I agree the whole big truck thing seems kind of silly when a decent sized sedan/wagon can tow perfectly fine.

Do you guys have some super-spec Mercedes Sprinter van over in Europe? Over here they only have a 5,000 lb towing capacity, which isn't any more than a mid-size SUV.
The Indiana State Police has a small fleet of Mustang GT's... I'm assuming the Charger is at the top of list simply because no Coyote has made a lap of that track yet?
Yeah, I've never understood these either. I don't know anybody who's ever had the line "...and I'd like my name applied in vinyl to the back window of a late 90's Grand Prix" in their last will and testament.
I would think $12,500 could get you into a mighty fine Vanagon which would give you more hipster points because VW.
CP because an overheating Northstar usually means you have to have to pull the heads and helicoil every head bolt hole. After all that work you'd still have a FWD slushbox Caddy. Do not want.
...That must be what happens when you 89 mph.
They're not all gadgety like new stuff is, but I liked the Z32 300ZX keys. They were machined from metal instead of using plastic to make the top part thick... and they were stylized enough to let you know your car was cooler than a Sentra or Altima.
They can't just come out and say "Hey guy, here's another SUV that's not really any better or any worse than the dozens of others you could buy. It doesn't really matter what type you get since it's just going to shuttle you back and forth from your banal, meaningless, job anyway."
The only reason I can imagine for spending $70k on a Kia luxury sedan is so you can brag about having the fastest depreciating car in the world.
It would not end well for you.
I want to go to there.
From what I've seen? Colorado. I haven't driven through there often, but I remember marveling at how heavy traffic can cruise along at 75-80mph in torrential rain over a mountain without any accidents.
Actually, it can't and doesn't. Google Maps can give you estimated transit times based on historic data, but that's somewhat akin to consulting Poor Richard's Almanac to tell you what the weather has been on September 16th for the past hundred years. Historic data is what it is: historic.
Here's why that's just not good enough: Google maps can find you the most direct route to a given destination. It cannot, however, predict traffic. It does not have the capacity to select alternative routes on the fly that may be much longer in terms of distance, but ultimately shorter in terms of time due to traffic…
He's sawing back and forth at the wheel in the straights because his tires are spinning and the back end of the car would spin if he didn't. You can tell from listening to the motor that he's fighting to get the rear tires to hook up through the entire video.

Z3 M Coupe. It's quirky and affordable enough to be a car for a likeable protagonist. It's fast enough to be plausible in an exciting chase or action sequence. It's both rare and easily identifiable, meaning people will forever associate it with the movie from that point on.
...The flipside of this is there will never be an autonomous motorcycle, and I doubt the people will ever allow an outright ban of motorcycles, meaning after the government decides it wants skynet to drive your car your car for you the world will a veritable utopia for motorcyclists.
