“make getting into the correct gear such a nightmare!”

But let’s not forget that the panda actually won that fight. Skadoosh! 

I think you’re confusing supply and demand with a manufacturer’s intent to only build a limited number of an item. Stating that it’s “10%” of the mix doesn’t imply they won’t build more if the demand is there.

Just watch Batman v. Superman.  I almost turned the movie off when the billionaire batman was trying to drive one of these crapboxes in an aggressive manner.  

I always thought of this as the “city” Jeep. Something compact enough to to parallel park in Chicago, or that can be backed into a shoebox called a garage in Newark. The price point and marketing around it also gave me the impression that they were aiming it at debt-strapped millennials. I think it checks a lot of…

a panda?

Whatever is in the Panda, because it’s a Panda.

76-84, isn’t that around the time after culturally we all shifted from hallucinogens to cocaine?
These all seem like “cocaine” bad design decisions, not “acid” ones.. But that window is solving a question we can’t even find.

Lol a 7.99% interest rate would be a godsend to these people. Try at least double that. 

How do I know, well I work for a manufacturer, and the manufacturer here replied to the author specifically stating as much.  But thanks for playing.

That is not what limited production means. Limited production means there is a set number decided on prior to starting production, and no production beyond that. It is generally assumed that the set number will be below the demand, but it is not specifically a requirement.

dealerships are the reason automakers have no real feel of what the customer wants.  

The Veloster N saw something similar... at first. Now you can get them well under MSRP. 

Lol, demand isn’t more than 10% build mix. Your point is moot, this is not limited production per the manufacturer.  If demand increases, they will simply build more.  The dealer trying to profiteer off consumer ignorance isn’t a novel concept, its just a shitty one.

I’m not surprised. Hyundai pulled this bullshit with the Elantra GT N Line. They’d only send dealers one and jack the price up. Shockingly (to Hyundai, probably), it didn’t do well and they killed it here.

Thomas Middleditch is what you’d get if you asked someone to draw a caricature of a white man running a pick-up artist seminar at a gaming convention.

Unless it has a numbered plaque from the factory, it’s not limited production.

He looks like a poorly shaved garden gnome with a pituitary gland disorder.

He looks like he’s both a sailor and a ballet dancer and terrible at both
