This is going to end up in Politics real soon. TRY to keep it civil in here.

and WOOD and a hand lever was good enough for our brakes!

I'm looking for a specific time of year

When is the last time you noticed a leak?

I really like the one at the NYC Autoshow, but it's a tweener. Not quite Fusion sized, but not Focus small either.

So file a lien on the property.... but hey, you defended BP by saying wind power was more destructive to the environment than the oil spill.... so what can we really expect from you.

Americans Want Econoboxes? SUVs Back Over 50 Percent of Vehicle Sales
Drew Dowdell replied to CSpec's topic in Industry News
I don't think anyone on C&G can be considered a "typical" automotive consumer. My point was that CSpec's assertion that people won't buy premium small cars is conspicuously wrong with the 3-series. Here in Chevy land, even with lots of hills and snow, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a 3-series... I can't imagine what it's like in SoCal. -

3-series. -
Because if your AAA insurance has lapsed, they'll still tow the car for you and just bill you for it. The same should have been done for this home.

But you're not going to be able to do that kind of setup again on a Jetta anymore either.

you have the service manual?

Not especially. Look at the best selling SUVs and CUVs (the only way you get to 50% is by including CUVs) CR-V, RAV4, Equinox, Escape, Forester, and things like the HHR and PT Cruiser are technically included in the CUV count. The 4-cylinders are at better than a 75% take rate on models that have a V6 available. What American's really want are tall AWD station wagons..... they just don't want to call them that. -
I now own a true "stovebolt" Chevy

The Mini is awful with noise, ride comfort, and ergonomics! Even even gets lame fuel economy for how small it is. If someone made a previous generation 3-series with more of an eye on fuel economy, that is what I would use as a model for "small, but premium and efficient" -

Do you simply ignore everything I say? I just said that people drive SUVs because small cars don't currently offer the amenities people want in a vehicle. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why people who can afford it buy an Escalade or DTS or STS over a Cobalt. It's because there isn't a Cobalt sized vehicle that offers the comfort and amenities that the big vehicles have.
