You just made it a Kia. LOL

Undoubtedly there would be NTSHB classification and thus insurance cost ramifications for a pure two-seater, but yeah, I agree. I’d rather have some grocery/dog/whatever space than vestigial “seats”.

My dog that just looks gorgeous. 

I was at my local Mazda dealer last night, dropping off my wife’s vehicle for service, and asked about this extended range MX-30. If the service tech is to be believed, this is NOT coming to the US market. :(

Regarding Elon’s pay, I saw this pithy quote recently: “If someone can be CEO of 3+ companies at once, my conclusion is that CEOs don’t do much.”

When an G42 M2 raw-dogs a Dodge Caliber SRT after a wild wedding reception in Bakersfield...

That’s a bit of a silly location for an *ignition* kill switch. Wouldn’t you want to obscure it?
My guess is rear-taillamp/license plate light kill switch. Handy when doing sneaky stuff. 

IIRC only the Matrix had the 6sp manual option though not available with the AWD system.

Or reliable brakes...

I wish Ford had brought back that dogbone styling motif before Kia did.

It’s basically the same story with Porsche/Audi next door to Honda, and Toyota/Benz/Sprinter at the other end of the street. Though Toyota seems to have a sizeable stock of trade-ins, what with all the Sprinter fanatics out there. ;)

THAT is awesome. What’s it from? I love the analog boost gauge.

For months, my local Honda dealer (Bellingham, WA) has had an embarrassingly small number of new vehicles on its lot. Sometimes about 10. It’s so odd. They keep rearranging them as if that’s going to make them multiply, or bring in customers. 

There is a lot of (downmarket VW) Atlas in both of those, don’t forget.

Bring back mid-engine rear-drive/awd vans! -Previa fanboi

Yeah, it’s funny that basically every offering is leaving the market. (Tumbleweed blows across empty dealer lots.)

Fellow PNW resident. Peace Vans looks to be doing a nice conversion, but it seems to be an uphill battle. For starters, the van only has two opening windows - in the front doors. Rear passengers don’t get any fresh air. And the van only has one drivetrain configuration. No diesel, no hybrid, no AWD. That’s really…

Scraped/scrapped. Tomato/tomahto.

Local Ford dealer has a $59K decal on the windshield of an Explorer. I did a triple take and nearly blew through a red light. WTH.
