Not ones that melt themselves... And I’m pretty sure that’s a mass generalization

And unlike the BMW, it won’t immediately break out of warranty and prolly doesn’t have plastic parts on the timing chain guides...

One was also an Isuzu... The Storm was a rebadged Impulse

But dealers have our best interests in mind and it’s why we must be protected from direct sales from devious, foul companies such as Tesla...

I believe the Ion got one of the funniest worst reviews from C&D when they came out... And before C&D forgot how to write...

Can I just choose the Renault Avantime you posted as the picture?

Obviously not something the Russians share when they built Адмирал Дымчатый 

Poor F150 was a hapless victim...I should go hug mine so it knows everything’s ok...

I don’t think MINI’s sales have flagged due to cheap gas...IMO it’s due to quality issues and reliability as with the rest of BMW’s lineup. I’ve owned 3 MINIs: R50, R53 and R60. The early cars were extremely overbuilt, robust, and very solid.

Yeah, I realized that after seeing a random FX here in town. But the VQ is still a POS...I’m pretty sure there was a Rogue-based Infiniti “SUV” though and can’t find it. Was pretty tiny

Last time I checked, the EX35 is actually Nissan Rogue based... Also, VQ35 is easily the worst engine Nissan had ever made with terrible long term reliability due to its plastic timing chain tensioner and several other poor quality internals... Read about it.

I’d be happier if you typed SAAB correctly as it is an acronym... Not unlike FIAT and ALFA...

Ballaban, you’re wrong on this one dude. I’m impressed this car exists in this state as most were ground into dust. One of the few Malaise Era GMs that was pretty durable.

Well, Mercedes definitely has actual build quality over BMW and something else BMW lacks: engines that don’t grenade themselves due to internal parts being made of metal, not plastic (giving stick eye to BMW)

One activates Dodge Bros mode which enables drunkenness, high speed driving around Detroit in c. 1920s automobiles, and enabling “beat the shit out of someone till almost dead” mode.

Good thing I bought the SWB F150 SuperCrew...not that I’m taking a $54K truck wheeling any time soon

The Aero X was in the works long before the Spyker fiasco. The designer, Anthony Lo, even won an award or two for the Aero

Why did you have to ruin my day with a

So, I guess since it’s a BMW, it’ll break down in about 5 years and end up in the belly of a Jawa sandcrawler?

Torch, I think I’m far more interested in the Hillman/Sunbeam Imp pictured and it’s fantastic/legendary/all awesome Coventry Climax engine!
