I just don’t understand why no one will sell me a two-door sedan! 😠

I know this is meant as context, but it comes off as a hilarious backhanded insult:

It’s certainly more eye-catching. In Scottsdale or Los Gatos I don’t look twice when an Aston passes—they all look basically the same anyway.

I mean, it seems like visually even the Milano’s front doors are shared with the 600e (same upward crease through the door handle), albeit with trim differences. Not that it matters since the e208 is of course on the same platform as all of these anyway.

You mean to say, 2008 is 2008 is 2008 is 2008

Yeah, $600k was probably a bit optimistic. $1 mil+ is where you finally get a decent Class A, but you still have to choose carefully. At the end of the day it’s not a terribly regulated market so it’s easy to get ripped off if you’re not aware of what components are good and which aren’t.  

a new 31 speaker Bang and Olufsen stereo that’s only available on the MDX Type S, though it is standard there.

I think it to be hideous as well, but there is a pedestrian safety aspect to the design, at least that is what I remember from about a decade ago when the pedestrian safety requirements in EU were updated.

I think people underestimate how expensive building a proper RV is. I’ve heard it said, think of it as buying a whole house as well as a good truck. If you want quality, you have to be spending close to $200k on a Class C and over $600k on a Class A. Or $200k on an Airstream.

Yeah but then you have to look at it and realize you could have just bought an 8th gen Civic instead...

Well maybe not a hybrid Volkswagen...

California is a different country1!!!1111!

Followed pretty closely by the Accord and Camry lol

Indeed, a good driver assist system (which let’s not forget, that’s all these are) will let you defocus on the pertinent activity of monitoring your driving habits in return for being able to keep an eye on how the car reacts to vehicles around you and the overall road conditions. As my uncle who drives a SPA Volvo…

Styling-wise there are some differences, but they sit on the same platform and share the fuel-cell powertrain though the Crown gets a few hybrid options that the Mirai obviously doesn’t.

But the Lexus CT wasn’t that bad...

TIL the narrowbody E160 Corolla is still in production for the JDM (fleet only, which is presumably how Mitsuoka sources theirs).

That’s the problem with most ‘influencer’ car reviewers—even the famous and revered Doug falls prey to these foibles all the time. It’s why I only watch ‘corporate’ review channels like Chasing Cars, Cargurus.uk, and KBB since even though they’re formulaic and somewhat dry, they’re informative and usually as unbiased…

Considering Legoland has had full EV carts (Volvo-badged, even) in a trackless area with full driver control for decades now, even as a kid Disneyland’s Autopia always seemed hilariously outdated.
