No one who doesn’t read car blogs cares about manual transmissions. Nor CVT’s, except to the extent of whether they are reliable or costly in terms of ownership experience. No one cars about the Xterra either.

you mean “the right kind of people”

Don’t hate me.
Kia Soul.

Wouldn’t a CT have a “eCVT” because it’s a hybrid? which is a different animal from a CVT transmission and a ICE.

I’m kind of sick of Chargers.

I said, “fuck you, don’t tell me what I am.”

“which was built at the company’s Shochaux factory in France’s Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region near the Austrian border.”

Cars & Coffee idiots aside, although I wouldn’t buy one for myself, I’ve long respected the Mustang. Yes its not FWD, but with good tires it should be fine since it has ABS, TCS, StabiliTrak and all that stuff. It should be around the size and budget he wants and you don’t have to get the fully loaded V-8 spec to have…

Also to add, I like Skoda’s lineup of wagons.

Ford always had a strong wagon game going back decades.

I’d go with normie compact cars like Corolla, Forte, Civic, Mazda3. Was in northern Europe a few weeks ago and the Corolla estate is a good size. Offer something affordable with just enough extra room to address people’s space/size anxiety.

And they smuggled fentenal in the tires.

That was the whole original point NAFTA.

True, but they still think they’re real farmers. Same way that a lot of people support right-wing tax & economic policy, because they think they’ll someday magically be rich too.

I’m leaning towards the Sport trim instead of Sport Touring. Having cloth seats instead of leather partially takes care of the lack of ventilation with the leather.

Fine. I intended to refer to parent company.

They were not “forced to sell re-badged crap.” They chose that direction.

1) I don’t care either way.
2) I don’t expect any automaker cost savings to accrue to the consumer.
3) This somewhat shows how Congress, especially the Senate, skews the federal interest towards rural areas. They hate big bad federal government unless they have control of it and can use it to get what they want.

My first “real job” began in the early 90's and required a little travel now & then. I can’t count how many times this exact car greeted me on the Avis rental lot. It’s, a car. J-car roots, so it could outlive us all.

I'm tired of that old guy.
