You said the closest approximation is a camry, and then proceeded to explain how the car is different from the camry in almost every way that matters. I think a more appropriate comparison is the VW Arteon. Both liftback sedans, similar msrps, similarly both are the premium end of a “budget brand”.

But honestly I love…

Probably says more about CarFax than the car though.

This is a GT-Line, which is extremely different than the GT given that it is only available with 4-cyl power vs. the GT’s V6. GT-Line and GT are not remotely interchangeable terms and you should really go back and edit the title and mentions of the name in the article, as it’s extremely confusing. You got it right in…

I would, but I don’t want 4 hits on my credit just to take the test drives...

@1st gear: that’s one of the dumbest takes on Morning Shift in...I guess a few days. The Hongguang Mini isn’t even close to the Tesla Model 3 in terms of capability nor price. So the big news is that a small EV that wouldn’t be road-legal in many countries including the US, sells for about 1/10th the price of a Model…

Too bad you have to go to a Kia dealership to buy it, an experience that—nine times out of ten—will leave you feeling so frustrated and abused, you’ll run straight to the nearest Audi dealer for a considerably costlier A/S5 Sportback, or to the BMW dealer for a considerably uglier 430i/M440i Gran Coupe.

Bumpers that actually allow you to “bump” stuff without inflicting $3k+ in damage.

Colors. Actual colors.

A spare tire standard. That goop stuff is the standard in most cars now and you then have to buy a spare tire kit. There’s generally space for both, but they are only doing that to cut a little bit of weight and cost. Today’s public announcement, be sure to check your rental for a real spare too, as they too will skip…

Rain gutters. Even if you don't smoke (yuck) some people like to crack the windows. Can't do it without a constant stream of water coming in. 

Cheap and easily replaceable round headlights.

I know I’m not going to blow anyone’s mind with this crazy twist, but turns out our good buddy Paresh here barely posts and last time they did it was because they had dOnE tHeIr OwN rEsEaRcH on the Covid vaccines and had come to some pretty fascinating conclusions

Let’s take this bit by bit:

“[T]hey are the true ‘Blue-Chip’ leaders of P2E NFT-gaming in the Metaverse” is among the absolute funniest things I’ve ever read in my life

“2 People were in a room working my life investment.”

Seems like you probably shouldn’t have blown it all on crypto then, loser.

can’t wait for this scam to disappear. 

As long as it fits into the game and isnt annoying or removes me from the experience, I dont care.

Tip is the delivery fee, and I’m not paying it twice

It’s awful.

If a restaurant actually offers their own delivery service (pizza and Chinese are the big two around me), I’ll gladly take advantage of the service and tip the guy cash when he shows up.

Being a coupe already makes it rare, having the 3.0 with the sportline suspension and a stick makes it super rare.  ND because basic maintenance and these run forever.
