the girls LOVE the 500s

... I don't like getting hair in my teeth

Cost.

I like. Every additional diesel model offered in the U.S. is a good thing and helps towards greater critical mass.

Ok, how about a Studebaker Champion? Surely that would be a family car. Willys Aero? Nash Rambler?

No other sizes?

Didn't you note the power output of the Chevrolet 130R concept?

Woops! I meant Balth. I posted that from my phone.

That must be one hell of a strong pole to not even be bent by nearly 4,000 lbs of Camaro traveling at that rate of speed.

Why do you think that? He's gotta be in his upper 60's. If the man wants to retire, let him retire.

I don't think anyone here is the "typical" car buyer Camino.

We haven't had a "That will buff right out!" Thread in a while. Hit it guys!

I dunno. A 560 horsepower awd all electric Mini-Cooper could be a hoot.

Apparently we have been in a mild cycle this time around.

It is transverse mounting of the engine that pushes the wheels back. The old dodge monaco and intrepid have their front wheels relatively forward.

Because the cars that fit old-timer definitions are entirely out of production now and have been since the early '80s

I think there is still a lot of confusion on the difference between foreign brand and foreign built.

It's going to "look" RWD, but not actually "be" RWD.

Mazda

well... it'd look like a Golf.

interesting that diesels are requested so often... but Mini Drivers are a unique bunch.

Ford Edge?

We should come up with our own names here: Mine: Jeep Grand Cherokee Black-Ops

I took crossovers out of the debate because of the pollution of the name by Honda and BMW lately. But here is another one to ponder: Ford Flex - Wagon Scion xB - Hatchback yet they have a very similar shape.

I think the Malibu Maxx suffered in the market because of the ugly face (a trait of the sedan as well) but as long as you didn't look at the front, the rest of the car was kind of bulldog attractive. The interior.... well, that was another story. The Magnum was most certainly a wagon no matter what Dodge wants to call it. The 300C wagon was called an Estate in Europe. You don't get much more wagon than that without using the actual word. Interestingly, both the Commonwealth of PA and Progressive Insurance list our CR-V as a "Honda CR-V Wagon" on the respective identification cards.
