  1. The whole Tesla thing will implode and Musk will look like a fool.
  2. Strong like rotten fish are strong. Very sadly, you would be correct.
  3. This is entirely fair. Decent cars...just not my thing. There... simple and done.
  4. Since Dfelt posted up one funky old design...
  5. That was pure sarcasm....yes, they have improved over the years...no, they as a brand don't do a darned thing for me. .
  6. Philosophically, this destroys the notion of forward progress as a linear idea. One does not see actual improvement from 1962 to 2010. If any thing, de-evolution and entropy are present. Like the girls passed around under the bleachers back in the day at your old high school, or the sandwich you forgot in the back of the fridge...some things alas do not get better with time.
  7. A little alternate propulsion love to pull us back on track...
  8. Clock is absolutely clicking on Tesla, they are the dead man walking of the auto industry. As to Fiat having been around since 1899, herpes has been around much longer so your argument is non unique. There is no direct length to lifespan or size of business and quality of product. By your logic I should eat the crap food at Appleby's because they have a ton of restaurants... That being said, I do like the 500 Abarth a little bit, and the 124 Spyder. Sadly, if I wanted a grenade I would by a grenade, not an automobile. A secret bunch of gnomes in the Black Forrest...apparently the same people who also built the first Air Cooled VW's. It's why you have this Corviar fetish you try to keep hidden with the monsters under the bed. if only everything could be as cool as an air cooled Kombi...we would be in bidness..
  9. Good sarcasm is lost on the proletariat, apparently. In all honesty I think the reason that I have so much trouble with the Soul is that I had an original xB and loved it and the Soul reminds me of that car....and the fact that that car is no longer in my driveway. It is a fine automobile...but it really rubs me the wrong way for some un-known reason. I like to think of myself as a rational person...but I am far from rational at times. Especially with regard to cars. 27k would buy me a GTI and 34K would start getting me into R territory in the Golf lineup. Alternately, WRX or STI. But I am really beginning to think I have zero imagination in terms of modern cars. Kia is also kind of like Ford to me in that they are probably a fine product, but I have known enough people who have had serious issues with them that I do not really trust them. In response to Olds/Drew...and yes, Nissan is doing better with Rouge CVT tuning. we ahd one as a rental recently and i would rate it as acceptable. But I would agree the 9 speed is better.
  10. Really dated product.....what comes in its place will probably be little better...
  11. Actually not sure, probably cost cutting on base model. I actually really like how Jeep lets you personalize a vehicle with real choice in terms of color and options. Not feeling like you are in an alternate reality where Micky, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto should be in the car with you is easily worth 7 grand.
  12. Yes, but I prefer the original xB, having owned one.
  13. I didn't even know we were still doing subscription membership. Whatever you want to do to keep the site afloat is fine by me.
  14. The absolute effing voice of reason speaking here. As an atheist and a metaphysical naturalist of course I don't. As a fat middle aged guy who doesn't want drive around with a paper bag on my head I also do not own a Korean import popularized by rodents either.
  15. Soul is a neat little vehicle that I personally feel no affection for.
  16. I think especially in urban areas this makes infinite sense.
  17. https://www.10tv.com/article/police-identify-man-woman-killed-southeast-columbus-shooting
  18. I have to ahve some fun...my daughter knew a girl named Jojo Holloway...who was shot to death Yesterday here in Columbus...Jojo was seventeen... Kind of really sad otherwise... http://nbc4i.com/2017/10/24/suspect-in-custody-after-three-people-shot-in-southeast-columbus/
  19. One can only think that the damn on internal combustion is starting to break. the rantings and ravings of the ICE crowd will become much more amusing to watch as this progresses.
