Random Thoughts... [Automotive Edition]

Nice Fusion :p

I think I spy a Ranger in the reflection in the dealer window...

You do, yes, it's a very rural dealership and a decent amount of what they sell is Rangers. They're quite popular with the farmers around here.
 
Indeed Ford is on a roll!

I came here to post this garbage:


Sorry!
 
I find these presentation videos about crappy eastern/asian cars strangely fascinating.
 
Yikes.

It's a ranger, yes.
 
The Fiat 500L was both better and worse than expected. Still s**t, though it has managed to avoid being the worst 'new' car I have driven in the last 18 months - that dishonor goes to the Chevrolet Sparq tied with the Nissan "Chinese Micra" Versa.

Anyone buying a 500L, especially at the asking price in the US, is an idiot. Review being posted later tonight; I have to upload the pictures after I finish rebuilding my 919 rear master cylinder.

No, because that would mean I have to actually go deal with a Jeep dealer droid *or* actually pay money to rent one. I did not have to deal with a dealer or pay money to check out this 500Laaaaaame.

Oh, one other point - I found the 500L to be very Italian. And not in the way my 919 is also Italian.

So... two cars that both massively outsell the 500L in the US are worse? *gasp* But you 'Muricans buy them in significant numbers...
