Buy hey, plush velour bench seat!

I imagine this would be like driving in Forza with all the asists in. It is infuriatingly difficult to mess up.

Wait, you heavily implied you were British! This changes everything. What state? I’m Georgian. We may have more in common than I thought in our eccentric dialect.

I’m not sure how to tell you how off you are but I seriously doubt anyone you know knows much better; have fun, I guess (as long as I don’t meet one of them and they then think my accent is phony).

I would very much like to hear your “American Country English” as someone from the southern US (urban, mind you) whose dialect no one can figure out.

Hmm. . .

Uh. . .

Maybe PSA-FCA will bring a future generation of the TourX back to the states under a diffferent name. . .

How do you prefer that an aspiring free lancer contact Jalopnik about a unique story?

I don’t even think a free Versa could garner a good review of a Versa.

C'mon! Good old Bibendum really brightens up the car.

But the Jimny’s small size allows it to navigate narrower trails than the Wrangler at a lower price. 

I am in agreance (you forgot this)

Imagine how quaint our ”uncongested”and “analogue” cars today will feel in 50 years. These are the good old days where we have reliable cars we can drive ourselves anywhere and plenty of gasoline infrastructure.

Charm in cars comes from idiosyncracies and plenty of modern cars have them. My Cruze appears pretty generic but the unique without being annoying central locking adds a bit of interest. Old cars just have them to a much greater degree because they were not run through hordes of committees to dilute anything unique.

The solution is to make a bare bones car that costs slightly more than you would expect. My friend’s absolute base model 2014 Jeep Patriot literally only has one feature: A/C. It doesn’t even have power locks (5 spd too) yet it retailed for far more than a contemporary Versa without being meaningfully better (except…

I think the VW UP! really fills that role in other markets. In America such a vehicle is notably absent. There are cheap cars that are pretty terrible (Versa) but not cheap cars that are both good and have character.

I don't think the Crosstour was so so bad, but the Cygnet was truly wrong in every sense of the word.
