my bad for commenting in the wrong spot. But yes the new ones are extremely poorly made. I remember with both the 02 my mother used to have and my friends 09 that while not a fun car they’d be decent as dailies and run forever. However when i saw the new one, honestly they put upgrades on the most pointless stuff…

Toyota needs to stop making cars with god awful blindspots. I love the fact that a corolla gets good MPG and will drive forever, it’s close to a perfect DD. I HATE that the newest rendition is cheaper on the inside than any past renditions and has blind spots. Seriously who at toyota thought making headrests so high…

which is precisely the problem with NASCAR anyway. You used to race what you brought. If they’re going to make it all “spec” racing then create 30 identical cars, slap different colored stickers and say here do this instead, oh wait that’s boring AF.

It’s not any different than your government taxing you 50% of your income into poverty. At least in our system we can choose to not partake in a company that drives it’s prices up too high. You guys are stuck with taxes AND adhering to stockholders anyway.

The reason we have zillion dollar lawsuits is to prevent morons like the audi driver in this video from doing this. Hey you wanna flip across traffic and land on an SUV, fine, but you’re gonna buy me a small Island and a brand new SUV when this is over with. Europeans need to learn to save this for the race track!

Not to mention that any halfway decent car GM had was NOT a GM within the last 30 years. Geo kicked butt, saturns were cheap and reliable, pontiacs couldn’t die no matter how many fat girls drove them, but GM they fall apart in 6 months, get mad their “loyal” buyers got their other brands, so then they killed said…

True story i once saw a 2 door version with a snow plow mounted on the front barreling down a street in the dead of winter. #OnlyInWisconsin

No someone needs to monster truck her CRV at night!

It’s simpler than everyone thinks. New cars are made to total in an effort to keep getting you to buy a new car. Why let someone replace a $200 bumper when you cam make them spend $15,000.

the upper east coast is a joke. At least they’ll all be underwater when the tide finally comes in within a couple of years.

The poor voted when their votes counted towards a system that allowed for rich to corrupt it, therefore they are at fault. the whole system historically was avoidable in the 50s and imploded in the 80s to irreversability. Now we have ppl wanting to just attack the rich. The rich aren’t fully at fault. Capitalism means…

but did they advertise it? not really. I didn’t know an AWD 200 existed until I found out they were discontinued. Also curious what the price point on it was w/ AWD. the key thing is ppl want AWD at an affordable rate. I.E. impreza vs corolla pricing.

The problem, which no one here will address, is Wallstreet, specifically it’s recovery post WW2. Once the companies started working for the “stock holder” and not for themselves and their employees is when wages stagnated and got us to where we are today. The boomer generation got us into this consumerism death spiral…

I wanna know how they factor the “average car sale.” like average new vehicle sold, because most people aren’t buying new because they can’t freaking afford it. Also does this constrew the uptick in high performance sports cars (i.e. trying to average 2 sold camrys with a porsche 911). My guess is these numbers are…

In response to the declining “midsize” segment, has anyone yet comprehended that “compact” are now the size of a midsize and “midsize” are now fullsize. For example, my lancer is hardly smaller than a subaru legacy and also larger than my first car (ford contour) which are both midsize. Meanwhile police are now using…

I agree although I think there’s a couple things in play that the auto industry has ignored. 1. people aren’t buying a new car just to get a new car like they did pre-recession. Once ppl lost money they started saving money. 2. millenials are broke as shit, aka we can’t buy new cars every other year (thanks student…

Why? In the end it comes down to who paid for it? If I paid for it then it’s my seat it’s not my fault Delta overbooked. This is exactly why it needs to become illegal to sell each seat more than once. On the upside i’m slowly reducing my travel options. Delta, United, and American are all off my list of airlines i’ll…

STI over WRX. The WRX is more up to date and at this point you’re basically just buying the STI for nostalgic purposes. Yes STI is still better on the track but how many of you actually go more than twice a year ... exactly!

A WRX is a better Road car, an STI is a better track car. Any STI owner arguing their track car is better on the highway is at fault for trying to justify why they threw several grand out the window in the same retrospect as to why a WRX owner would be at fault for trying to say saving the couple grand was worth it…

I’m gonna be that a-hole who says this old man needs to be locked up. There’s a difference between incompetence when you hit a light pole and incompetence when you kill 3 people, possibly 5, and injure more. Do the crime do the time, regardless of intent this is still vehicular manslaughter.
