Yes, except for the last part, if you reach for a gun during an arrest, it becomes a death penalty offense that administered instantly on the spot. 

I rarely take the manufacturer’s side, but they did seem to promise they were selling something that was going away, and I am sure the dealer’s gouged them accordingly for the privilege on top of the tall money Dodge was asking. Had the car come back after 5, or even 10 years from now, it would be different, but a…

I consider this and the Oldsmobile Aurora (first generation, please) as two of GM’s last good, original car designs. The abrupt termination of the headlights in the front always has bugged me and seems to fight the shape of the grille, but overall quite nice with heavenly comfort and much more room inside than you…

Sylphy sounds like Syphilis. It is better looking, but if Nissan had done a better job copying Elantra it could have been even prettier.

That’s actually a very malaise era color combination, especially the exterior. Beyond the thousands of Cadillacs (Cadillac held onto that color with matching interior as long at least through the sixth and first FWD de Ville generation ending in 1993) even Saturn was on that bandwagon. Also, see Halston Ultra Suede,…

2nd gear - Why even bother having the IRA if it has no teeth? If a company is physically in he process of building a US plant, it would be fair to grant them a transition period, but otherwise, no. I don’t think it hurts just this one time to give North America an advantage if it gooses EV adoption and production.

GM sucks. I wish we’d let them go under when we had the chance. The bail out was to save jobs but all they’ve done is close plants, get rid of workers, and give us all the middle finger by resurrecting failed brands they dumped as part of the restructuring. Badge-engineered Pontiac and Oldsmobile versions of Blazer…

Great idea. Let’s send them all our 4-door pickups and SUVs larger than a CR-V/RAV-4, too.

The smaller the car, the more superior a two-door configuration becomes as entry/exit is much easier when you don’t have to body slam the central pillar to get in and out. My 2013 Golf TDI would have been miserable as a 4-door instead of two door.

Maybe it’s unflattering pictures but those front seats look and steering wheel more like 129,000 miles. Vinyl top could have been added when new, but it’s not original and this car would not have left the factory with wires and black wall tires.

No, they didn’t say accident-free, they said clean. No one at the dealership spilled food or drink on it after they printed it off, so they can truthfully call it clean.

Exactly, you want time capsule pricing you offer the vehicle with the original wheel/tire combo, no mods (or mods undone) and you professionally clean the carpets. Hello.

I’m on the fence. For that money, the wheels need to damn well be original and they could have at least ponied up for professionally steam cleaning the interior, if not outright replacing the carpet altogether. I also would be substantially more enthusiastic about just about any other color combination, black and…

I’m really glad to see non-metallics coming on strong, now if we could only pair that with actual color colors, things would be quite exciting. Right now the mentality seems to be if it’s a somewhat daring color, it has to also be metallic.

1st gear - Sadly, the industry won’t take this seriously until a nefarious hacker causes a mass casualty event.

A Mustang EcoBoost (eBoost, Ford, you’re welcome) coupe that didn’t cost more than the gas powered version.

After Dieselgate, are things like this from VW really that much of a surprise?

Karma, as they say, is a bitch. Dealers brought direct sales upon themselves. Manufacturers invest billions in development, take all the risks of getting it right, and then have to cap their profits to achieve a marketable price point on the final product. But the dealer, who comparatively invested squat, feels free…

95% of people who bought these never used them, so the odds of finding a like-new cream puff are strongly in your favor.

At this point all the cars need to be recalled, fully disabled of their (not ready for prime time) autonomous settings (hardware and software) and the customers reimbursed about 50% of what they paid since they didn’t get what they paid for.
