The thing about the Chipotle advertisement is that the guac might not be part of the name, but the ad almost certainly shows guac. The ass covering comes in the form of an asterisk and some fine print that options are extra. Kind of like every car advertisement that shows the top spec along with a “starting” MSRP and…

“There’s a reason they were called Cheap Jeeps.”

At minimum, it seems like a sure way to get an appeal thrown out.

Eagle is a bit of a stretch. I think Chrysler only used the name for their captive import brand because the trademark came with the AMC purchase. The original car was killed off before the brand launched.

Continental has always been in a bit of a grey area as well.

I am pretty sure I saw the Eddie Bauer Explorer in the comments. How in the hell did that not make the list?

The Vortec 2200 was actually pretty reliable. It made the Cavalier the kind of car that will drive badly pretty much forever.

And how many drivers who have passed the test make it fifty years without getting pulled over?

EPA combined mileage is not just the average of city and highway. It doesn’t help to check the numbers if you’re using the wrong equation.

Like literally this exact thing. They put two extra cars into the first forty laps of the 1990 Daytona 500 to get footage for Days of Thunder. Cruise wasn’t allowed to drive though.

GM is still operating under a mid 20th century concept of brand loyalty. Once they have you as a customer they feel no motivation to keep you happy, because they think you’ll get disowned by your family if you go to another brand.

That kind of greedy capitalist thinking isn’t permitted around here.

Most of these stolen Kias are plenty easy to locate, because they get crashed within hours.

The problem is that an air tag does not secure anything. Once something has already been stolen, your security has officially failed. And once a vehicle has been stolen, getting it recovered is unlikely to make the fight with your insurance company to get it put back together any less messy.

I’m sure the reality is that there’s a blanket NHTSA policy that all recall work must be performed by manufacturer representatives, not the customers. It just looks so stupid in this case.

“Until then, however, the American automaker has told owners of affected vehicles not to drive their new cars.“

And a “Heartbeat of America” decal across the top of the windshield.

Big wheels/low profile tires. Spend more on rims so you can spend more on tires just to make the ride worse. And most of the time, the trim with the bigger wheels doesn’t even have bigger brake rotors.

“Aside from the fact that he wanted the town where his yacht was built to dismantle a historic bridge to movie it,”
