Mitsubishi Eclipse Craws should be #1 choice. Mirage G4 should be #2.

If a xc or rdx is in the running, might as well test drive a Stelvio

This is kind of like a crossover. I mean, it crossed over an ocean.

What's up with that GM ad saying their vehicles are more reliable than Honda and Toyota?

It was based on a survey for MY2015 (maybe '14) only, IIRC. In other words, not long-term enough for it to actually matter. Same reason why JD Power surveys are pretty worthless, IMO.

Even if the surveys that those ads are citing were legit, I wouldn't buy a Chevy just because those ads are so damn annoying.

GM has really been making advertising and product planning missteps lately.

My wife always tries to trick me into watching the GM ads where they mistake a malibu as a Jaguar.  I just start ranting and raving whenever they're on.  Worst commercials ever.

"I thought it was a Land Rover!"

I won't buy one out of spite.  Also, I think the product is terrible too.

Their ads are sooooo annoying.  Do they actually fool nonthusiasts??  I can't stand advertisements that basically assume I'm retarded and can't see how dumbly fake they are.

WTF is with the curtains? Are we serving tea in the parlor?

Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

People who watch live sports.

Also I saw one of those Chevy ads at the gas pump the other day. :rage:

0-60 (all from Motor Trend)

Forester: 9.6
RAV4: 8.5
CR-V: 8.6 in one article, 7.6 in another
CX-5 base: 8.3
CX-5 2.5T: 6.3

So yes, the Forester is slow for its class (and 9.6 is pretty much just straight up slow for 2019).

9.6 seconds!? Holy shit that's slow as fuck.

Why on earth would you suggest a comfortable, sporty, beautiful, and practical Stelvio?!?
