^Why get the Countryman over this?

1st Gear: While he is at the helm now and likely aware to some degree of the cheater device, Michael Horn has only been in charge at VWoA for a little over a year and his head on the chopping block almost seems like an unnecessary casualty. I would place more blame on former VWoA CEOs Jacoby and Browning, but alas…

Texting at a stop light does not endanger anyone. This is purely a revenue grab in the disguise of public safety.

And knowing Audi of late it will only be available with a DSG. Amazing how Audi, let alone German manufacturers have changed in the last 10 years as the B7 RS4 was manual only. Progress is not always a good thing.

Neutral: JD Power’s Study is a little bit of a bust or if anything a little misleading in its name. The title is “Initial Quality” which makes one think of things that go wrong with the car (ie: things breaking, falling off, etc.). However, the bulk of the survey deals with how easy it is to use the features in a…

Considering the upcoming 1er sedan is going to be FWD. The 2er GC will be the small RWD BMW sedan, I’ve been waiting for. Hopefully in the spirit of the E30/E36.

I worked for a major Automaker for two years out of college, first as an intern and then in product strategy and I couldn’t agree with your assessment more, Doug. Doing product planning for autos was my dream since I was 12 and then when I got in the industry, I realized it wasn’t all I hoped it would be. Dealing with…

You are right, however most cars below $20k at least have soft touch material on top of the door panels where your arm would go and nearly every car has trim to break up the sea of black on the console. Even the last generation Mustang had a more creative and richer looking center console design, still with cheap…

I agree with your review on all point but the interior. 5/10 would be the score I’d give it like you did, however for different reasons.

Oh good call. Yep thats what I meant, the crest.

What the hell is that? Are they putting the new wreath on the fenders as well? Meh...seems gimmicky. It might look better on the bottom of the fender where GM used to put the “Mark of Excellence” badges from 2006-2010

MCI- Kansas City International is MCI as it was originally named Mid-Continent International after Kansas City based Mid Continent Airlines that later merged with Braniff

I have never tipped an Uber driver. Everything is cash less and frankly I love not having to pay extra on top of my fare. The tipping culture in America has gone too far, everyone wants a tip these days. Good for Uber for going against it!

I hate the new design too. The slim, horizontal Oldsmobile headlights just don't fit on a vehicle this gargantuan and the slopping hood is just odd. I hate it when something that shouldn't look like a car adds car like elements.

Thought I was being trolled, then saw it wasn't written by Torch, so it must be legit!

Also only available in AWD. BMW stupidly won't let Americans have a RWD 3 series wagon

Volkswagen Group's 4 cylinder 2.0T TSI. That thing is in everything! Nearly every VW model (save Touareg) has it as either a standard or optional engine. Its can also be found in multiple SEATs, Skodas, and Audis. And the thing has been around for years, it has to be as common as a Chevy small block by now!

100 official photos of the new 1 were leaked on carscoops:

I grew up in Portland and your jokes on Subaru landed to perfectly. Subaru owners are so sensitive because they know the stereotype is true, they should just embrace it.

4) is definitely a Buick. Perhaps Verano?
