MaintenanceCosts Love this. A fuel-injected DOHC inline six that was a spaceship engine from the future in 1985. A manual transmission. Proper '80s cocaine styling. It's got everything.

Arthur Dailey Why enter into trade agreements with a) nations whose standards of living are not comparable to yours, b) nations with little or no environmental legislation/protections, c) nations with little to no protections for workers regarding health and safety and employment standards, d) nations whose interests are opposed to yours, e) nations that are not democracies or actively oppose democracy?Trading with 'friendly' and 'like minded' nations with comparable standards of living, is rational and reasonable.Otherwise you are actively subverting your own nation's economy, and the standards of living of its workers. Better to have 'well paying' jobs and goods that are slightly more expensive, than cheap goods and 'bad' jobs.Without its manufacturing and research capacity the USA would no longer be the 'arsenal of democracy'.

3-On-The-Tree It does have that blacked out police vibe to it. Not a HK or Heckler and Koch fan but I do like the way it looks. I drove M1151 up armored Humvees in Mosul Iraq and this Kia looks more tactical than our vehicles.
