I don’t own or want one, just giving credit where it’s due.

“I have no idea who these are for, why would anybody buy a Mitsubishi over a Nissan?”

Because competitor’s four cylinders were faster all while being far more efficient.

No, he hasn’t.

“From what I’ve read about it it’s substantially similar to the previous one under the skin, so I doubt anything I listed would change too much.”

What were you expecting for proportions??? It’s a crossover, you can’t really change it up that much without sacreficing cargo/people carrying capacity. Yes, you can identify it as a Mitsu from the corporate face but it’s significantly different.

You had the last generation Rogue which was a hateful pile of shit.

Roadkill or not.

V8 is up front, not in the ass end.

Yes it has AA, it’s Nissan’s system which has it.

I don’t know if it’s a burn seeing as that the new Rogue is getting really good reviews.  

I actually kind of dig it.

Car ownership isn’t for everyone.

Boomer Magnet.

“Am I crazy or is this what they need to do?”

I couldn’t agree more.  What a stupid move it was.  

“Acura has REALLY slipped in reliability over the last few years”

Meth.  Not even once.  

Infiniti and Acura aren’t a 1:1 comparison to MB, Audi or BMW but both are significantly less money and more reliable while still being 8/10ths of the way there.

Acura, Mercedes and Mazda’s I never had a problem with.  I actually found them quite good after using them for a bit.
