    I notice the Trax is not on your list there. All the reviews are saying it rides and drives nicely, and it returns pretty good fuel mileage. I am not sure if the six speed is a sealed unit though. Plus it is a tad smaller than the 'Nox and Escape, although it seems about the same inside as a Patriot, imo. A Trax LS AWD is about $22-$23k MSRP and Chevy seems to run specials on them often... unless it has already been ruled out for its size or its Korean point of manufacture. I sat in a Trax LT (front and rear) at the PA Auto Show and thought it a pleasant vehicle. Escape S is a good choice with the 2.5, and I still like the Patriot, too though.

    Looks exactly like Grumpy Cat from this angle.

    Some of the people will demand fuel economy, some will demand power. Everyone is different. Everyone should have what they want. Better for business. Better for the U.S. economy as a whole.

    I would freeze emissions standards and drop fuel mileage requirements entirely. Let people decide what to drive.

    Not bad. Not big. I sat in the passenger front seat (without adjusting it) then got "behind myself". The rear leg room was OK for me I guess. Visibility seems good. I thought it would feel bigger inside. They had the hatch locked, and no power to the instruments, etc. There were about 8 ppl around it, which, for a small show, seemed pretty good. I also sat in a Sonic hatch, Cruze hatch, Trax, and Camaro SS convertible in the Chevy area.

    Well people will certainly feel like peeing on them. They won't sell, that much is certain.

    Hellcat is still much more car, much more fun, much more essence of automobile. Much more coveted, much more history, much much MOAR.

    Carfax is only as good as the information it can gather about a vehicle. Some insurance companies don't share crash data with Carfax. If a person pays cash to have crash repairs done, there is no way Carfax can know that. For a recent example, I had a young lady come in for an estimate on her Escape she bought from a local Carmax, minor damage to a fender... but I would have normally written to blend into the front door... except it had a terrible paint job on it, along with the rear door and the quarter panel. There was also evidence of center post repair, which is definitely a structural part. When I told her about it, she was shocked and dismayed... the vehicle was purchased with a clean Carfax. I was involved in two accidents with my 2007 GMC Sierra, one involved pulling sway out of the front of the frame... neither of those accidents showed up on Carfax even though they were insurance claims. Best way to ease your mind about a used vehicle purchase is have a good body tech go along with you to check it out. There are all sorts of telltale signs that a layperson might not spot.

    LOL n00bs. Carfax is FAR from perfect. Basically a gimmick.

    A miniature squirter and then a puff of air to dry it. I was LOL when I sawr it demonstrated but then I was like cool man. For example my truck camera is useless this time of year with wet and road salt. I get tired of rubbing its little butt hole back there.
