Sometimes 3, if you count liftbacks.

Coupes have two doors, thank you 

I hate to break it to you, but the Regal TourX is actually a five door coupe.

Reporting for duty

This isn’t a long-ride bike, so the range is fine.  It is a drag bike.

While I agree with your first point, I think Harley is also trying to attract other kinds of buyers. New blood generally brings new money, something that Harley needs. 

All this probably to shave a tenth of a second off the 0-60 time of the doubtlessly-coming Expedition ST. That or tow a 100 more pounds with an F-150.

GM earned one of the best back handed compliments I’ve ever heard: “they’ll run like shit longer than most cars will run at all”.

My wife has a 545i. Manual, RWD. That’s why we bought it. It had 120K miles on it, is up to 165K now.

That’s been my experience with GM vehicles.  They'll keep developing quirks, but they'll also keep running.  To the point that you're hoping for it to finally die so you have an excuse to buy something less quirky.

Good luck finding a Mazda3 that has ever seen snow and isn’t a rust bucket.

(The one time Kinja puts an image up maximum size, sorry for the nightmares, folks. Tom Cruise isn’t really under your bed.)

That's sort of the whole concept of concept cars.

My Grandfather (born 1931) always tells me how wonderful the Packard straight 8 was. He would joke(?) that at idle you could stand a nickle on its end atop the valve cover and it wouldnt fall over. Not sure if its true but he never fails to tell me that every time he asks about my car projects.

Honda sold nothing smaller than the Civic in the US in 1993, either so it isn’t like that’s changed. Not to mention that things smaller than the Fit sell like a bag of flaming dogshit nationally here - especially when gas is cheap - just look at Smart car and Scion IQ sales.

A Fit Si would be awesome.

The only problem is that there are often no smaller cars slotted in below the ever-growing ones. Or if there are, they’re base economical ones like the Honda Fit. There’s no Fit Si to replace the old Civic Si now that the new Civic is the size of the old Accord. 

The correct answer: Suzuki Samurai 

Liked it? They loved it. Yuri especially, despite the crap infotainment. I was quite surprised.
