Do my eyes deceive me, or does this wagon also have the mythical rear-facing third-row? 7-passenger seating capacity in something that is inarguably a car? A car which runs and costs only $1200? NP.

I honestly don't think any other car sounds better. I'd die just to have one drive by me at part-throttle.

I remember seeing a Crayola-orange Rio by the waterpark in Hangang Park when I was there. In truth, all of the colorful cars I saw were pretty bright—orange, yellow, pink, neon green. Not that there were a lot of them.

Two things: first of all, the infamous Rodius was actually designed by a British guy (although yes, you'd hope they'd have the sense to bin the design irrespective of anything else), and second, it's been redesigned.

Indeed, I do.

In a perfect world, I’d like to imagine that the wealth that often comes with being a business person would afford you the chance to drive whatever the hell you wanted (if you care at all).

If I had to guess why it’s so bland—the totally dispassionate upper management of Hyundai/Kia aside—I’d say it’s probably because Korea’s rich people, like the vast majority of rich people everywhere, are very boring, and want at best what everyone else has, but in absence of that, they want what at least some other…

...Is seaux fauncay not the point of luxury? I mean, the "1st Edition" Bentley Bentayga comes with a Breitling watch for crap's sake. Luxury has always been ~50% about, "look how big and shiny my penis is", and by that standard, flying a bunch of automobile bodies across the ocean on one of the best passenger planes…

Agreed, but hell, where even is the liftback? The trunk lid on this is even more comically short than on the sedan. Gonna be doin' squats just to put stuff in there.

Either?

Then why are you wasting your time and energy defending the willfully-lowbrow aspects of the South?

Well, maybe if we Yanks weren’t...I don’t know...better in basically every quantifiable way, or probably more to the point, if y’all didn’t make such a big fuss about how “unique” and “special” your culture is, it wouldn’t be so prone to stereotyping and exaggeration?

Thanks, man; I hate getting idioms wrong. Makes me look like a real idiom.

...Where’s that thing that said most BMW drivers didn’t know that their vehicles were RWD?

Well, I don’t think “don’t sell more than 1,000 globally” is going to appeal to most automobile manufacturers as a way to skirt emissions requirements.

Well, there’s objective superiority and subjective superiority. If you’d like to get into a debate about the merits of quantitative (objective) and qualitative (subjective) reasoning and vice versa, that’s fine. But calling something trash is fundamentally a subjective comment. Trash is something that’s genuinely…

This thing sounds 90% like a Ferrari 458, for obvious mechanical reasons. This is a great thing for the Toyota, and a terrible thing for the Ferrari, the sound of which I just don’t get the appeal of.

Honestly, I like the (pre-refresh) QX56's front-end. You rarely see the kind of curvature it features around the upper portions of its grille and headlights, and as is the case with the Juke, I find myself appreciating it for its brazen unattractiveness. Instead of trying to fit car-like styling onto a truck chassis,…

If by individualist you mean individualist, then either. If by individualist you mean “individualist”, then neither. Individualists are more concerned with the way they interpret the world than how the world interprets them.

I believe they call this “individualism” and “atomization”. “Your [meaning, identity with which I don’t identify] feelings” don’t matter as much as “my [meaning identity with which I do identify] feelings” because you’re not me, and I matter more than anyone else. The progressive veil is just one worn to deflect…
