FreedMike, The market for midsize wagons isn't dead, it's just been renamed 'the crossover market'. Egad, I saw a couple of Venzas on the road yesterday...what are people thinking? The new CAFE regs at least give wagons a fighting chance. But as long as there are suckers out there who will pay an extra $10K for a crossover vs. the same product with more glass and cargo space (i.e. a wagon), I don't expect much progress.

Nah this isnt hard at all. Just like figuring out why the TB was canned.. the the Equinox is now just as big. Or why CUVS are as big as SUVS for GM. At my work.. there is one motto. Only thing ya can rely on.. is change itself. (The rest is a hunk of shit)

GregLocock Two adjacent states in Australia have different attitudes to roadworthy inspections. In NSW they are annual. In Victoria they only occur at change of ownership. As you'd expect this leads to many people in Vic keeping their old car.So if the worrywarts are correct Victoria's roads would be full of beaten up cars and so have a high accident rate compared with NSW. Oh well, the stats don't agree.https://www.lhd.com.au/lhd-insights/australian-road-death-statistics/
Lorenzo In Massachusetts, they used to require an inspection every 6 months, checking your brake lights, turn signals, horn, and headlight alignment, for two bucks.Now I get an "inspection" every two years in California, and all they check is the smog. MAYBE they notice the tire tread, squeaky brakes, or steering when they drive it into the bay, but all they check is the smog equipment and tailpipe emissions.For all they would know, the headlights, horn, and turn signals might not work, and the car has a "speed wobble" at 45 mph. AFAIK, they don't even check EVs.
Not Tire shop mechanic tugging on my wheel after I complained of grinding noise didn’t catch that the ball joint was failing. Subsequently failed to prevent the catastrophic failure of the ball joint and separation of the steering knuckle from the car! I’ve never lived in a state that required annual inspection, but can’t say that having the requirement has any bearing on improving safety given my experience with mechanics…
Mike978 Wow 700 days even with the recent car shortages.
Lorenzo The other automakers are putting silly horsepower into the few RWD vehicles they have, just as Stellantis is about to kill off the most appropriate vehicles for that much horsepower. Somehow, I get the impression the OTHER Carlos, Tavares, not Ghosn, doesn't have a firm grasp of the American market.
