So. . . NASA is trying to build a Dalek?

You got some self esteem issues if you absoutely have to have the fastest car in any regard. Unless you’re racing competitively, having the best numbers are only useful as bragging rights. That’s not saying that everyone should love slow cars, just that you should drive the car you enjoy driving and ignore the stats.

I am pretty they had to be manually adjusted in the suspension themselves. I read somewhere that Volvo recommends it be done on a lift.

I doubt it’s like that. Remember the old XC90 also did very well in this test, and that was designed before the IIHS made up this test. Volvo has a lot of internal testing as they are trying to make it so that nobody dies in a Volvo from 2020 on. Volvo takes safety serious, not just safety tests. In any case, I think…

Well a 5 series starts at 50k, an E class starts at 52k, and an A6 starts at 47k. So, no. I don’t think you’re right. You’d have to be comparing to a 550i, an E400 (kind of, there needs to be something between E400 and E63 for this to work) and an S6 (also, kind of). And I don’t care what you say, I live in one of the…

Yet another reason to like Ohio... no property taxes on motor vehicles, very low license renewal costs, and gas that’s cheaper than most states

More like Nico Hunkenberg. Amirite?

Oh, my! Thank you, Stef!

I’ve never been more embarrassed to live in Wisconsin.

Your problem is that you’re selling them too quickly. If you worked for a Mitsubishi dealer, you would not have this problem.

sorry, man, you should never change the type of light source in your headlamps. The light “kernel” needs to be in the proper location for it to work effectively with the reflector. If you have halogen headlamps, the only things that should go in there are halogen bulbs. Not LEDs, not HID capsules.

That is astonishingly ugly

“It is the official car for boyfriends pointing it out to their girlfriends when they see it on the street.”

Simple. You realize that transportation is an expense, not an investement, and budget $500 / month for car expenses. You lease a new BMW 3-series, lightly equipped, for less than that with little down.

I like the Passat CC, all of the Volkswagen Golf variants and, for some reason, the Touareg. The Tiguan is weak, though.

Hmm. I’ve heard that before somewhere.

Well I’m sure the reaction to this news will be completely level headed and not at all explosive...

This is actually a very nice truck. I like the look. Better looking than the prev. gen in my opinion, but not as good as the gen before that which debuted in 1998 / 1999. Any mechanical locker option?

One-touch power windows. It’s half a second vs 10-15 seconds of hands off the wheel.
