that the word "cut" also equates to "reduction". I honestly don't have any feelings towards this topic and loath this type of commentary show, but let us be fair,…
