Yuuup. Either the stamping group/supplier throws a hissy fit over the tight crease, or assembly does, or the engineers, or the die makers, or the accountants.

Not to mention, a crease could have been a pain in the ass to stamp, those odd design features can lead to QC issues, nightmares for the die makers, the engineers, worries about thinning/splitting of the sheet metal, etc.

Yep. The Altima has gone downhill since the L31, whereas most cars in the segment have gone uphill (Fusion, Accord, Camry, etc). Hopefully the 2019 goes back to the old glory days.

Most insurance policies for the states close to the border now allow you to add a US insurance extension/rider for a fee, so that you can freely drive into the US without having to buy 3-day insurance on every trip.

There is a difference: Hauling 4x8 sized stuff (whether it is plywood, foamular, drywall, etc) is more of an American thing. The people who need to haul that sort of thing in Latin America typically go for either a Nissan D21/22/23, S10, Ranger or Hilux with a flatbed, Aussie-type Ute tray, or in Mexico, a stake bed…

There is a problem that goes deeper than laws, usury, and unscrupulous sellers.

Sounds like the family went swimming... but not on their own accord.

Hopefully this will restore the Altima to its L31 glory days.

“The absolute worst person to insure in America is a theoretical single 16-year-old young man with four speeding tickets to his name.”

At first I thought you were nuts for taking an E350 at 93mph, then I realized you were not talking about the Econoline.

You didn’t mention Alexandra Mohnhaupt :(

GET. OUT.

The full tank of gas has probably gone bad by now too.

Did you get it from Carmax with a Bumper to Bumper warranty?

I think the wiper shape pretty much rules everything but the Journey out. For some reason Dodge decided to mount it on the tailgate metal instead of the glass, like most other companies.

Of course it’s thanks to Chrysler Capital lending fiat currency!

I’m guessing this means the A-surface of the bumper (the part you see) is a steel piece that mounts straight to the frame, as opposed to the typical steel bumper assembly which is then hidden behind a plastic cover.

Looks like we’ll have 3 Tundras to choose from in 2019.

FXICHGN is OHIO AF.

Forgot about the Armada/QX80 and the Sequoia... the G Wagen isn’t really a player for most comparison purposes though, starting at $123k, and I don’t think it’s even possible to get a factory Escalade to that high (best I could do was low 100s or so).
