Subaru Outback. Takes a roof rack, hitch rack, or a bike or two inside with the seats flipped down. Good mileage, lots of features, too.

Pizza is actually American, I dont buy German cars, and eating raw fish is totally gross. Talk to the people that have gotten worms from raw fish.

+1. Just look at the whole Takata air bag mess. Japanese company with a European headquarters in Germany where it also has nine production facilities.

thanks to an Italian design, a Jeep Cherokee is now a decent SUV to drive on the highway & a pleasure for everyone to sit in

Hey guys. Let’s keep the politics out of this thread or we will have to close it.

All the “small” pickups grew into mid-sized. Too bad as the smaller versions were a really useful size and design.
You could run a 4 banger on those, now you want a 6 if hauling anything or want to get the things to highway speed within the week.
Ford as well as Dodge just dropped out of this market, though Ford is supposed to bring something to the market next year. Curious why they abandoned it.

Nice trucks, the Rangers. Nice size as well.

I have a dodge grand caravan, seats fold into the floor...
a bike rack would be optimal, but throwing a bike in the back will do for now.

I have a new generation GC. I can open the sliding door roll my bike in (behind the front seats) and close the door. It fits fine.

My vote went for a 2016 Subaru Impreza.
And it's good for the driver.
I was rear ended by a garbage truck and pushed into a F150.
