A Horse With No Name

Thank you for your rational response, Z06. We seem to have let the dog out of the pen to fight...goooood....

The Corvette thing vs the Boxster thing, they are very different cars. I've thought of buying various examples of each over the years, but prefer small cars myself. But the interior and stereo quality in the Boxster is a little over rated IMHO>

Sorry to hear about your bad luck...

Agreed, I think someone at Nissan has a significant other that works in the narcotics department. I think Nissan cars are pretty much a good example of borrowing a few samples from the evidence closet.

Agreed...

As the owner of a Mazda Miata and MINI Cooper S, I have to disagree. I love sporty cars, and will be buying another car next year. I think the new Focus ST stands a pretty good chance, and I would say that it would ahve better build quality than a new MX5 or MINI Cooper S. Test drove a New 13 Mustang before we bought the Cooper S for my wife to drive, fit and finish on the Mustang was much better than even modern BMW products. And while I like the new FRS/BRZ, park one next to a Verano or Focus ST, the American/UAW cars are better built, I think. Still doesn't mean I won't end up with a world rally blue BRZ or a Candy White GTI in the driveway next spring....But the American cars are there, quality wise. And see here I honestly disagree with you, and I own 3 Imported cars and two Chevrolet's... I tend to think Porsche cars have real issues as well, and I know a bunch of the Porsche guys. I've done corner work and worked as a race official for Porsche Club of America races, and autocrossed with the Porsche guys. Interior quality issues and build quality issues are very real here also. While I like Porsches (look at how many I've posted in the car pics thread I started) they have issues also. And my wife really didn't like the quality of the Accord or Civic when we test drove them...she really, really didn't liek the Civic SI. Again, I'm from central Ohio which is "Honda Country." I know a lot of people that work at Honda, both on the line and in engeneering and development. Honda has at least as many issues as GM, seriously I think.

Thanks for the review,the styling of the new Jetta has grown on me. curious of what you think about interior quality, and if there are any rattles or other noises.

Just moderate the posts....and see what comes. I think it will work out, sir!

Would be nice, but I'd borrow a friends truck for that....

You've needed a better work truck than the RPOS for awhile, interested to see what you bring home.

I pretty much would rather be bitten by a rabid dog than drive a Versa.

typical of a lot of corporate America, IMHO.

V8 is in the rear, 4 cyl is in the front...build thread is in the link.

No longer in production, but dismal none the less. GM walked out of the midsize cargo market when they discontinued the HHR Panel and Astro cargo., GM needs another mid sized cargo type vehicle, IMHO.

The first of forty....

"Mitsubishi, a brand that was riding high in the early to mid-nineties with vehicles like the Eclipse, Galant, Montero, and Diamante has fallen into obscurity very rapidly" Not rapidly enough...given the current market, I see the demise of Mitsu, Suzuki, Mazda, and a few other players. Nice write up on a dismal vehicle.

Rock on Gm indeed!

Why not have both? I've owned 7 RWD Muscle type cars, and 7 Sport Compact type cars that I've loved....why can't I have both...these guys do! Build thread... http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/2012-challenge-build-thread-dirty-escort-ii-the-li/48581/page1/

Let's go for it....it beats being twelve old men posting here in ten years....with 45,000 posts apiece... I like the way you think!

I have nothing against someone owning one. Honestly, they need to make it so kit cars, be they a factory five roadster, a steel bodied thirty 32 Ford, or this, can be built.

Agree with you there, sir! Hopefully, they do so now....
