Sometimes I wonder if people actively try to abuse their cars. Basic maintenance is relatively cheap even if you can't do it yourself.

Yea eff that guy. Its basically a wagon, manual, and has an odd number of cylinders. Totally Jalop.

Just before I moved to the city where I live they finished construction on a new Mitsu dealer. They seem to have few options but all of them have wacky colors and wacky colored wheels. I've even seen fake wood grain on the doors of a couple.

It seems no manufacturer has realized that the Jeep Wrangler has zero competition and that's a problem. Mitsu has a huge chance.

Is it not still common practice (or somewhat common) to buy the vehicle at the end of the lease?

is there a chance the track could bend?

It's not so much that that's a bad price, even for a sh*tbomb like this, but god only knows what you would have to do to get it going again. That car is probably only worth 3K in good condition? Tops?

I actually kind of want an SRT6, mostly because I'm a mopar guy and can tolerate interiors made of recycled happy meal toys, but also because theyre absurdly rare.

I'm actually waiting on bated breath for this...the suggestion from Tapas also sounds good.

Well just when I thought I was doing okay for myself, here comes someone to bring me down a notch.

I absolutely love Noble for making a true driver's car.

It was something I had read somewhere. It makes sense at it doesn't make sense at the same time. The Durango is a solid suv. Aside from independent suspension at all four corners, its rigid enough for people who want truck type capabilities but don't want a truck. It sells well enough and it fits right in the…

I believe the Durango is on the chopping block as well. To be moved over to the Jeep lineup or so I heard.

Actually at newer Mitsu dealer was built not long before I moved here, so maybe 2 years old. It's a small dealer ship by tier 1 dealer standards. They do a lot of used car business. But their lineup would be confusing if it weren't so boring.

I think I got to drive a few 4 cylinder models. I bet the VR6 is a lot more rewarding. I loved the looks of the car, and could live with it everyday. But it just wasn't enough to get me to the altar. I'm relieved to know you have had a positive experience with that car.

I'm 5'7" without shoes. I could DD a Lotus Exige comfortably.

You're welcome. Jetta Sportwagen wouldn't be a bad choice, maybe a Passat diesel. Passat Wagon in the US one day? Let's not go overboard. I can't see myself buying a Jetta SW. It's just not...weird enough.

The last time I saw a Tribeca was outside of a popular bar here. Either drinking away the misery of owning one, or celebrating how awesome it is to own one.

Interesting concept on the Mid size SUV point. I always like the Touareg. Is that how you spell that? I don't know. Too many damn vowels. Though the T-Thing seemed like a colossal turd in reliability, it was well designed (IMO) and quasi luxurious.

Interesting. Thanks for your time. When Land Rover unveiled those special edition Defenders, I had all but made up my mind I would be relocating to the UK just to own one. But starting at 30,000 pounds...maybe not.
