I don’t quite understand the disparity between Nissan/Infiniti and Honda/Acura. Both Nissan and Honda are on the cheapest cars to maintain, and Acura and Infiniti are on the most expensive. Is this just the difference between dealership pricing on premium brands? Most of the mechanicals are largely the same, no? 

Subject to a visual rust inspection, this strikes me as an easy NP. Even if you can only use it as a yard car. I mean, you can spend $20k on a used side-by-side and do a lot more with this. 

I’m just happy someone actually designed something to look like something, not just a generic shape of a car. Do I love it? Not really. But it’s miles better looking than every jelly bean shaped crossover. And I like seeing them out of the corner of my eye and thinking quickly that I saw some bizarre Porsche. 

Who knows. Certainly not me...

Agreed. I can’t stand everything about them. I live in Albany, NY and our roads are atrocious. Potholes, ruts, dips, cracks, whatever. Friend of mine would go through 2-3 tires a year and usually at least one wheel and she just couldn’t understand why despite my many explanations that 18" rims and 3" tires do not play…

Same. I struggle to even understand who this truck is for? Guys who like big trucks don’t want an EV. People who want EVs seem to want something “sporty” and fast. People with $100k to spend on a truck want something unique and buy a CT. It just doesn’t make any sense to me.

Lucky! Lol. Mostly, happenstance and coincidence. When I was in third grade I became best friends with a kid who, unknown to be, turned out to be very wealthy. As someone who was decidedly unwealthy, this was a strange thing to experience. But, they had a 45' sailboat which we sailed all over the east coast, from…

Yeah, I agree. I’d be shocked if a cruise ship like this one could come back from that. 

Other than the rims, I just don’t hate it. Do I think a regular GT500 looks better? Sure. But, I can’t hate this thing. 

Doesn’t look close to anything like 45 degrees to me. I’ve grown up sailing and raced on all different kinds/sizes of sailboats. I’m sure it was terrifying, but you aren’t just walking around on a boat that’s heeled over at 45 degrees. 

Very, very cool. Never heard of that series, I’ll have to look into it. Big VW scene where I am (mid-State NY) and I’ve gotten to drive a bunch of fun VWs. The most memorable being a Mark IV R32. Or maybe first-gen Corrado. Good friend has your same GTI as a fun daily, and it is exactly that. I bet it’s a blast to…

Sounds fantastic!

Yeah, I'd say the average price on these will be $50k. Which I guess is the new normal. I haven't wrapped my head around that. But, doesn't seem to matter! 

I’m sadly limited in my track experience. The only car driven semi-aggressively on a track was a Saab 92x (WRX) with a decent bit of modifications pushing something like 275 hp at the wheels during an open track day at Lime Rock back when that was all very different. And I’m not embarrassed to admit that it felt like…

Totally agree.

These days a Rav4 is realistically low $30k and you can push it to $40k. Insane. So a base price in low/mid 40k is probably acceptable or close to acceptable in terms of where it fits in the range. Problem is, no one will carry base price, so the ones you’ll see the most will be $47-48k with plenty sitting right at…

With a base price of mid 40s, I’m assuming the one in the photos will be pushing low/mid $50s when it comes out. Wild.

Anyone talking about the carbon footprint of my car idling for 10 minutes when its 17 degrees out can pound sand. Hopefully get some oil out of there for us to use.

Ha. I thought the same. That’s quite the fast boat!

All the guy had to do was quietly go into retirement and move on. He’d forever be remembered as the hero mayor of NYC during 9/11 who was the face of a national tragedy unlike anything we’d seen. Showing true grit, moral fiber in the face of comments from Saudi leadership (and the refusal of a $10 million donation…
