    My favorite Porsche since it came out. My new desktop background.

    Now there's an idear. Chrysler prolly owns the rights to the Rambler name. They should bring it back as a super-simple, affordable brand. Keep it safe with all federally-mandated safety equipment so it's legal to sell, but make it a stripper otherwise. Modern, Depression-era coolness!

    It's really G.A.Y.

    May I trouble you for a night time photo of the taillights taken from directly behind the car? I want to see if it looks like the CTS coupe =]

    max torque, min usefulness, as with all of these. hey at least it's a two-door and it has an...interesting design. i give it that. Thanks for posting all the news from L.A.

    A gasoline-powered Spark 3-door roll-back convertible would be miniature secks. The 500L country version is cooler than I imagined. The city version is kinda blah in the gallery.

    This is for America. Hopefully it will have some redeeming qualities.

    A BMW for the New Age. Breathtaking. Thank you so much, Mr. President.

    Bummer, dude. I hate it when that shit wears off.

    Well yeah... but because of something, KBB states that Toyota and Honda top all others in resale value. Bad for dedicated buyers of other makes as new, but good for same as used buyers.

    Yeah hyper, I know cameras will soon be required, and that economies of scale come into play on the Terrain, etc. But to replace these cameras after an accident drives up the cost of repair, and in turn, insurance premiums and so on and so forth. And I know that multiple models of different sizes and prices kind of abolished the whole full-size stripper special I clamor for. But some ppl cannot fit in a tiny car and they can't afford a big car, unless it's an off-rental 2012 Impala for $12,995, already pre-curbed, pre-used in a drug deal, and pre-General Lee'd over a creek. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

    When you've been jettisoned the way Joel had, any ship, even one currently sinking but still afloat, is better than being in the icy cold water itself. Very true, Drewbert/real life

    Well I broke down and grew my beard out this month. Not sure if I'll keep it past the 30th, but it's not bad havin' it. Here are some wild hair expressions for y'all: http://www.buzzfeed.com/scope/19-people-with-really-couragous-mustaches-73i7

    Oh man, we had a steel-wheel GP wide front too, not for work, just for play and to show it off. My grandfather bought it in poor cosmetic condition, but he sent it out and had it painted and some new stuff put on. Amazing what is still active and available in the John Deere parts catalogue!

    Well if the Terrain SLE-1 had no backup camera it would make me happy because I like to participate in the operation of the vehicle, not just be a passenger waiting for the car to wipe the drool off my chin. And it would lower the price so more could be sold.

    Yup, our '52 Model A had a hand clutch, and an electric starter PEDAL. We had two Model Bs as well, and to start those, you had to open the petcocks, turn on the gas flow, and pull the flywheel. Ah, good times.

    I'm interested in your perception of CUE.
  20. ocnblu
    Seems odd to jump onto a sinking ship.

    I loved our old '52 Model A. That old John Deere two-popper was hypnotic and comforting to hear out there in the sun, raking hay or spreading manure.

    plus one. I drove a Civic Si sedan that was a customer's with about 63k miles. The manual shifter surround was busted and it moved around with the shifter, among other blatant, reportedly un-Honda-like interior flaws.

    Good grief, young lady. It seems you've been working hard on this. But it is still TMI and too distracting. What if the car doesn't understand a word that comes out of my mouth? And these touch screens are iffy, man... no tactile feedback like a button, and they are not immediate like a button, they require you to hold your finger in place longer than a button. Sorry, me no likey "MyLink" and I think it is a waste. Competitive pressure being what it is, though, I do not foresee a turnback of time on these widely panned interactive systems. Pick a system, they've all been panned by reviewers and customers alike... Sync, MyFordTouch, CUE... look what has happened to Ford's "quality" scores because of MyFordTouch and Sync. I know Ford's engineers and line workers didn't suddenly stop putting together a good vehicle... Every review I've read on CUE has panned it. And these reviewers are young ppl who should be tech-savvy, not geezers, like a lot of Cadillac and Impala customers who will absolutely have NO USE for these systems. These systems are not truly made for drivers. Perhaps for PASSENGERS of autonomous vehicles, and that is a future I do not want to participate in. They will have to pry my cold, dead fingers off the steering wheel!
