Agreed on all counts. As much as people like the SW20, the ZZW30 was the best driver’s car of the three, and that’s what I’d want to see most from a 4th gen MR2.

That sucks. There’s no thrill to speed if there’s no danger in it. The original FH was touted as Forza physics in an open world, and it has -never- delivered on that.

Are there cops yet? Or anything to create an impediment you have to learn how to avoid to be able to go fast on public roads?

It’s certainly going to be harder for a cop to pull you over for weaving if you have a good lane-centering assist.

Drunk driving is bad, sure, and it’s also been demonized to the point of parody.

That paint scheme looks gorgeous on the Veloster. Here, not so much.

The only fault I can find with the base Bronco is the color choices.  If you could get it in a color that wasn’t mind-numbingly boring, it’d be perfect.

The base would be perfect IF Mazda would stop putting open diffs in them.

100% they’re doing this exactly for the publicity it just got.

It’s easy to say you have the most when you price them at over 2xMSRP.  I hope they see birthdays on that lot.

Someone just needs to make an NPO doing vehicle value assessments and value everything at $6999 or less.

It wasn’t the amount of power that bothered me, it was how it came on. I didn’t like having to rev the damn thing to 5k+ to get it to hustle.

I considered a Ridgeline, but hated how the engine felt.  Just not at all how I want a motor in a pickup to behave.

I’m gonna guess that the Ecoboost AWD Maverick will get +/- 1mpg vs the Ecoboost AWD Escape, which puts it around 23/31, (26 combined).  Not terrible for an AWD truck with around 250hp/280tq.

I love the 2+2 setup with the extended cab style doors.

Makes sense to me:

...which is what the Bronco Sport is built on.

I really want this to be good, but I’m having a hard time imagining it as anything but a Bronco Sport given the Explorer Sport Trac treatment.

Does Ford even have a manual that could go in the Maverick?  Near as I know all their transverse transmissions are automatics, and the Maverick is using a transverse setup like the Bronco Sport and Escape.

I think Dodge has chosen to burn out as the last bastion of crazy ICE motors. They won’t go hybrid, much less EV, and have chosen to instead go down with the ship. I can kinda respect it.
