The Roman Empire called, they want their hubris back.

Yeah that's how I read it too. Not clear at all though.

I'd imagine the tank is housing the electronics or, better, is a large storage compartment.

That first labradoodle line resulted in my spewing tamarind Jarritos and chunks of carnitas out my nose. I have burning salsa in my sinus cavity, well done.

I race three different ways, all on two wheels. I've instructed track days in 911s, they are great for defying their design limitations but not objectively great to really hustle (for me). Different strokes though, they look nice, which seems to satisfy 99% of 911 owners. There are an inordinate percentage of 911 guys…

I feel so bad for people paying sales tax on a car, some messed up shit right there.

Yup, no sedate cruising in traffic. It's not for that.

No. I'll leave the sedate 911 cruising to my dentist.

You misspelled "cheater". I kid, he's the best (cough, go Seahawks, cough.)

Hence the ad campaign, they know they aren't selling these to previous truck owners. They're looking to convert econobox drivers.

I can't even bring myself to downsize to full size. It's fish tank theory, once you've got all that room and ability why take on a new payment for less truck? I get 19 mpg and drive what amounts to an armored vehicle. No one I know in rural America is downsizing, they'll have to get their sales from city guy upsizing,…

Conversely, if you can get a monstrous living room on wheels which makes you feel better about your penis and it's really not much more dough.....why wouldn't you? This vehicle is looking for a market that may not exist.

Head gaskets aren't a wear item?

You made the right decision!

The Vibe is an adequate and not expensive vehicle, with the AWD and 30 mpg it was actually a bargain for long distance winter commuters. I've driven a Vibe, this thing couldn't equate in any way to a shitty Vibe. There's just no case to be made here other than ignorance or self-flaggelation.

Zero highway driving intended? No arm rest, no sale.

Someone will put a lift and some 35's on it.

Welcome to the future, all restaurants are now Taco Bell.

Yup. Get a nice DD like an 04 v6 accord coupe and still have enough left over for a brand new 2015 R1. 27k for this shit box is obscene.

That's right. Also seems that this is a power level that most American drivers (aka flatlanders) would be ill equipped to keep on the road due to torque steer and power understeer. I imagine Ford attorneys being much more comfortable with 330hp hatch as an AWD.
