I don’t think of it in terms of headcount and exactly how many jobs are “won” or “lost.” It’s more about supply chain issues, industrial & engineering capacity, and big picture stuff. If the US auto industry doesn’t transition at a pace somewhat in step with the globe, then the industry suffers because they don’t have…

1969? Are you sure you’re not off a decade?

Definitely the 2012+ Focus. Good engine, and an otherwise good handling car that was more spartan, but pretty close to a Mazda3 in terms of driving manners.

I had a Saab 9-2x non-turbo with the 4AT, and the trans was 75% of the reason(s) I got rid of it quickly.

I’ve never understood these. ND

I sort of side with the carmakers. There is no obligation to provide anti-theft devices. Kind of a side-effect of technology creep. Next someone will sue because they changed lanes and got side-swiped, and they’ll claim a blind-spot detection system wasn’t standard, thus putting them in danger. Then, somebody will…

These stories are what slowly pull me over to the ACAB side.

I’m flexible, and patient, but I really don’t want to get cornered into buying something I don’t really want. I’ll just end up resenting the thing. I’d rather just double down on maintenance, expect repairs, and keep what I have.

Just for gits and giggles I’d pay maybe $2k for this. The marketing isn’t helping the sale. Wipe your lens off ffs.

We had one of these, an early quad-headlight version, baby blue color. I only remember these as baby blue or yellow. Oddly, I still remember the interior “new car” smell- which some Toyotas today remind me of. I was only 5 or 6 maybe. The truck was a lemon and got quickly replaced by a used bare-bones short bed 75 Chev…

The Cadillac slide shows the HT4100, but the text is about the V-8-6-4. They’re not the same thing. At all.

But in the end you’re still driving a Corolla.

Look kids!! A Ferrari that’s not red.

Smart!

You must not be from around here.

PG gonna PG.

This is why Chipotle shouldn't be in airports.

I’ve always had respectful admiration for the Versa, Mk1 and 3 especially. I’m one of the dozens of Americans who loves hatchbacks. A Dacia Sandero from the corporate stable would totally work for me.

Leave your pets at home.
ESA’s are pets.

Sometimes I think A-bodys are like American old Volvos. I could totally rock a Century or Ciera wagon with some snows or ATs and some rally lights.
