Why do small cars have to have such high rooflines these days? Very few people wear hats now.

Likely a 100 percent failure rate on an $1800 part that renders the car totally inoperable after as little as 4 years? I don’t know of any other automaker with a defect that egregious in this day and age.

Wow, this is one of the rare cases where I really do agree with this sort of comparison, the similarities are uncanny. Though, I think the Kia actually looks more elegant and premium. 

Remember when BMW bought an entire automaker specifically so they could sell smaller, more fuel efficient, FWD cars without diluting the BMW brand? 

Apparently, they grabbed the trademark after it was allowed to lapse. Wonder how close to the original formula theyve gotten.

And they're both owned by the same company now, and since Oreo is the stronger/better known brand, Hydrox is kept off the market outside of limited promotions. Same thing that happened to Frusen Gladje (rip). 

I would think all GM would have to do to lure Mustang owners is put a big sign in the windshields of all Camaros saying “Camaro: the Paint Doesn’t Bubble and Peel Off After 3 Years!”

And an interesting skyscraper, too.

It doesn't sound very cheap, tbh. 

Headlights had to be a certain height above the ground and had to be fixed in place, with no covering over them while in operation. A product of someone in Washington in 1940 deciding that headlights had now attained perfection and would never get any better, combined with more people in Washington in 1968 deciding…

I still remember GM CEO Dan Akerson’s comments about the XTS when it first launched - “it won’t blow the doors off the competition, but it will be competitive”.

Salvage all the unique manual parts to convert another, better ZJ, junk the rest. Seriously, its beyond saving, and I should live so long to see it be worth fixing.

Tammy Faye Bakker was actually a pretty decent person, or at least became one after the divorce.

They make their home - they urinate in there.

Also keeps dirt from collecting on the window, especially handy in places that spray brine in the winter.

Thats not just the trunk lid, it’s the lido deck. Perfect for sunbathing and skeet shooting while under way.

Yeah, but we’re talking about light trucks here, these are for farmers and tradespeople who need the rugged utility. Not like everyone is running around in pickups and 4x4s for everyday office commutes and grocery shopping. That’s why there’s even a whole separate CAFE class.

The cosmetics aren’t terrible, fix the structural rust issues, push out the roof dent, give it a through cleaning and detailing, and a bit of touch up paint, and it could be a decent driver that looks fairly presentable from 10ft. Enjoy it that way, and do a more through restoration when finances permit it years or…

That was before Hawaii was part of America, though. American businessmen overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy 5 years before we quasi-legally annexed the country. 

Right, just be polite, professional, and courteous. If a young woman comes into the showroom by herself, just nicely ask her to leave and come back later with her father or, possibly, a policeman with whom you can discuss her needs and finances.
