Because we don't get things like the Golf R wagon, BMW wagons (except the 328d, no manual), Ford wagons....ANY WAGONS that are made for Europe that retain the driving dynamics of a car while giving you the space of more than a car.

This has existed for a while, we bitch about the ones that aren't here yet. Also, I know many people who have them, my neighbor included.

78k is a loooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg way away from 1,000,000. But, I'm glad it felt that way :)

Sounds like heaven

The seats are comfortable and supple yet supportive, and the rear seats are too, with a decent amount of leg room and headroom. Why do you want a crossover, again?

From what you can see in the first picture, the lower grill on the Malibu looks horrendous. everything above that looks decent. It's like the opposite of Paper Bag Syndrome

"Don't you think silver is a bit too "high school"?"

Nah, just saying that this QX30 will be a stylistic upgrade for you :)

Unfortunately, I think Pat's other choices have to be eliminated. The Challenger is cool, but after about four days of folding the front seats forward to stick your kids in the back, I suspect you'd be willing to trade it out for any other vehicle, including a Charger, a minivan, a tandem bicycle, a Razor scooter…

Wait, Hummer dealers are still a thing that exists?

It's like if you went to an abandoned house to find an abused and abandoned puppy on the brink of death so you could drive over it with a Hummer.

And then there was another logistical problem we had to overcome: after watching a series of videos on the topic, all created by men who had consumed approximately six Busch Lights, it became very clear that crushing just one vehicle simply wouldn't work. If we went up with only one wheel, the Hummer would roll over.…

You already stated probably all of the top reasons, so why ask? Time is limited, enthusiasm is not the same for everyone. Some people are enthusiastic about driving interesting cars, not necessarily about working on them. This happens with all hobbies.

This should be the top pick simply because of the ending. Good for you!

Have you seen the outside of your EX yet?

If you like oddball cars, then you have to love the M coupe. Its like the dog that nobody wants because he is scraggly but he can do some of the coolest tricks you've ever seen.

You're right though, coming from a BMW enthusiast who loves the M coupe. This car is ugly to some. Part of the mystique is why they made such a car in the first place. Another part is that once you look past the clown shoe form, you start to the impossibly large rear tires, the bulging fender flares, and the better…

Yep, a really neat effect of being able to see absolutely nothing from the rear corners.

This is quite an upgrade from the EX model, though the bar was not high.
