This looks good, but, damnit, I was really hoping for another box design. I seem to be in the minority here, but I thought the Patriot was a handsome little Jeep. I wish they would have veered that direction instead of towards the awkward roundness of the Compass.

I’m just surprised it’s not, yet, made entirely out of plastic.

Unrelated: From the thumbnail, that Dodge looked like a Bentayga. Don’t tell Bentley...

How about Mary plays flower girl, but spreads Benjamins instead of petals

Maybe it was dealers trying to talk buyers into stepping up from a lowly sedan-based station wagon to the shiny new (and more expensive) minivans and SUVs of the 80s and 90s, maybe even the full-size vans of the 70s.

Any reason you couldn’t do the same thing to the hybrid model?

Did you compare it (test drive) to the hybrid? I wonder if the added electric torque helps at all.

I wonder if Ford’s thinking was more along the lines of: keeping the Ranger will only poach buyers from the bottom end of the F-150 market, and would lead to lower sales numbers on the world-conquering F-150.

Or, at some point, you need to throw down a product and make more money, even if you haven’t found the most ideal solution yet.

Thank you for your contributions to modern science.

How about Silverado, he could go by Silvie for short.

You;ve got a point... How far off are we from being able to control our cars from our phones like giant RCs?

Could Chevy/GM leverage their existing dealership networks to launch a charging infrastructure? Sure it’s not perfect, but they’ve already got the land, and they ‘re almost always in high-traffic areas for other reasons.

Driving up average transaction prices benefit automakers, so it makes sense fo them to bill this as a “people’s car” so that they can redefine what a “people’s car” costs.

Can someone explain the lease trade-in situation? How is that even possible?

Hows the air-to-cream ratio go? I remember learning that gelato and ice cream are essentially the same, save for how air is used or something.

Props to him for the elegantly flowing hashtagged sentences

Can you tell auto or manual just by looking at the exterior?

You’re right, it has a super rad patina vibe to it. I wonder if you could approach a more copper/green look with a coat of blue?

I used it specifically to spray the rusty metal hinges on my wife’s Jeep. From a few steps away, it looks like a nice matte finish, though up close you can see the muted texture of the rust. It’s not perfect, but it looks a hell of a lot better than rust when done well.
