I think it’s important to say that “the situation in Syria” is “The US invaded Syria - a sovereign nation with which Russia has more or less friendly relations - with the goal of circumventing Russian natural gas pipelines and has been committing acts of war against Syria for many years.”

Love how every time it’s a story about Canada they just throw up their hands like they can’t figure it out, even though it’s the same as if they were writing about American towns they never heard of.

Sounds good, except for the DCT, give me a manual. I for one don’t find it annoying in traffic.

Those were Trackers sold at Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealers, basically. They then became Asüna Sunrunners before becoming Pontiac Sunrunners. Everyone wanted to sell Trackers but GM dealerships in Canada were split into two dealer networks. 

I also remember seeing GMC-badged Canadian-plated Trackers. Where do those fit in?

Part of me thinks a square body, live axle SUV and a sportyish turbo coupe (handling by lotus!) would make a good garage pair today.

I mostly agree, but I would rather actual buttons than just one smooth piece of glass. I feel like I would often go to hit a button, hit a bump in the road, and my finger would slide across the glass and hit something else.

He didn’t spend his money on anything else. Just cars and ipo’s. His house is only 1200 square feet. His warehouse of cars is

I get that, but on the other hand, I wish they did something a bit more in the spirit of the Juke’s creativity instead of the bland trend-chasing of the Kicks.

Counterpoint: it was an interesting design that pushed “where CUVs could go” looks wise. It wasn’t a performance machine but it was good at what it did. It wasn’t iconic, but a lot more clever than people have its credit.

His tunnel boring machine must have hit a major breakthrough, given the rate at which he is digging himself in a hole.

Got it all backwards.  It should be a GAZ Volga 21 or 24 on a Gelandewagen chassis.  Or a UAZ or some sort. 

it’s barely 1/20th of a Prince Edward Island

Always Oppo. Always.

Agreed. It’s marketing BS at it’s worst.

Sounds like Toyota’s other “GT” racing car, minus the tube steel frame and with more carbon fiber.
