What have we done? 2016 Malibu 1LT 1.5t

You gotta pay if you want some performance in your family hauler.. $30K+ for cars that don't need incentives to sell. Honda doesn't offer an LX trim 2.0T, Nissan doesn't offer a cheap 3.5S Altima, no Camry 3.5 LE etc... These days the third powertrain option for mainstream sedans is a hybrid.

frogger replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)It looks like they might be trying to compete more with the Maxima. How about an AWD PHEV Toyota Avalon?

Random Thoughts Thread
No garages in my area big enough to fit anything larger than a midsize car, unless the house was rebuilt. I suspect the small garages/large sheds house more raccoons than cars overall at this point.

I loved my colleague's GSR back then, it was a tonne of fun driving it on some lunch breaks. I'm still going to go modern and pick a Volt for myself at this point though.
