July 2014: Chrysler Group LLC
A Horse With No Name replied to William Maley's topic in 2014 Sales Archive
I wound up needing to rent a car the other day. Woman in line next to me was bringing back a Fiat 500. She Raked the clerk over the coals and told him that she wouldn't take a 500 as a gift. Went on and on about how the power windows quit working and had a list of other issues with the car. Thought of you, Dfelt....could picture you standing next to me laughing! -
Some real truth here, but they are still biases. Subaru is the new Consumer reports messiah, and while they are great cars they are over rated by CR. An uncomfortable number of issues being found with subie motors as of late, some really bad paint quality on some of their cars, the CVT tuning is less than optimal... You get the picture.

Public perception has changed also. American cars are orders of magnitude better than they were even 5 years ago, while most Asian cars have remained stagnent or gotten worse. If anything cars like the Civic have possibly gotten a little worse.

And still fantastic. The styling vibe on it with its bulldog Stace and wheels pushed towards the corners reminds me of my MINI. My local Buick dealer may be getting my Miata in trade on one. I like the Encore much better than the Focus ST I test drove last year.

As the proud owner of not one but two cats, I am offended at the libel directed towards the business end of a cat. Since Drew owns the site and also has a cat, can we please have some sort of disciplinary action due to the feline slander in the above post? All joking aside, they are doing there best to build the dullest car on the planet. Except that I still find their products preferable to Nissan, Toyota, some models of Hyundai, and cars like the previous gen 200, Avenger, etc. But when the Accord Sport is only available in an ugly grey and a drab shade of silver...you kind of wonder how the designers parents had the libedo to procreate.- 7 replies

Absolutely. Perhaps the greatest driver ever. Shame he passed before his time. -
I cannot figure it out either. However....since I want my next vehicle to be new...this is making it very easy to rationalize a new car price to my wife.
