Spying: Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, Now With Added Intakes

That's an AI image...looks like a mix of a Plymouth Duster and a Chevy Nova. 

Good morning This is what I really wanted to share. That's what Californians do ... share. Maybe not museum grade, but it works well. I don't know if that's a Ford, an AMC, or an old Buick Skylark!

Maybe I didn't use the right words.  It's overly supple and overly assisted in parking lots and when driving slowly on smaller streets.  It does not communicate much when there are lots of thick walls next to small roads and farms right beside me! After renting it, I read a review and it said that it doesn't corner or track very well, and that started getting annoying last night.   I drove a Citroen C3 here somewhere between 2019 and 2021. I believe I reviewed it.  First, I couldn't believe how smooth it was. It handled well in parking lots and was surprisingly smooth and agile on the highway, too.  It's not like you get two times the smoothness because the car costs two times as much. I have a friend who went for civil engineering at ASU.  He said that they used the same textbooks, for the most part, that they did at Berkeley.  So, with Berkeley being so much more prestigious, and with a much lower acceptance rate, it's not like you get two times a better civil engineering education there.  So my point is that for twice the money, the increase in drivability is not a ratable or linear relationship. I've come to see that the extra money in this BYD is all about the many bells and whistles that take about a week to learn. It's not that impressive on the highway and on rougher roads. I sort of like it on nicely asphalted urban streets at lower speeds and it has been getting respectable fuel mileage. I liked zooming around in that Citroen C3 with the side "Air Bump."  I had asked them for a smaller car instead and they told me that if it had to be automatic, it had to be this one.

The part that is now bolded, Italicized and underlined, I am totally confused by. How can it be velvety and yet not as smooth as a C3? I get the disconnected road to cabin and no steering wheel communication at low speeds as it is a hybrid system so not a true drive by wire but also not a true traditional steering wheel system. Hydraulic with electric assist so that is a downside being very vague road feedback via the steering wheel.

The "cute" little Nissan Versa fit that bill, surprising me via rentals that it was actually likeable, but production of it ended a few months ago. I was given this bloated BYD Seal SUV automatic last week and that's what I'm driving around Sicily in.  It's a HEV, so I don't push down too hard, and it sips fuel.  Except for its velvety and disconnected road to cabin and steering wheel communication at low speeds, I'm not so sure I like it.  Give me a smaller Citroen C3 with an automatic which is smaller and rides smoothly.
