So is this subscription just a lease? Did Volvo just “rebrand” leasing to pander to millenials and younger (I’m a millenial so I’m not just an old man complaining about kids these days)?

So because you think that HE PERSONALLY never was caught up in this absolutely clusterfuck, that therefore he has no responsibility for things that have happened? Hoo boy someone explain what CEO stands for to this sweet sweet summer child.

Ditto. I hate it because its ugly as hell and less practical than a proper wagon.

This author understnds that Lexus was just an American thing in the 90s right? And that its was and always has been Toyota, just Toyota++. The SC was a Toyota in Japan. The Supra was absolutely a Toyota.

Yea, snoqualmie can get pretty gnarly in the winter. I drive an AWD wagon with snow tires in the winter. I rarely need it in Seattle proper, but this winter tehy’ll get a workout as my daughter is signed up for Ski School (wooo!

I think, more appropriately, we should really consider the carbon footprint these volcanoes have and have a frank chat with the planet about why it was so irresponsible as to have so many volcanoes. The carbon footprint of each volcano must be astronomical over their lifetimes. Even one less volcano could make a real…

This.

Yea...I mean what kind of idiot drives their car..to do stuff...

I was going to say...You sorta lost me at hysteresis.

This. Maybe its the nostalgia talking (I am old enough to remember playing on the original xbox ad naseum with my friends) but none of the sequels captured the mystery and wonder of CE.

5th Gear: I just filled up with Premium the other day here in Seattle. It was $4.79. Those prices in Japan don’t seem particularly terrible...

Indeed. Particularly when some laws were written a hundred years ago when we were traveling by horse drawn carriage and boat and the fastest form of communication was the written letter.

I’d agree with the sole exception of the 22B. That thing is a MACHINE. And it looks SO SO good too...

I’m fighting the good fight here.
