God no! They did enough damage to their reputation the first time around. Even if they didn’t do a modern example of that horrendous vehicle, just the image of a K-car will regurgitate bad memories.

I know diesel turbo engines can last when used in demanding roles, but I’m not sure about how healthy all these new 4 and 6 cyl gas turbos will be at 150K miles having done even moderate heavy hauling.
Having driven a few Equinox over the past decade, I weep. Read more
So is there going to be a vehicle called the Honda Chevy? Read more
Mutation could really blow herd immunity to hell. It is happening, but only on a smaller scale right now. Read more
I don’t think you can vote COVID-19 away. You will only be trading one form of COVID Normal for another COVID Normal. Each one has it’s serious downsides. Pick your poison.
Emptying the jails and writing tickets for felony crimes has nothing to do with increased criminal behavior. Those “alleged” criminals are so grateful for their freedom, they are turning their lives around and not committing any more crimes. /s Read more
I waited 2 years for the Mazda 6 Skyactiv-D to arrive. Well, needless to say I don’t own one today. Other than that car, the only other one that I waited on was the Acura TSX (Honda Accord in most of the world). It did arrive after 7 months of waiting. I still believe that the TSX was worth waiting for and that the… Read more
Is there not enough aftermarket support to have retrofit kits or is there simply too many different designs to make kits profitable?
If they had just taken the specs (300 hp electric/hybrid) and put it in an, oh I don’t know, exciting, if maybe only more performance aimed platform. Read more
Great posting. I love the hauntingly quiet type of imagery. Thanks for the lead on Connor Sheehan.
Customer service has been my sticking point. My problem is that out of the 3 banks I wanted to put money into, the whole process just went off the track with 2 of them and the 3rd was a struggle. These were all online-only banks. Read more
I had a girlfriend in college that was Japanese. She said that even if we got married, she’d keep her citizenship. She was told that if she became a US citizen, Japan would revoke her Japanese citizenship. Since her family was going to remain in Japan, and she wanted unfettered access into the country, she would just g… Read more
Doesn’t matter. They say everyone benefited from slavery whether in the North, South or West. Time to settle the debts.
If I understood the news reporting, the top running location in Texas is in a severely economically depressed part of a Liberal metro area in a Liberal county. The local politicians are saying that the current social programs are not enough and that they need some form of employment to help the people. With a heavy… Read more
It is especially satisfying to see them on the side of the road with a blown tire because they were overloaded with their offroad or low profile tires.
I think it started about 1971 or 1972, at least for the auto industry.
Even I’d lease an electric car for my around town driving if it only cost 10 Euros a month. I’d still keep my regular car for the fun of modifying and for city to city trips. Read more
Base model is fine. I plan on installing low profile off road tires with a tread pattern like a brick road. I’ll probably get one of those huge steel bumpers with lights, wench, jack and tow hooks used to pull semis out of ditches. On the back I’ll get a rear bumper that I can place outdoor speakers on next to a spare… Read more
I third that sentiment. Last of the real car guys that actually work on cars and write mostly about cars (even if the articles have the word “Jeep” in them A LOT).
