Weirdest spoiler? Hyundai is making a small truck for the US market.

Torch is right. And having two of the same car in one household is actually really logical, sort of like Southwest Airlines but without the MCAS issues.

It’s kind of hard to fault them for not selling a car the size of an Equinox/Traverse for the price of a Tahoe/Suburban. That would not do well at all. 

I think the high performance route is the way to roll things out. The hi-po buyer is willing to spend more and accept some compromises in the name of performance. Plus there’s a halo effect.

The C7 looks like a front engine Ferrari. The C8 looks like a mid-engine Camaro.

Well there are a few new additions to products on the market that do add a ladder to the bed- just sayin’...

Insurance is usually higher than average on a Civic given the sheer volume of them. And if this guy’s brother only has five grand to spend I’d bet keeping insurance to a minimum is also on his mind. For that reason, the Matrix was the most sane choice as a balance of everything. But I’d take the Panther and spend my…

You should definitely give yourself a one star rating, to alert yourself of your shady business practices. 

Can you trust a lay person’s repair on the road when he fixes your brakes? Your power steering? Your transmission?

I would happily pay an independent mechanic the dealer rates if he gives me more careful service than the dealer. Every time I take my car into the dealer I’m curious as to what issue I will find. First time I took my new Mercedes to the dealer I got it back with a scuffed bumper (they took care of it). Then a…

At least we all have that in common.

I’m my own mechanic, but I overcharge myself anyway, because I’m a jerk.
