Lest we forget about the Ford DCT transmission lawsuits and subsequent settlements. Ditto for the H/K Theta engine issues. I had an ‘11 Sonata with a turbo theta and it grenaded itself spectacularly - I was able to convince them to replace it under warranty though, and a family member totaled it before we put 10k

Where I work now (an industrial building from the early 1900's repurposed into office space that opened in 2022) in a bustling downtown area, the parking garage is definitely a 6-story afterthought.  A gigantic concrete eyesore that doesn’t fit in with the refreshed architecture... that’s exactly what it is.

GM...  Putting the ICK in Buick since the malaise era!  Seriously - take a look at what the Korean and Japanese rivals are doing in this segment and it is clear that this will be yet another failure stateside.  Let’s hope that with the launch of their new signature paint color “Senile Beige” on the top trim, that

I want to like this car... I really do (I’m a Toyota guy, but this Chevy is quite a nice lookin’ sub-luxo barge).  I mean the fact that the hood ornament is still shiny, and the swivel emblem that hides the keyway for the trunk still works, that gets alot of points here.  But is this thing worth $8,500?  No way in

The mall here usually has a base model Camry on display. That really says alot, without having to say alot about where I live, doesn’t it?

So Cadillac now sells vehicles with an optional Jesus package?  Sign me up!

gymkhana 2022 - electric boogaloo.

Just happy to know that I’m not the only here who really digs Boards of Canada.

Just waiting for them to evoke the ol’ Malibu Maxx and come out with the Chevy TRAX MAXX!  Just don’t take the Trax to an actual track, lest you be laughed away by paxx of jaxx (asses)!

DAAAA JEWELS!

If my next car happens to be an automatic (or worse yet, a CVT), don’t put a dead pedal on the left. Dead pedals are depressing reminders that you don’t have a manual transmission.

Brexton’s nickname should be “Busch Lite” - not too hard to figure out which sponsorship deal he should pursue.

Wen Ford e-Country Squire?

This thing sounds like revving up a dyson stick vac inside of a 55 gallon steel drum.  That’s the ONLY thing I hear.

Now playing

My dad has an ‘06 Colorado with the 3.5L inline 5. I’ve driven that truck recently, and while I admire its factory tuning for some great low-end torque, the stock exhaust leaves it sounding like shit. It’s low idle speed also means that there is a bit of clatter like a diesel. Also, I-5's are inherently unbalanced,

Am I the only who got a kick out of the fact that someone named “Junker” works for Ford? Is that irony? Or is just something that is totally appropriate here?

Le Car..... is not the answer.

My 2014 Kia Cadenza has that feature and I use it all the time... In fact, you can configure the number of flashes for that feature at 3, 5 or 7. The only thing I hate about it, is that every once in a great while I will accidentally activate it when not needed, and my dumb ass has it set to seven blinks and those

Coming here to complain about a truly Jalop style car isn’t likely to win you alot of friends.  My ‘96 Geo Metro with a truly bangin’ 3-banger, power nothing and a five speed still has a warm place in my heart.  But hey, I laud you for sharing your take on the Mazda nonetheless.

2002 buICK rendezvous. i had to have components in the dash re-soldered because the entire thing would go dark occasionally. Half the lights for the buttons and switches died over time. Backup sensors worked occasionally, and the traction control worked never (i replaced the bad wheel speed sensor, it worked for a few
