Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

You may discuss our cover story of the day in this thread....
Used Vehicle Review:
1997-2003 Ford F-Series trucks
1999 Ford F-150 XLTThis generation of F-series didn't set truck enthusiasts' hearts on fire with its less-than-masculine styling, and the replacement of the 4.9-litre inline six with the more modern 4.2-litre V6, but you'd be hard pressed to find a more reliable used workhorse at a better price, says Chris Chase.       More...

Just about a week ago I saw a short younger woman trying to back into a parking space with a Super duty King cab at the grocery story. She ended up hitting the tiny Toyota echo hatch that was parked in the space next to it...while the owner was still in the car. Priceless

I'm amazed at how big these trucks can get. But they seem to do their job well. Last winter I saw an F150 pull an Impala Police cruiser out of the snow. Seems they are better for doing tough jobs than grocery getting

No mention of the APA Investigation into premature wear of the tie rod ends?

Yes we had a bunch of these f 150's in our  service fleet 98's i believe. The tie rods had to be replaced every year. To me a truck should be tougher than this.
We started to call them the ford trucks with the "shopping cart wheel front ends". Not very safe. Shocked
