Social Security:

Almost $17 billion in inapproriate payments in 10 years.

Not a fan of the chrome mustache.

Having driven several of the cars you just listed for extended distances, you’re damn right I’d take the Prius. Sporty cars with stiff suspension and short wheelbases make for terrible highway driving.

This is no joke. A bunch of people were blinded by the Halifax Explosion in 1917 because they were watching the fire burn and the explosion threw glass into their face.

Damn, that looks way too big to be a gasoline explosion. Looks like a chemical plant or something.

My mom’s Mitsubishi Diamante had two little buttons on the spokes of the steering wheel for the horn. I can only imagine how useless those would be in an emergency.

My Hyundai has an auto-down function on the driver’s window, but you have to hold the switch to bring the window back up. Auto-up is included in the premium electronics package. WTF, Hyundai?

I’m not sure what universe you live in, but cars are definitely not smaller than they used to be. If anything, they’re bigger. Compare the interior dimensions of a 1995 Accord to a 2015 Accord.

I agree that this is a problem but I believe that the trunk openings are small out of necessity. A huge trunk lid on a unibody car results in poor rear-end collision test ratings.

I’d prefer the 3.7 V6 over the old 4.6 V8. The V6 gets you in the same ballpark of power with nearly half of the fuel consumption (and half the insurance payments).

I can’t speak for the Sonic, but I’ve driven other Chevy cars with that same turbo engine and it was an absolute dog.

I think the Elantra GT is the closest thing to an enthusiast car with an MSRP under $20k. You can get it with a 6-speed manual transmission, a 170hp engine, decently stiff suspension, and adjustable power steering. Plus, the base model comes with heated seats and satellite radio. It’s roughly equivalent to a VW Golf,…

Most GM interiors are terrible but my grandmother just bought a new fully-loaded Impala and the interior in that thing really is pretty impressive.

Buick and Oldsmobile used to make such beautiful cars. It’s crazy how far and how fast they fell.

I had a 1994 Ranger in almost the exact same color as that Cobra, and it was glorious. Teal cars need to make a comeback.

I’d be a lot more interested in Volvo’s offering if they didn’t cost $Texas. When did Volvo decide to start pricing their cars like a premium luxury brand?

There is literally nothing true about your comment in the majority of states. I guess that’s fitting, considering the topic of this article.

Stupid comment system messed me up.

I wasn’t commenting on the article. I was responding to another comment. Where did you learn to read?
