If it’s anything like the Model 3, it won’t be.

Lifted hatchbacks and wagons. That in and of itself makes them less dynamic thanks to the higher center of gravity.

Are you expecting a crossover to be “engaging”?

So they got rid of the Forester XT, but bring back the Outback XT?

You guys really need to get your union to negotiate for some better vision insurance benefits...

Much as the Mazdaspeed6 was a more adult alternative to a Subaru WRX STi or Mitsubishi Evo of its day

Reliability and build quality. And this is coming from someone that prefers Subarus over Toyotas.

I’m waiting for the plot twist where it turns out the employee was female. Updated headline of this article will read “Elon Musk Bodyslammed a Female Employee”.

But can you remove the roof and doors :D?

The thing is those types of cosmetic options doesn’t cost nearly as much as a different powertrain option. The additional tooling, certification, R&D, etc. that goes into anything to do with the drivetrain is orders of magnitude more involved (and expensive) than combinations of colors and interior bits.

Agreed: first gen looked great. Subsequent gens started looking more and more like tiny minivans.

If you’re even considering the EP3, you’re going to be reallllly disappointed by the power (or lack thereof) of the Fit. Doubly so if you have any passengers or are carrying cargo.

Honda is notorious for taking the arrogant “it’s you, not us, and if it’s not you, then it’s the dealer who we don’t control, our cars are perfect” approach when handling complaints. The cars are _usually_ good, but if you get one with problems you have to go through hell and high water to get them to do the right…

I’m not saying there doesn’t exist people who will buy the car at those trim levels. I’m saying that there aren’t nearly enough of them for this to be an NPV-positive endeavor for the company, and ultimately that’s what matters. Take it one step farther and I’m sure you can find people here who would buy a manual…

I thought Greenland is covered in ice, and Iceland is very nice.

What’s more likely: that there isn’t a viable market for manuals on more expensive trim levels, or that all these companies who are in the business of making money and collectively have infinitely more business acumen than you or me is making a big mistake? The explanation you’re proposing is a counterfactual fallacy.

They still gotta sell something to the rental companies.

Isn’t that what the second guy did? Gave him a little shove after the first guy threw a punch?

I don’t see the second guy throw a punch.

At first I thought the headline was making fun of the intelligence of the people of Kentucky.
