I mean you could say that about a number of “luxury” brands.

Isn’t the answer basically anything from 1980's Cadillac or Lincoln? Exception maybe being the Allante? Just uninspired, badge engineered, premium priced peak malaise vehicles riding the coat tails of old folks who still considered the brands to be the pinnacle of American automobiles?  I mean, they’d be cheap to…

Agree, and I was wondering how the paint is gone already. The car isn’t that old, nor are there that many miles on it. Is it rubbing against that shitty looking hood?

Well, I don’t particularly like the “bolted on fender” widebody look, anything “Gucci”, or the other mods here except maybe the wheels. So no-go for me unless it was like $10k.

I don’t want a black interior. I also don’t want white...when I’ve seen jeans stain white leather interiors. Brown is good. I like gray too. Beige is OK I guess. I’d love some more blue interiors. Red works with certain exterior colors. Volvo used to have that “orange” that could make a come back.

Exactly.  It is the winter.  95% of the cars on the road are covered in grime.  Who cares?

I’d have no problem special ordering a car to not be stuck with the silver/gray, white or black car with black interior occupying most dealer lots.

I usually target McDonalds when on a road trip because the bathrooms there are usually halfway decent.  Coffee isn’t awful either and used to be a $1. 

Just to add to the chorus...some more options besides white, black, gray, silver, and red. Maybe you get a blue thrown in there if you are lucky.

Right. Way too often it seems like people look at a car like the HS and determine that since it can’t run with a Corvette and corner like a go kart, the manufacturer screwed up.

How is the electrical on these? I know someone who had a M-class (or ML whatever they were called then) with the V6 from this time period and it was in and out of the dealer constantly for 2 years for various “glitches” before they unloaded it.

I intended to do that when I bought my last car. Set up a binder and everything.  Eventually receipts started getting shoved into the glove box, on to a shelf in the garage, not making it into the binder.  At this point it is just an incomplete record.  Maybe Carvana will stick around long enough to buy it from me. 

OK, but they exist and can be had for $33k or less.

The WRX, a few BMWs, the RAV4 Prime and anything else featuring piano black trim on the exterior.

Tough to remember Infiniti exists period. 

Seems like this truck hit the wall in the past year with all those repairs after the engine swap and now this guy wants out. But as usual, seems to think it is made of gold or something.

Just because the dealership exists doesn’t mean you get customer service better than Comcast. The dealer sales and service staff can be just as infuriating as any standard bearer for poor customer service in other industries.

I don’t think I’ve seen anything on it recently, but there are studies that show there is a shockingly high amount of people who would be crippled by a $500 surprise expense. Even in my high income area, there is usually data that shows a lot of people are carrying several thousand dollars of credit card debt. CC…

Some of the worst I see these days, living in an area that only gets occasional snow, is the folks who buy German sports sedans and don’t seem to realize it has summer tires on it.

When I lived in Upstate NY, pick up trucks and (specifically) Cadillac Escalades were in the ditch more often then not.  They’d blow by you on the highway in a white out like they were invincible.
