I've been in a PT Cruiser exactly once in my life and can describe the experience as "a TURDIS". It's roomy inside but I'd only be there under duress e: it was clowndick purple, the driver was elderly, and the transmission was broken so I consider it an accurate sample AveMachina fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Feb 7, 2019 |

Yesterday, I saw one of those poor PTs with the full fake woodgrain vinyl wrap treatment with a sticker on it which said "not today, SATAN, not today" Just another day in very normal Protestant America

Throatwarbler posted:I think they said the regular cab was coming later. They have explicitly said there won't be a 2-door Gladiator. Brute conversions will probably still be a thing though. I personally like the Gladiator, almost enough to think about considering entertaining having the idea of potentially owning one (and I have no desire to own a Wrangler), especially if the aftermarket produces this safari top for it:  My vehicle tastes are usually the opposite of AI though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Chris Knight posted:Lol what?! The Honda Crossroad! Honda's market research in the early 90s indicated that SUVs were getting popular, so they decided they would license a full-size one from an established manufacturer. Then they rolled a natural 1 and decided that manufacturer would be Land Rover. Lasted about 5 years if I recall. They replaced it with the CR-V, which is the rare occasion in which you can say the CR-V was better than something.

Oh FCA, you put coil springs on the rear axle of your full-size pickup trucks, but leaf springs on your mid-size Jeeps turned trucks. So a Ram 1500 will have better off-road articulation than your Wrangler variant (unless you’ve figured out some magic with the leaf springs). Never change, you lovable weirdos.

They should have asked Isuzu or Mitsubishi (they eventually did get an SUV from Isuzu in exchange for giving them rebadged Civic and Accords.)

Surely those manufacturers were already selling SUVs in Japan and wouldn't have wanted to have their sales cannibalised.

Memento posted:They replaced it with the CR-V, which is the rare occasion in which you can say the CR-V was better than something. I wasn't aware of the Crossroad, but the CR-V was essentially a baby SUV that was available with 3 pedals, a Civic interior, and had a B20 under the hood - not a bad combination for the US. That B20 was easy to swap for much more fun, the gearbox was easy to swap for something with a shorter final drive (... like an Integra gearbox), or with a little work, slap a B18C VTEC head on to wind up with what was known as the CR-VTEC. It couldn't rev like the B18C, but so long as you respected the stock redline and used a piggyback to lower the VTEC engagement, it was fun as hell (it was fun as hell even if you didn't do any of that and just got rid of the rev limiter, but it would spin a bearing or toss a couple of rods in a hurry). The CR-VTEC was a very popular swap into Integras and Civics for a few years too (and there's no shortage of the B20 CRV bottom ends today) - "no replacement for displacement". But you'd have to drop some cash on it unless you wanted to swap bottom ends every few months. Or keep it below 6k. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Feb 8, 2019 |

That wing provides lift to increase the rake so the underfloor of the car can act as a giant diffusor. It's brilliant.
