It seats about 20
So hurry up, and bring me your juke box money!
(I’ll tag both, it’s basically the same car)
wrong…tis a chrysler
Looks like a Cadiilac or a Lincoln Continental.
Well, with the recent release of V, many people’s thoughts are probably GTA-influenced.
I actually thought of GTA too, but not of Vice City. I kinda missed the Miami-ness of the picture.
well we all know Nissan is crap
“Jessica” plays in the background.
Tonight!
Six ponies share a cruise in a Chrysler.
I beg for a ponified Miami Vice,
and a boffin within our league emerges to tell us a few truths about cars.
(Misclicked)
And properly maintain the car. Filthy oil will harm the engine and in turn lower efficiency. Dirty air filters won’t be able to let enough air pass through when it is needed, so the fuel won’t burn properly - and there goes your cat and emissions. Finally, don’t buy the cheapest possible parts and materials available, get something with a warranty so you don’t waste your money goes back and forth fixing the same part and spending your money.
If you take care of a car, it will take care of you.
Toyotas have their problems, but have usually simple repairs with reasonable costs (except for the Prius, which nobody will work on with promise of danger money).
Hondas can be a little expensive if the electronics are at fault. The Odyssey is particularly hateful minivan.
Avoid Nissan cars at all costs. They’re overpriced vehicles to start with, and if you make the mistake of buying one with a push-button start, be ready to shell out 400 dollars for a new steering lock switch, plus labour and the towing bill you’ll have to pay to move the car to the shop.
As far as fuel economy goes, you’ll be hard pressed to find anything in the US market that gets great mileage and doesn’t look embarassing to drive. But if you want to save money in other ways, learn to drive a stick so you won’t have expensive yransmission repairs
I hope for the latter.
so should we buy Honda or Toyota?
The sad thing about EU spec cars that are built in the US is that their engine computers are deliberately programmed to run worse than the European counterparts. The federal laws on emissions are much more lax compared to likes of the UK and Germany, as are the expectations of the US market when it comes to efficiency and power. Though it is rare, there are a few cars on US roads that were imported from Europe and had no reprogramming or modifications after leaving the factory. Those cars drive a thousand times better than the exact same car built in the US, and also get better fuel mileage due to the European programming.
A good example is the Transit van from Ford finally hitting showrooms in the US. In the UK the Transit is four or five cylinder diesel engine (with one petrol engine option, and usually about 2 or so litres in size. All are manual transmissions. The US is offering no manual transmission versions, and two of the three engine options are six-cylinder, 3+ litre petroleum-fueled motors. The diesel motor is 3.2 litres, and I think a six cylinder too though it may be a five.
A transit doesn’t need any of that, the U.K van would get about 40+ miles on a gallon of diesel, but its safe to say that these American, petroleum-powered Transits are going to get about 20 mpg.
It’s all quite simply bullshit - both the American manufacturers and the market. Ford could’ve brutally murdered all competition if they had basically built a European Transit and sold it in the American markets. But they bastardised it because of the market and their unwillingness to try to change perceptions. For a country that makes a big deal over fuel efficiency, nobody appears to be in a hurry to catch up with European standards.
Wierd, looks like I got logged out.
Chrysler were so bad the last few years Daimler/Mercedes Split from them and Fiat saved them with a partnership deal that saw a platform swap across the range enabling Fiat to sneak models of their own into markets Chrysler had for instance.
Ford simply modified EU spec cars to the US market with varying success GM were luck in most regards but they had to fight their way back in with help from their Volt model.
Can you tell me that Chrysler were actually a half-decent manufacturer in those days? Because today’s models from them are some of the lowest quality pieces of trash I’ve ever had to work on. Somehow Chevy manages to be better in spite of their oil-burning 2010-and-on Suburbans.
Funny how the only other American manfacturer, Ford, appears to build better vehicles and also didn’t take a government bailout when the recession arrived. I wonder if the two are related?
except chrysler never made a convertible in them years…,. in fact they stopped making convertibles in 1970 way before all other companies did untill everyone resumed making convertibles in 1982
I like the Chrysler New Yorker.
