Dammit, that is 1000% better. WTF.

Maybe Honda of America is afraid that would take sales away from the pricier CR-V (I have a maybe-not-really conspiracy theory all entry level crossovers are especially shitty just to get you into the stealership so they can talk you into the next size (or two or three) up for only $8…

If an Escape was beat with an ugly stick it would look like this. The outgoing models were 100 times better looking with the only major flaw being the idiotically small mail slot rear window.

Plus the extra weight.

They may call it an estate but I think the term is going to be about as accurate as what passes for a coupe these days. Then there will be a rash of them from everyone, forever ruining the word estate, just like coupe has been ruined.

I guess he should have specified car you’d want to own that anyone other than a one-percenter could afford.

It’s not been built yet. When someone has the balls to built an affordable pony car, I’m all in. But I don’t want a ********ed crossover or quirky pod car.

1st gear: Exactly! State’s Rights! State’s Rights! Except when we don’t like what they are doing. Hypocrites, every last one of them. 

Sir Vival paired with Aurora would make a great sci-fi killer B.

How quickly they forget. By the time this arrives it will be a crossover as stimulating as day-old Wonder Bread.

Cringe, thy name is Musk.

How does anybody look at slithery Depp with that obvious burning hatred in his eyes and see an angel?

Right great cars, heinous, underhanded dealers. I could write an article about all the ways I was lied to during the purchase process. Despite thinking they make one of the best cars available, loving the car when I owned it, and the company itself having good intentions and admirable initiatives, I’ll never buy…

Right idea, wrong approach. Two passengers, special power harnessing seats and an unlimited supply of Taco Bell bean burritos.

Overall it’s kinda pretty if it could actually get to market looking that clean, but Tesla has ruined gullwing doors forever now with their misshapen turd Model X. That red LED strip on convention doors would be a splashy touch though.

3rd gear: Slight edit...

I agree so much I suggest an even stronger headline along the lines of...

More of this needs to happen. In our haste to widen lanes locally we created a series of hellish blind curves all over town, and all created with no breakdown lane. Oh, OK, all we need to do is get rid of the breakdown lane and no one will break down. Why did no one think of this before?!?

This isn’t just a no, this is an Oh, God, no.

KIA’s pricing was too aggressive. A base model with pricing on par with a base EcoBoost would have been a game changer. On top of this, dealer MSRP+++ madness.

KIA and Hyundai have the most appealing products of everyone right now but the horror stories about the dealers never end. Plus they need to get these brands…

I agree. And instead of just copying the Mercedes (including the price), the Hyundai Sonata and Elantra are twice as attractive for half the price.
