Cruise ships. Range anxiety, risk of fire, bad performance when weather changes. These all seem like bad idea when you’re in the middle of the ocean surrounded by sharks. Cruise ships have enough problems with people getting sick and toilets backing up and the occasional flood, (and recently people dying) let’s not

These things are other-worldly stunning IRL. I have yet to see a photo that does them justice.

The design and quality of the LC transcend depreciation. It’s a once in a generation kind of car, IMO. We’ll never see anything like this from Toyota/Lexus ever again once they kill off the 5.0 V8.

Besides the obvious reliability argument, I would argue that it’s a more compelling vehicle than an 8-series, CLS, or other big luxury coupe. These things are truly stunning in person, and the high-revving, great-sounding NA V8 is long gone in all its competitors.

The LC is one of those cars that looks amazing in person. Pictures can’t do it justice. It has significant road presence, an amazing naturally-aspirated V8 and is almost certainly a very comfy place to be.

It’s likely because compared to other luxury brands in its price range, they tend to be more reliable. Or at least perceived reliability compared to it’s German counterparts. I think out of the luxury car makers Lexus has the reputation of being less of a reliability nightmare compared to Audi, BWM or Mercedes.

I’m ridin’ on twelves b*tches.
Am I under-compensating?

Wasn’t it only yesterday when Colin was cut and pasting Consumer Reports article that Mach-Es were going for OVER MSRP and therefore a poor deal?

I hated owning a car with 18" tires. I think 20" is enough for large vehicles. Adding inches to your wheel size doesn’t add inches to your....nevermind.

17" is the sweet spot for me if your car (brakes) allows for it. 16" for 90s cars. 15" for 80s cars

Hot take, anything over 18" is too much.

LOL... how do you feel today, if you bought one of these last  Thursday?

One way Ford is working to fix quality issues, Farley said, is by tying employee bonuses to improved scores.”

Ford you failed at your 1 Job!

Thankfully, there’s a payout from the government to alleviate some of the costs of EV ownership, but it’s costing the taxpayer an awful lot of money.”

How much of that 30K bill do you honestly think is dealer markup”

Battery warranties are a minimum of 8 years, and many manufacturers provide 10 years. That means there is almost no market for out of warranty battery repairs yet. Add to that the number of EVs sold 10 years ago was miniscule relative to the number of cars on the market, there was no standardization (even within

The market will provide them as demand comes. I can get a bunch of different brand laptop batteries for my 8 year old MacBook. Same idea.
