Have to agree with DF that this is the best looking Mini-Van in the segment. They have a very pleasing external body design with plenty of positives inside. Honda and Toyota need to dial back the weird external body design of their vans and Chrysler needs to step up the quality factor as the Town & Country Mini-Van I saw over the weekend looked very cheap inside and plasticky. This I foresee making conquest sales from the established 3 that are out there.

FT-86 sits too low for us tall guys to get into comfortably, cabin too small and gutless. Not sure how DF defines it feels fast at any speed, but that car is a slug.

Very cool, I love the new frame and the capabilities. Makes you wonder how soon before they bring this technology to other lines that can use a lighter stiffer frame for a better handling auto. I wonder if this means they could use the frame to make a 4 door Convertible that does not weight 3-4 tons?

I didn't see that report.. Interesting though. Here was one of the stories that USA Today covered about this. Delphi told investigators that the switches were not up to spec. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/03/30/gm-ignition-switches-recall-congressional-report/7085919/ Here is another story covering it in the Detroit Free Press http://www.freep.com/article/20140330/BUSINESS0101/303300138/GM-ignition-recall Pretty clear Delphi did not build the right part to begin with, but then OLD GM MGMT accepted it anyway. Not sure why but they did.

That is actually funny that they would even consider calling it BIG! I have worked on a college campus for the last year or so (Capital unviersity). I count three manuals on a campus with 3000 students....a Fit, a 2002 Miata similar to mine, and a Dodge Dart. Interestingly, the Dart and Fit are driven by females. Fiat needs to do something, theya re selling Fiats with major cash on the hood.... So you are saying that having performance with an auto transmission is a good thing.

G. David Felt Alternative Fuels & Propulsion writer www.CheersandGears.com In the news of the last 48hrs has been the story about the large hole in SSL or what is known as Secure Socket Layer. I don’t usually talk about network security around here, but this vulnerability almost certainly affects you. Whenever you buy anything online, most often, that transaction is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). If you’re on a site such as Amazon, then you go to the shopping cart or checkout, at the top of the URL you’ll see http:// change to https://. That is generally an indicator that SSL encryption is protecting your credit card data. Turns out there has been a massive hole in a specific implementation of SSL. On some sites, all your “encrypted private data” has been clear and open for attackers to see. If you don’t want your identity hijacked, and ESPECIALLY if you have credit card data on these sites, you should change your password TODAY on Facebook, Twitter, and with Apple (e.g, iTunes). I happen to have a GoDaddy domain, so I need to change my password with GoDaddy, too. If you have a TurboTax or Dropbox password, those should be changed, too. For a list of major vendors who have been vulnerable AND have installed the fix, see: http://mashable.com/2014/04/09/heartbleed-bug-websites-affected/ Because SSL is so foundational to e-commerce sites, some vulnerable sites need time in order to install the fix. That means if you change your password to fool attackers on a site that has not yet installed the fix, you’re just giving the attackers your new passwords. If a site where you have an account sends you an email about the Heartbleed bug, take note! Meanwhile, be more diligent than usual about watching your e-shopping transactions! Full Details about the Heartbleed bug can be read here: http://heartbleed.com/

Which morons? You mean the ones who knew about the problem 10 years ago but decided that a $0.57 fix was cost prohibitive? I'm sure recalling millions of vehicles, fines,and bad press make it TOTALLY WORTH IT. They can start by pulling in the executives from that time and grilling them, confiscating their ill gotten gains and holding them accountable for making the right decision than to roast a woman who clearly cares more about quality and the customer than the idiots that made these decisions did back then.

Based on quality of china products, I figure it would kill you within the first 12 months from toxic fumes from the toxin's they mix in with their plastic to get rid of it. Breath and die the Chinese way. Because Made in the USA is so much better! LOL! I would rather die supporting an american company than send my hard earned dollars overseas. You should buy a first gen Equinox then. Nothing more `Merican than the hum of that Chinese built V6. Nope, I'm a V8 man and that is all I drive. American V8 on CNG!
