“tiny penis compensation vehicle”

An EV people claim is bad but is actually good is the Mini Cooper EV. People complain about the 110mi range yet the average american drives 50 miles a day and almost no one road trips in a mini cooper. they weigh around 3000lbs, do 0-60 in a respectable 6 seconds, and cost $30k. The reality is that most homes have one…

These are likely some of the best.  Get climate change deniers out of their massive inefficient cars and unsuspectingly into cars that are much much better for the environment

The only reason I’m angry is that I wanted to be the one to say it. Honestly, any Tesla though. Their predatory sales model might actually be worse than the Stealership model, the fanbase is rabid, and the build qualities of all of them are dubious. I renounce Elon as our Lord and Savior.

An awfully big fraction of owners don’t buy vehicles as “rational decisions,” or we wouldn’t have commercials full of cowboys, and firemen, and flags, and “professional drivers on closed course” drifting across empty parking lots.

Ford misused “Sport” all the time. Not a hatch, but I had a Crown Victoria LX Sport. Exactly the same mechanicals as the other CVs with maybe some minor tweaks. It looked great, though, and was loaded to the teeth.

I have seen this car! Keep the negative comments coming so I can steal this one!

Gary would have been much better off if his comment had been that he was nuke bidding, rather than something that most would take as goading to bid against him.

“Yup, we got the dopey 2.3 turbo that was ancient. Euro got the sweet Cologne V6.”

The North American Ford Escort LX Sport of the mid 1990s:

The regular ST was also sold in that last model year and was the same little go kart of death it had always been. This nomenclature is pretty common, to offer an ST and an ST-Line or in Hyundai’s case the full N package and the N-Line which is just a trim package without the performance bits.

That wasn’t an ST though, nor a hot hatch. They literally just had a bunch of spare ST parts they needed to get rid of, and that’s all the ST-line cars were.

That V6 was a good sounding if not slightly flatulant engine with a bit of decent performance. Relative to the times it had ok performance. Inside and the car in general was a POS with some nasty braking habits.

In the last year of the Fiesta in the US they presented the ST-Line trim.

I think people in colder climates can appreciate them, especially in older cars when the convertible tops and heating systems weren’t as robust. I could see the appeal of having one and leaving it on all winter (if you’re convertible isn’t a summer only car) except for the fact your top is folded up for half the year.

Honestly, in today’s market, this might be a raging NP for all I know. Every time I even look at a used car price, I’m like

Focus RS comes to mind.

Funny thing is the demise of this car will not be by consumers but by Toyota dealerships. With shortages this thing will be a six figure car at some dealerships pushing the envelope and normal dealers asking $10k over sticker. Every cool car made in the last 6-7 years has had some sort of dealer markup with it being…

It could definitely get a lot more people to buy EVs just based on the aspirational value.  I could see GM doing smaller versions like it did with the H3 to build out the brand.
