Its still pretty fucking ugly, which wouldn’t be as bad if not for the fact that it STARTS at $63k. So what you get for a ton of money is a cartoonishly styled, ugly looking bulbous SUV... thing.

Did I mention GM? No. We were talking about VW. Thanks.

It was nice of you to spend all that time, based purely off of an assumption on what you think I own. Guess what genius, I own a 20 year old Toyota Tacoma, owned a Prius for 12 years and grew up with Toyota trucks. So first of all, you can knock it off with that crap.

I suppose you didn’t get my statement which is that your personal experiences do not cancel out the overall experiences VW owners have had because otherwise the brand would be at the top of the list with the likes of Toyota, Honda and so on. Instead they are down the list close to Chrysler.

What you’re saying is the same as someone saying that they had three Yugos that all performed flawlessly and therefor ALL Yugos are the same.

You missed my point. They INTENTIONALLY cheated. As in they intentionally and deliberatly engineered a faulty system to cheat out laws.

People would probably dislike the brand less if their branding wasn’t so obnoxious: aka” “the power of German Engineering etc etc”, and especially when their cars have notoriously spotty reliability problems: More people that I’ve known who’ve owned VW’s or VAG products have had issues with their cars than any other…

This bears repeating once again. VW intentionally engineered a system on their cars to cheat emissions. Even if we weren’t talking about emissions here the fact remains that the level of intentional dishonesty is worse than the outcome. There is a big difference between a fault that comes about later as an…

While I love their work part of me can’t help but wonder that if these are actually 100% scratch built then why not simply design your own new, unique design?

The worst for me was a 87' Nissan Sentra. The car was $700... in other words, cheap for a reason. Yes, the car drove but after a week or so I realized that the car had been in some major accident or something because the frame was bent and one fender was from a previous model and had a totally different turn signal…

All I can think of is .... well done.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

This was back when Honda knew how to make some very nice, albeit reserved, but nice looking cars. At one time my wife owned a almost pristine 1991 Honda Civic hatch. To me the car still looked great even when it got up to being 20+ years old. We sold it to some 18 year old kid. I don’t want to know what has happened…

If this is geared towards the Chinese market that explains the attention on the rear seats: having a driver while the owner sits in the back is from What I’ve heard common there

I recall that back in the 60's there were actually transluscent tires that had neon inside. Now that would be cool to see again.

Stick a thumb over the audi badge in the pic and it pretty much looks like a Honda/Acura/Mazda.

Add me to the list of those who thinks luxury trucks are stupid, but if Mercedes thinks slapping a badge on a Nissan is it then they clearly misunderstand the U.S. Truck market. The”luxury” trucks sold in the us are gigantic things. This Nissan - Mercedes looks about Tacoma size.

And then it hit an iceberg. Oh no!

You are probably correct. We do in fact make a LOT of BMW’s and Mercedes SUVs and at the same time, those are exported to Germany. So I suppose this is nothing new.

Regardless of brand, god what a pretty car. THIS to me is what Cadillac probably used to mean to people: something you really want, which i do, and I’m not exactly a luxury car buyer.
