Last I heard 3 out of every 4 BMWs is leased. And based on resale values the more expensive they are the more disposable they are. It is a different approach for sure.

If the ES were shorter and available in AWD it would be of interest to me.

Agreed, especially in the context of their string of recent powertrains. Skyactiv-D was a full on flop; Skyactiv-X’s delays are worrying; and even the 2.5T is just OK.

Good automatics are fine. There’s more to driving enjoyment than operating a clutch pedal and shift lever. 

1st- I still contend that there are too many brands. I don’t want people to lose their livelihoods but I think the next recession is going to put a few brands to bed.

Vid is blocked here but Driver61 is a great channel

1st- I thought all dealers made most of their money on used sales and service.

Unless you need a back seat, I’m pretty sure you just described a 370Z.

I feel like they took those bumpers off an Opel Kadett

To be fair, it’s possible this money will be used to repair the existing and excellent public transport options.

This is another example of how NYC can simultaneously be the best and worst city in the country. What alternative transportation? The MTA is damn near bankrupt and a lot of the subway lines near the BQE ranges from totally non-functional (L train) to the worst in the city (JMZ and G). What’s next, bike lanes on the…

Why does it have to be either or?

How is it Mazda’s fault that consumers have less buying power?

Lol I knew this but rushed through anyway. Fair play

CP only because of that V8. Turd of a motor. If it were a 640i (not sure they were available this year) I’d say NP. Though I’d really just prefer an E60 535i

“Both companies make parts for internal-combustion engine powered cars, which are broadly in decline as government regulations—particularly in Europe and China—incentivize a shift to electrified powertrains.”

Like I said. Little overlap. Techies and F150 owners are basically complete opposites.

I sincerely doubt there’s much overlap between traditional truck buyers who want something electric and people who want the Cybertruck. I don’t think the traditional truck makers have much to worry about. 

They might as well be fleet only and have like 50 miles of rated city range. I am waiting with baited breath to see what the highway range on an EV pickup is like as I imagine that’s going to... take a lot of wind out of their sails.
