  1. Mom likes the new Versa. It's not time to turn in her Forte for another year.
  2. Post your noteworthy spots right here. Let us gobble them up and be thankful.
  3. I find the high-pitched sound of a Mazda Skyactiv engine offputting when it is in cold idle mode. Have you noticed the shrill tone on cold start-up, or is it just me?
  4. Yes but rather than dilute the Murano name, the EV version will be called the Morono.
  5. I prefer manual transmissions and greatly miss that aspect of driving my previous vehicle, a moderately underpowered Jeep Compass. My current vehicle has an 8-speed automatic and has a hard time figuring out what gear it needs to be in from time to time. This would never happen if I could positively select my own gears. I would love the option of a 6-speed manual in the Chevy Colorado with the V6 and four wheel drive. Toyota and Nissan still offer them, but there is no way I would buy one. As far as Europeans go, I envy them for a couple of aspects of their automotive landscape: Manuals are still prevalent in mainstream vehicles, diesels are still available, and smaller vehicles are not viewed as penalty boxes. Also, Europeans are not yet afraid to be fanciful in design. In America, automotive choices disappear every year. There is a sameness to everything because everyone is trying to chase the same customer, apparently. This will only careen further south as more EV are forced onto the market, looking for buyers who do not exist. Sad state.
  6. The vehicles are not manufactured to an enduring standard.
  7. Jeez man, you and your double flushes.
  8. I wonder how many they sell worldwide in a year. Cut that by about 66%.
  9. Needs a waterfall grille mesh. Needs some sort of ventiports. And an Estate version would be a nice option, with woodgrain exterior trim.
  10. Would go over like a fart in church.
  11. This reminds me of that old cop show intro when they're on the shooting range and the target suffers so many hits to the heart it ends up with like a 32 inch hole where its chest USED to be. Your name is henceforth Sniper Balthy.
  12. ????? Well it's a lot JOCKEY. What sort of bull hockey is this
  13. Designed at a time of optimism. Now, with all the oppressive regulations, design is an afterthought. Design is "taboo", except on rare occasions. Too much "safety", not enough daring.
  14. Paragraph six, third sentence. Fourth bullet point.

    Pictures!

    Hi, I went to a studio and had some snapshots taken
  16. I love that 2-door sedan roofline.
  17. It looks terrible, like a cobbled together test mule.
  18. rouge1 /ro͞oZH/ Learn to pronounce noun noun: rouge a red powder or cream used as a cosmetic for coloring the cheeks or lips. another term for jeweler's rouge. verb verb: rouge; 3rd person present: rouges; past tense: rouged; past participle: rouged; gerund or present participle: rouging color with rouge.

  19. Not my spot, but wow, what a sweetheart! 1979 AMC Pacer wagon!
