The face of a Ford Puma and the interior of a Jeep Wagoneer...I’m sure it drives great but the platform-mate Stelvio looks 100% better inside and out.

Was going to say something similar for Horbury’s V70. That thing has not aged a day since release almost 25 years ago.

Stellantis will Stellantis, huh. Can’t wait for the Chrysler-badged Ami.

Is the GM 3.6 V6 no longer a piece of crap? That’s historically been the main reason to avoid the Traverse and any of its Lambda cousins. 

Whatever. Never intended to buy a BMW anyway, just not my type of car, but at least I respected them. No longer. 

I mean, I agree that the ‘club’ vibe is crass and the idea of it being something ‘special’ went out the window as soon as it stopped being for businesses only, but it’s about as consumer-friendly as big-box retailers come, and the long lines aren’t there anymore with self-checkout (though to be fair I only go after 7…

I’m taking ‘trails’ to mean a minimum of some ground clearance with no special traction requirements or water crossings. Any mid-2000s Korean crossover with the port-injected Sigma, Delta, or Lambda V6 should be decently reliable and not subject to the ‘Toyota’ or ‘Honda’ tax.

the Model 3

Any manufacturer, EV or otherwise, that does the ‘0-10' numbering scheme in order of release and not size or market placement. I’m looking at you Polestar.

‘Lumina’ -- it looks like a modernized APV anyway

Sounds like a backronym to me. Someone just liked the idea of ‘Vinamese-fast!’

I wonder how many years of calling it the ‘beez forks’ will get Toyota to change it. Not like they want to make EVs anyway, maybe there will be a hydrogen ‘Toyota H7ZQA’ by 2030.

The E60 was a secret peak. It might have been controversial, but it has aged so well and shows the design intent of Bangle’s team and vision: subtly muscular, but also feminine and delicate.

C’mon, an entire comments section and no Honda ads?

God, it was a great ad until the ugly little W203 showed up. 

How is this a surprise again? If you live near the border in the U.S. you regularly see convoys of bumperless, slightly dog-eared cars towing each other toward Mexico to be reconditioned as perfectly viable used transport; it’s hardly just an African thing.

To be fair, that still seems like a lot for Mr. “I won’t put my cars in video games because that counts as advertising” Musk.

Escaladiq?

Crikey, it’s already hideous. I don’t need to see any more, thanks.
