Awfully small headlights. 

Here is some absurd crap that was put up with for far too long.

They actually are a great family car. You can fit 5 comfortably, hell mine can even fit 3 car seats on the rear bench. Not only can you fit 5 people, you can fit all the crap you need for a week vacation in the bed. If you have a boat, tow that too! Sure, tow caps on crew cabs are lower, but they are still ~8k. Do you…

Its a universal tool. Its a jack of all trades.

1st Gear: Honda’s glossy infotainment screen and piano black interface sucks. If someone is buying a $20-25k car, they probably don’t want a shit interface. And Honda has a shit interface. Mazda, Hyundai/Kia, some Toyotas do not have a shit interface.

1st Gear :

While we are at it, can the prices at the store factor in tax up front like every other civilized and even semi-civilized country in the world? 

Couldn’t agree more.  I never saw the point of separating it out like they do.  

how about getting rid of the Destination Charge altogether.

I love the Power Wagon, but the front end of that is pretty bad. It looks so cheap and plasticky. Curious to know what the aftermarket will give us in terms of grilles. 

Nice minivan.

Read the first sentence out loud. Don’t do it in a workplace.

That looks like a Titanic mistake.

This is Jalopnik.  No one here buys a new car, but they’ll complain when manufacturers don’t build the cars they won’t buy.

Don’t forget diesels are also throttled via fuel instead of a valve so pumping losses are much lower. Sucking air through a mostly closed throttle body is very inefficient.

I agree based on my experience with my F-150 with the 3.5L Ecoboost. I can get 24-25 MPG on the highway at 60-70 MPH and the RPMs below 1800 or so. If I go much over 70 MPH the fuel use goes up; above 80 even more so. Cut the MPH in half (or worse) if I do any towing.

This must be a “teaching to the test” thing where the turbo is tuned for the EPA cycle. Push it beyond that and it jumps off the efficiency cliff for the turbo and you have a small NA 4 losing it’s little mind trying to keep up.

So the same style of driving (normal highway use) that gets the Ford owners riled up debating whether their EcoBoost is more efficient than the old V8 is applicable to Chevy now. Got it.

Pick one. Any one.
