If they had to get a 6 year loan on a Kia Optima and pay it out to the last month of the loan, they might want to reconsider such a class jump for their next car.

Here is my one related gripe. People who stick their bag in the first available overhead space, then walk way back to their seat.

At least they didn’t go full Toyota/Lexus on the grill.

In other words, it meets all of Chevrolet’s current high standards for interior design and quality.

Well what am I going to pick at the airport rental lot when there are no Mazda 6 left? The Altima is a solid choice. Can’t say I’d own one like I might if there was a Mazda 6 Speed, but the Altima is way better than the Malibus crowding the rental lots. Oh wait, there’s still the Sonata in 3rd place.

Mitsubishi sobs in corner. “But that is my market.” {sniffle}

Take the Frontier. It has stayed the same for a decade. Now imagine if they had just restyled the bumpers, switched it to a CVT, made the plastics even cheaper somehow, and found ways to cost cut absolutely everything about it. That is what has happened to every other model. None of them got better - they just…

Let’s put the “easy to swap out” part on the side for now. Making it cheap and selling it cheap are two different things. Auto makers have the ‘making it cheap’ down, but they still don’t make it cheap to purchase.

Decades ago I was out shore fishing on a lake way out in the country. An F-4 Phantom did the same thing. Practically got whiplash when my head snapped up to look. The image is burned in my mind, but it is a good burn. It was practicing very low level intercept on a A-6. So low that the tops of the trees moved.

From this and other articles, if seems the lady’s repair did qualify for warranty, but the dealership, for whatever reason, said the repair wasn’t covered under warranty. Going back after the warranty period to get the repair done is difficult, but if the issue was recorded in her service history, it is possible to…

Is it me or do a lot of these class-action lawsuits seem to be summed up as, “My doohicky failed AFTER my warranty expired, but I want Motor Company to fix it because they knew it was going to fail at some point AFTER the warranty expired.”

Well maybe it will force them to stop watering their lawns, filling up their swimming pools and washing their cars on a weekly basis, following your analogy. In other words, they need to change their wasteful behaviors. In the past few decades they’ve not made the kind of changes that bring them closer to the goals…

Had a female friend in college that got a brand new Sunfire as a Freshman. Dead by Senior year. It was sad. I did all I could, but it was a soul crushing loss (of my pride).

20" low profiles. That’s like wearing Converse All Stars on a hike. I didn’t see any specs on how many spare tires it carries, but I think that’s important to know if planning anything other than “dirt” roads.

After literal hours of prodding, she finally admitted that it was just the badge that she cared about

Different times and different circumstance. This reference to the beginning of gas stations isn’t even a gas station that was used primarily for cars. They were for heating and lighting. 

Exact opposite. I was like that can’t be a woman until I read the article and then confirmed my take was spot on. Yeah, I got gaydar with all the pricy mods.

Can’t say I use them myself, but my father still clings to his Garmin. His reasons....

I’m going to reserve judgement until I actually see what the Mustang platform Mach-E turns out to be. Just because it is built on a Mustang platform, doesn’t mean it will be a Mustang. Platforms are shared by many diff models these days.

Very good point curbwatching. There are demographics Cadillac wants, but then there are demographics Cadillac needs. Right now Cadillac can’t afford to ignore any customer.
