That slope in the rear likely lowers drag, like the classic Prius shape. At the expense of interior space. Compromises aside, it looks much better than previous attempts at a large low drag vehicle.

That gen Taurus wagon? Hell No.

They are just trying to hide that is has a sloping roof in the rear which a lot of people seem not to like because it affects rear head room.

Ok, def get the take here, but you’re talking about this truck/car/vehicle like it was supposed to be some sort of rational option in the first place. People with Bentley/Rolls money have generally reached a point in life where financial decisions, under seven figures, are inconsequential. Someone with a net worth of…

The G5 was actually on sale *after* the G6. Both were sold concurrently to cement Pontiac’s ineptitude before they were shut down.

Perhaps one of the finest examples of this segment is the Acura 3.2CL Type S, specifically the 2003 model, which could be had with a buttery smooth 6-speed, a LSD, a bulletproof J32 Honda V6, and timeless, handsome good looks. The ultimate grand tourer.

Seeing as most of these are not actually “great”, here’s another forgotten coupe, the Toyota Echo Coupe

I think it’s supposed to look like this:

“When you count on ABS and just mash the pedal, that’s exactly what happens.”

He is not. Ford did however change the spark plug design after a few years. When I changed the plugs on my 07, my mechanic gave me the part number of the updated 1-piece design.

The problem with it isn’t that it won’t last 250k miles. The question is if it will still be yours in 250k miles.

I was an automotive engineer at the time this test was being developed. I worked for a major automotive company in R&D and specifically in doors.

Easy marketing.

only their limited edition unobtanium halo models that basically require factory service for everything.

The honda Pilot seemed nice until I saw that the base model was priced at a couple of dollars less than $50,000

there was a cheat code fora PT cruiser and a Prowler and it was like the fastest car in the game. Wonder if chrysler paid for that marketing? lol 

Top gear rally was my favorite n64 racing game.

Recommending a 80K mile ex-rental as a responsible purchase has to be one of the stupidest hot takes I’ve seen here in years.

Don’t buy a high-mileage RENTAL car that the company is selling off due to “high repair costs” (you’ve lost out on the first 80,000 miles of reliability) and “frequent damage” (which probably means the cheapest ones are likely the ones that have been damaged) if you’re trying to save money. Please.
