Subaru interiors are depressing as hell and the seats are mad uncomfortable. No offense meant to them because I love Subarus, but I’ll stick to the higher maintenance costs to be able to sit my prissy ass in Volvo seats all day every day while enjoying a bit of wood trim.

Huh, ok.

The H2, on the other hand, has seen it’s used market value go up in recent years, along with a lot of other older SUVs/Off roaders.

I’m talking about the timing belt, not the CVT belt. 

Isn’t it a wet-belt motor? Still don’t like the chances on those. 

No, it will still be made fun of. No one says the Hummer H3T is nostalgic.

My point is that as someone who would only use this data to buy a used car, telling me a 2018 Tacoma is apparently a reliability nightmare compared to a 2019 based on two nebulous problem areas like ‘brakes’ or ‘transmission minor’ is arguably not helpful at all and won’t tell me the actual rate of those problems or…

My favorite is when they vacillate between ‘good’ and ‘worst’, because apparently the 2019 3er will spontaneously cease to work at any point while the 2018 and 2017 will be as reliable as a Camry. Or get a 4er as it’s apparently the most reliable a car can get.

when it was still a sub-brand of Citroën

Consumer Reports loves to drop these kind of bombshell ‘facts and figures’ while being incredibly myopic on what actually goes wrong and what you’re actually spending money on. I’ve genuinely stopped trusting them once Mini ranked as a more reliable brand than Honda or Mazda—regardless of improvements to BMW engines I…

Oh good, an even uglier Peugeot 408.

At a guess, you can probably get cheaper generic/non-OEM replacement parts for American brands?

I think by that he meant ‘perpetually ugly’. I hope.

I mean, blame CAFE if you really want to point fingers. 

Citroën as a Dacia-level budget brand. I get that the cheapness of the 2CV is core to Citroën DNA and that DS is the ‘luxe’ brand now, but to forcefully remove the DS and SM from Citroën history and call them ‘DS’s while the modern Citroën lineup looks like this....well, it kind of hurts.

Saddest part is that the FWD Impala SSs were faster than the B-Body SS since they were lighter.

I prefer the smell of cigarettes to weed,

People in Europe didn’t buy into the hype nearly as hard, so Ford still sells actual cars there.

Just go with it. The more of these that get made, the likelier it will be that a true wagon will resurface by 2030. The Blazer EV is already 80% of the way there.

And instead of buying a Range Rover, X7, Escalade, GLS or QX80
