IBM NetVista when I was 10 back in 01. Gift from my dad (hand me down).

Which of their cars are a LOT cheap? Passat is not cheap or better, its just on par with the other vehicles in its class.

And all the other ladies owning a RR will get you.

Huh. thank god I live 12 miles from DC but the minute I get onto the beltway (or any road) around, that feeling is replaced with disgust.

They usually stick 3 kids in the back with 4 captain chairs for the 7 seater. 8 seaters will usually have both rear rows with bench.

Well diesel jetta is about 24K and hybrid is about 28K. So combining the tech + a 3 row crossover with few decent features (climate zones, roof or 3rd row vents etc) will drive the bare bones options to at least 40K at which point you can get a loaded Explorer with nearly good mileage or a more offroadable GC.

I have a Darcars dodge-chrysler-Jeep 2 miles from me. I just took a walk around since I am currently waiting for my mom's lexus serviced (BTW front brake pads replaced + resurfacing rotors -$400! oil and rotation is extra. If only I wasn't so busy with work). I counted 3 GCs, 4 300s and too many challengers.

Obviously the Viper? Everything else, you can practically pick up from a dealer any day of the week (maybe except the GC, but it is cheaper than an S550).

I would have been more happy if they had turned that filler panel/ washer below the headlamps into a second turn indicator. It would have looked better.

I have been waiting for 3 years for the diesel GC. But now I feel like I can wait another year for the prophesied Grand Wagoneer (I find myself renting a larger vehicle more often now).

Or where is my diesel burning Grand Wagoneer?

I would say the VW CrossBlue looks like this one. This is just a minor design update (more leds and redesigned lamps) of an existing vehicle. This now offers a diesel power train and a new 8 speed transmission but no 3rd row :(

I wanna see how this compares to the diesel GC (in terms of price). I would prefer a GC for the offroad capability. But this offers a third row (I keep renting a larger vehicle more and more often now when family visits) and better mileage.

I think this definitely makes the list. Good luck driving it anywhere except an empty freeway.

Also, now where to stash the big bucks.

I have supported three and all of them were basically money down the drain because they took so long to ship (kind of expected) so by the time I got them, I didn't need them anymore.

Very informative. I knew hydrogen is difficult to make, store and transport. But I only considered its clean burning.

There is still an appreciable gain - a car consumes fuel even when its not moving. We see hundreds of vehicles waiting at signals and parking lots etc (start stop tech can also help but not as common).

Totally right about ater powered cars, but hydrogen powered cars aren't a myth especially if we can discover an efficient method to generate hydrogen (not efficient exactly but an alternative energy source that can be used to generate hydrogen in large scale).

Hybrid cars usually have smaller engines than regular ones and batteries are recycled so its impact on emissions and pollution is definitely lower (especially over time).
