Is that an Impala? I drove one of those a few weeks ago. I was favorably impressed.

Fuck. Impalas. Cadillacs. I'm turning into an old person.

The current crop of Lexus is not Cylon, it's cetacean. They look like that because their diet is mostly krill.

Well, to be fair, there's a pretty good chance today's Buicks are maybe a step or two ahead of what was offered 20 years ago.

20 years ago I was driving a 20 year old buick.

There's a pretty good chance today's Ikeas are a step or two ahead of that buick. Fuckin' front main seal was made out of wax-impregnated rope.

Piece of shit.

Good American Malaise era cars were few and far between.

Close, it's a Malibu. As the previous owner of a Pontiac Sunfire and the current owner of a Chevy Sonic, I can definitely say GM has stepped up their game and I'm not surprised you liked it.

Shot in the dark, but what about Mazda? I had a rental Mazda in Canada once and while and was pleasantly surprised.

Drove a Mazda 3 for two weeks. It was a fine little car. it just wasn't "fuck yeah I'm spending twenty grand on a Mazda station wagon!" little car.

I believe this is the problem the automakers are dealing with from millennials on all sides: "you want HOW MUCH? for THAT?" And if you don't need to drive that much, I mean, shit. $350/mo is a lot of Lyft.
