or yeah, diesel manual.....50 mpg wagon? sweet.....

now THIS i would buy over a hatchback. An Eco manual wagon would be very nice......... especially if the 1.4 gets a little more power......

No..it's practical. I work in an office 18 miles from home. Going by bus or light rail would double my commute time and have several other inconvenient aspects. in your car, you don't have to sit next to loud and sweaty. you have your own audio. You have a place for your beverage, and if you need to swing out of the way on a whim and go pick up your meds at the pharmacy, you can do that. and you don't have to stop every 5 minutes and pick up a bunch of others. my favoritie scenario is this. my kid gets sick at 2 a.m. i need immediately to get them to urgent care or a pharmacy or both. It's freezing out and snowing and minus a bunch wind chill. I don't think i'll be taking my kid on a bus........partially because it won't be running at that time and place.

i sure wish i could have sexted pictures of my p3nis to a girl i was chasing, or been able to take pictures of naked conquests and send them around to friends when i was younger. you know, the important, meaningful, and culturally valuable things you can do with a cell phone. that, and play games. Zomg

didn't go far enough, inside or out. in fact, half assed is a good term for it. they butched the grille, but the rest of the vehicle is still soft and curvy. Where is the brash angularity of the Terrain? Inside it doesn't appear to have an improvement in design or quality. The radio and CC is different. It's like, a lot has changed but the net effect is not much. Why does it still look dated and cheap? Why does the Terrain interior look better, more interesting, and newer?

verano instead

jeers

love the Z car, not what i would buy, but i respect how interesting and capable it is.

word. even if you own your car outright, its about 300 a month to insure, fuel, park and drive. a 300-400 payment plus fuel maintenance and insurance can often be 600, 700, 800 a month. But if you want a job and need to get there, that's the price. If you can walk, all the power to you. If you want to visit the fam in Peoria 4 hours away, then there's your means. But if choose to take the bus instead, 200 a month to ride to work should not be an issue. chump change, in comparison. you can always stay home and have your very own prn site if you want an occupation that makes money but you don't want to leave your house.

saw one again the other day, they just look odd....... but hey, it's a honda.....

that's it right there. 'always get a ride'. at some point, the job you will need to take will not have transit, and all your other relatives and friends will be busy tending to their own responsibilities and will be worlds away.

this article is fishing for the public to tell them how to do it.....

this is a big problem for the auto industry.......... unless they want less revenue and fewer units sold......

http://www.insideline.com/features/do-kids-hate-cars.html a great summation about where it's at...... phones are more important than cars..... and cars are not connecting with the young set, and they are too expensive, and probably not fun enough......

nice review, and I like the angle. Nope, it's not a GTI....and it's your only chance to get a nicer real German Jetta. But VW can now sure sell the snot out of the whole Jetta line, even if they only sell 5% real Jettas.

a large glut of the last rangers were special edition trucks and had like 6500 on the hood.

they just keep trying don't they

good thing the crappy 2.5 is on its way out

VW prob would put the gestapo to that.

how bout Saab? Saab and Volvo should have figured out how to work together.....

seats have sort of a curved shaping to them, so they have some bolstering, but it's not that rigid linear shaping that the Japan cars have......

one of the most awesome wagons ever......clearly of wagon proportions, overhang longer than tall, clearly a wagon

Magnum to me was one of the most interesting evolutions of wagon design by the way, and that rear hatch and cargo area to me was one of the most useful and clever designs ever. Too bad the Magnum was a Chrysler....lol.....

if there was ever a poster child for such a discussion, the A3 is most definitely. i would say the A3 is like 52% hatch. if you look at a Focus or Astra wagon, there is so much more length behind the rear wheels than regular hatches. The A3 doesn't have too much overhang like the Focus or Astra, or Jetta wagon for that matter. What I think is even as entertaining for discussion are those sedans that are blending into hatches...some the BMW and Audis, or cars like the Mazda6 and Opel Insignia hatches...... Malibu Maxx suffered in the market I feel because there was some confusion on the wagon vs. hatch bit....... the rear rake was not fast enough for a hatch and the rear did not hang over enough with an upright enough rear to be a wagon. If chevy had kept the short wheelbase on the Maxx and sloped the back glass more, we may have had a hatchback.....or citation, part duex..... or maybe even a five door cutlass salon....

i think you'll like the Verano seats.....for some reason they remind me some of the Lucerne seats..... BTW, sat in the GS Regal yesterday.....those seats are awesome.....
