Wait, did David Tracey just recommend not a jeep?

Quick correction: you have that the car and driver comparo featured an M3, C63s, a giulia and a CTS-V.

God, I love these things.

Acura RlX - as fwd it’ll be reliable and rare.

This sounds like a good opportunity for a “what should I buy” column.

It’s not a good commercial, but the kind of jump that this represents would be kind of representative of a “power pack” like the AMG-S, or “M competition package” or turbo vs. turbo “S”.

How about a Peugeot 505 with the extra money spent to retroactively upgrade the vehicle to modern reliability standards?

Look, we’ve all had a point in time where we looked at a used evo and said “I could DD that- it’ll be my cold weather rocket ship”.

No disagreement, I just wanted to ra-ra the Midwest.

I’m also a Midwesterner, but I only have one disagreement: the Ohio Honda plant is actually considered world class, and has redefined how not only Honda, but other companies structured their production facilities since it’s inception. That plant got talked about in my engineering classes more than river rouge, or any…

How about b2 spirit 2- b2 spirit harder?

The way that door is cut to form that air channel tho

Actually, I recently bought a 2016 taco trd off-road; mileage isnt as different as you’d expect. My first highway trip I was only around 19.4 mpg- and in the city its not been great either.

Why does that xc60 have such weird looking wheels?

Mark x? So, like a Lincoln mk. X?

Okay, so the big question is going to be this, or a Giulia (if you want a euro car that isn’t German)?

So first, vw sends a ton of overly emissive diesels over here, now they refuse to send an under emissive Audi?

They’ve completely taken any pretense of honda-iness out of the interior. No dual lever dash, no Honda ergonomics, no Honda rice paper plastics.

This is bold- I love it.

Expanding on this question- what’s the fuel economy like? I’m sure you’re not hyper miling it, but a guy has to wonder.
