    Europe is also a very different market in places because they have excellent public transit and old cities with really tight access. Were I to live in Italy in a city with streets dating to 1412, I would drive a car the size of a Fiat 500. Were I to live in Wyoming, a Suburban would work fine, although a pickup would do better. Living in a city like Columbus, Ohio or Pittsburgh, PA a GTI or an Encore is about right. YMMV
  2. A Horse With No Name
    Agreed.

    Jetta with the GLI package can be really fun. Leaf is actually fun to drive because you have full torque from stop. Tahoe is fantastic to run a bunch of friends to a hockey game and out to dinner or the like. It's not exactly what I would choose for a track day toy, but as a tow vehicle it would be unbeatable, methinks. Plenty of room in the back for tools or camping gear. Or tow a boat with the damn thing. Not every car needs to entertain you every minute of the drive. Acura ILX is essentially an upscale Civic SI. For someone who wasn't a car nut, I could see it being a viable choice. So no, I do not agree with the list.

    Agreed, 300 buyers and Charger buyers are different animals.
  5. A Horse With No Name
    Yes it does!
  6. A Horse With No Name
    Fantastic!
  7. A Horse With No Name
    ...and the sales figures show it...

    I do love the XJ in terms of looks also. Also interesting how few Smart cars are being sold.
  9. A Horse With No Name
    Wow...glad I am not that kids dad!

    Yes, I do. This to me solves the biggest issue to me in putting a Chrysler product in my garage. I happen to be the guy who likes sport compacts. The Abarth has great exhaust note, fantastic suspension tuning, et all. I just want all of that manic on a slightly larger safer car. This answers that question. In terms of how well it will be received by the general public, Subaru sold something like 3000 WRX and STI last month, so I would think Chrysler would have no problem moving these. Chrysler high po stuff seems to be selling well, aiming a car at a lower price point and younger demographic is a good idea IMHO.

    They are bringing out a clubman wagon also. Waiting to see it appear as a small pickup truck like those eighties Volkswagen's.

    Happy birthday, sir!

    Agree with you here. Having been a lead on construction programs....they often run directly counter to logic.

    I saw the period in front of the 280 H.P. and thought.....is this thing HO scale perhaps? (Just kidding) I think this makes an infinite amount of sense. Having worked for several contractors and run several hundreds of thousands of miles in full size vans (Econoline, Chevy, etc. ) I know how how much the fuel cost to run these impacts a business. Thanks for the article. Chris

    The Europeans are on fire in some ways. However, Jaguar seems to have a large supply of unsold cars as demand is dropping for them. I would rather have the real thing and own a Benz if I was into luxury cars and wanted an import.

    We are probably going to buy a car this fall to replace my Miata, the new MINI is not on the list. Love my current MINI, but yes, been there, done that.

    It's packaging too. Electric power steering can be done excellently, Ford pretty much has it nailed right now. Now if they could bring that same magic to My Ford touch, they might be in bidness....
  18. A Horse With No Name
    This is a good idea, but also silly in a ways. Not since the first generation Corvair have we seen so many variations of the same basic car.
  19. A Horse With No Name
    Verano still outsold a3....
  20. A Horse With No Name
    Interesting on the Dart. They are common around here.
  21. A Horse With No Name
    They are still sitting on the F type.
  22. A Horse With No Name
    Note that Verano is outselling A3!
  23. A Horse With No Name
    Chevy is selling more Volts than Scion is XBs. Who would ave thought?
  24. A Horse With No Name
    What do you see as unique about North America as a place to market cars? Why do some cars, which sell well elsewhere, like the Jag F type, rot on dealer lots here? And why do we sell cars like the KIA Soul like candy to a pedophile?
  25. A Horse With No Name
    Buick is the original premium brand, and should be sold as such.
