Furthermore, the fact that lunatics like Marjorie Taylor Green and Matt Gaetz are being elected all over the country proves that these assertions that “These few lunatics are not representative of the whole party” don’t hold water.

I haven’t seen that many on the left (myself included) calling for “unity” with the fascist right. And I don’t think having no desire to unify with fascists equates to wanting a political war. It’s just wanting to undo damage done and move forward.

I love the 90s bed.. on a 90s truck

“Open the doors and you’re greeted to another surprise”

Just.. I don’t.. WHY?

Let’s be fair. They replaced it with new MUCH MORE unreliable running gear that will be far more difficult and expensive to repair.

I was just having the same thought! My sister had a late 80s Cutlass in high school and I'm pretty sure the ash tray was the only part of the interior that wasn't some cheap shitty plastic.

The discussion of this thing's off road chops makes me giggle.

I really like the overall shape of this car, but why does every automaker for the last 5 years think they have to make some kind of design statement with the goddamn C/D-pillars? Just continue the cohesive design of the rest of the vehicle. I’ve never seen a weird scooped out section of window (looking at you…

It would definitely be more unique. If they can’t pull off attractive, I guess that at least counts for something.

Nope.

My point was more that "Crossovers are bad!" is a take that's been pounded to a meaty pulp on this particular site. I agree with a lot of what you're saying and am all for diversity of choice. I just also understand/accept that manufacturers are going to make more of what sells more and again, I think "all crossovers…

“They suck so bad at everything, why settle for mediocrity?”

What do you think they will lose popularity in favor of? It seems to me that the rise of the CUV is due in large part to people wanting to feel safer (whether they in fact are or not, people feel less dwarfed) in the vicinity of all of the large trucks on the road, while not wanting to sacrifice the efficiency and…

And yes, I say this as the guy who has moaned about the word “coupe” being used to describe vehicles with more than two doors on multiple occasions. Some hills are worth dying on.

Crossovers and SUVs exist:

It may have more of the “vertical” appearance usually expected of trucks, but it’s still ugly. The first Ridgeline had the best front end in terms of “looking like a truck” but was unfortunately still ugly. The steeply raked A-pillars have never helped their case either.

I’d say it’s definitely an attempt to keep from riling people up. Some would be mad it’s a “luxury vehicle” and some would be mad they didn’t buy American. I think it was the right call, although I’m sure some articles will pop up stoking outrage: “Postal Service Hiding Egregious Spending on Foreign Luxury…

“This must mean that Ford is having range and/or performance anxiety over its recently-teased and all-new all-electric F-150 pickup.”
