People buy an S-class to say how they are wealthier and better than Lexus, Audi or BMW drivers. But they need an S-class Maybach for people who believe they are better than other S-class drivers, and an S-class Pullman for the people that believe they are better than the guy with the Maybach.
In summary, snobs buy S-class.

A GM like move. Seems like GM put some of its people in Subaru who are still there after stakes were divested.

A 95% product. Not bad, but not ground breaking.

Not bad. I like the simple interior, but the beige color with black swath of dashboard and light colored wood(?) is just awful.

I agree with everyone one with the RWD Toyota platform. Toyota (Subaru) almost perfected it.
However, as much as BRZ is a fun and fantastic car, after spending a quality time test driving it, to almost purchase, I am a little underwhelmed.
Why? The engine. No it does not need high horsepower, but it is not a fun companion. The motor shows its deficiencies while trying to have fun and my limits of fun are nearly not as high as Randy Pobst's or Ron Fellows'. The high strung motor just begs for more torque. It is weaker than the 2.4 in my TSX. It gasps when pushing too hard and unwilling.
The execution of the powertrain gets 6/10 points. I would say a 250 hp motor with 250 lb-ft torque would be a good companion for that 2,800 lb car.

Well name one good minivan GM built.
That's like trying to find a positive about being kicked in the crotch with cleats.
Makes tranny operation easier?

Dumpy looking thing now.

I think they should do a lower priced version of the Corvette. Maybe a bit of a decontented interior and V6 or smaller V8. The Corvette's version of a Range Rover Evoqe.
Would you say the same for 911 or S Class?

Single digit tire pressure that is amazing. I hardly see any technology that got transferred in modern pickups.
Like the latest snap-on tractor from John Deere, this thing would have a tremendous potential in modern day. Too bad innovation doesn't exist in modern automobile manufacturers.

I hope your new year does not bring you a new vehicle.

I was going to say, I don't think the regular cab HD models are in production yet
They actually are. There are a few at a local dealer here.

HOW CAN YOU BE SURE THO, HOMES?
When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth.

I hope it is a late April Fool's Joke.

Hullo Hyundai Elantra.

Yes, Cruze Eco manual is really the deal killer for the Cruze diesel. People are getting 44-45 mpg quite often.
The average fuel economy for the Eco and Diesel are 35 and 36.5 mpg, respectively. That 1.5 mpg delta with a ~$0.60 price differential in fuel prices is really hard to overcome. And we are not even taking into consideration the price differential between the two models.
As much as I love diesels, if I were in market for Cruze I would buy an ECO.
Cruze Diesel really needs a manual transmission. Another blunder from GM.

Actually Gita succinctly explains for spirituality and science, atheism, anostism, and monotheism and multitheism. But it is not the way this person is describing what it stands for. There was a reason why Einstein read the book for inspiration.
-
Never there was a moment when I was not. Tell me which verse and which Chapter.
And if you really read Gita then you contradicted what you said in your text above.

Goodyear Assurance are actually good tires.

I'm in need of new tires as well on the TSX.. I have been using summer tires but my commute is longer now. I'm leaning towards Continental PureContacts.
For those I would consider Bridgestones (I can't remember the name on top of my head). My wife's TSX has had them since our life in Michigan and she has put close to 65,000 on them and are still over their tread wear.

Mind is a very powerful starter.
