I just bought a 2024 Jetta GLI with manual. This is a fabulous car that you don’t have to sell a kidney to buy. The 2025 is identical, except for some revised bodywork, haptic climate controls and a navigation screen that looks like an iPad resting on your dash. The latter two items are a significant part of why I…

The answer is Buick. Forget the old-people stigma, the Envista starts at $23K, looks amazing, is small, easy to drive, frugal, and pampers you in every luxury way you can dream of. Small enough for the city but can handle a commute with equal aplomb. 

Gonna vote for the humble station wagon. I’ve done several cross country trips, but the best ones were done in a wagon.

My first in my life track weekend was a “bucket list” event in 2020 at age 65. It was so insanely fun that I decided I had to do it again. The C5Z is so incredibly capable that I had great confidence, knowing that I reached my own limits while my Z06 was at most seven tenths of its limit. So far I have…

Found the cop.

This is why you get liquor for drinks on the plane. The alcohol in it sanitizes whatever it touches.

Counterpoint: my wife wants a V6 Accord to replace the old V6 Accord that she has now, and she doesn’t want to buy used. This will be the only way she gets it.

While “Viggen” is enormously fun to say out loud, this price is kind of bonkers for a kinda-slow, FWD car from a long-dead manufacturer.

The ugliest from America is yet to come. WTF is this ?

When chain-link fence is your design inspiration

Your Alfa Romeo started?

It really depends on how you define ugly. Some cars are boring and generic like every Tesla available today except for the Model S and the Mercedes electric jellybean sedans. And then you have vehicles that are overwrought messes like the Cybertruck, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and, as others have mentioned the XM and iX (I…

Almost always driven by a nervous-looking short guy, btw. 

Since the obvious answer of “nearly every BMW” is taken, I’ll submit Chevy’s trucks:

This is the only answer, we’re done here:

You can’t buy that right now...  Maybe in another decade or so.

That’s great and all, but it looks to still have nearly the same bullshit interior that stopped me from even considering a MK8 R after I spent 5 minutes in it. This is coming from a VAG fanboy whose had multiple VWs and grew up with a dad who had multiple VWs and Audis. Golf R’s don’t have all that much competition,…
