Objectively speaking, the Challenger is still competitive with the Ford and Chevy counterparts, and actually outsells the Camaro. It may fit into a slightly different niche, being more of roomier GT muscle car and without quite the same finesse of the chassis, but your characterization is not accurate.

That number is where the Scatpack Charger/Challenger starts. Are you suggesting that instead of the 485 hp, they provide 707 for the same pricepoint? The existing configuration is already comparable to the pricing for the Camaro/Mustang, and there really is not an apples to apples competitor for the Charger.    

The Nissan 370z is there. To be fair, the updates to the Dodges have been more substantive.

Dark brown interiors look great. The Noble brown interior in the Lexus RX, as an example, looks fantastic.

The early 2000s seemed to have had some awful tan interiors. I had a 2003 Acura RSX with the tan interior, and it just looked boring. The black interior option for the car looked much better. I do like darker browns, though...  

Your car, your rules. I personally find it uncomfortable to drive without my shoes on and in my experience, the carpet wear is a negligible issue.

I personally like the addition of the photos, and sometimes the detailed shots relate to comments made in the article, which is also nice. In this particular case, there were a few that were impacted by a dirty sensor and could have been omitted, but I thought the article was great.

I agree. Also, the JK/JL series can also fit really large tires with alot less effort than any CJ/YJ/TJ Jeep, and the longer wheelbase for the 4 door makes the proportions look better with those bigger tires.

I agree. I have the white letters facing out on my Tacoma and think it looks great.

The Jeeps have been going downhill since they switched away from square lights.

The adaptive cruise control on my wife’s Forester XT is great. I personally think the lane keeping assist system is less effective; it seems to wander alot before engaging, but perhaps that helps to discourage reliance on the system.

That was always my approach. I’ll let you lead the way, and if there is a highway patrol officer sitting on the shoulder, he/she will see you first. On longer drives through the middle of nowhere, the cars will swap positions every 30 minutes or so, which allows the other car to take the risk.

I’m a millennial, and also like the HD Iron 883. I also like loud abnoxious things, so I don’t have any major issues with Harley Davidsons, anyways. My biggest barrier to a bike is that my father in law died on his, and my brother had a decent enough accident on his GSXR, that I just won’t do it.  

JK74 should be referring the older 4 door Wrangler, not the newly released one.

I was adapting the phrase “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch,” meaning that you don’t get the benefits of diesel for nothing. Whether the penalty is as dire as DeWayne seems it to be is up to each respective consumer. I personally would get the 5.0, but I like sound of a V8 over a diesel, fuel economy be…

Tires do make a good difference; I get a fuel economy penalty for the bigger, e-rated tires on my Tacoma. I wonder what tires the 2wd diesel is going to get.

I think we are skipping over the fact that the 2wd diesel is getting the mileage reported due to its longer gearing. His argument is oddly framed, but the longer (or “slower”) gearing is a key component; you don’t get a free lunch with the diesel.

FCA began a decade AFTER his 2004...

I actually think the sensor in the middle of the kidney grill seems to work, provided you get the blackout trim option. The chrome surrounds on regular BMWs with the black sensor in the middle does look a bit off.

I agree - I think the rear of the current 2 series seems frumpy.
