It could also be as simple as “You have seven barrels? ‘Scuse me while I whip this out....”

I have owned a BMW V8. If that’s an “improvement”, just how the hell bad are the Jag motors?

As a father of two I can say with confidence and conviction that anyone suggesting a two-door for this job has no idea what they are talking about. Getting a kid into a rear-facing child seat (kids are safest in a rear-facing seat) in a two-door car is way, way more difficult. You might say to youself that it’s OK on…

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that this probably requires premium gas, negating some of the savings of having a four banger.

It looks like a CX9 and a Durango got together and made giant crossover babies.

Seconded. I loved reading this entire article except for that repeated error. (waiting for pics to load was annoying but worth the wait).  And the final total.  That’s the type of number that leaves me emotionally unprepared for another German car.

One day, at BMW design studios....

As a male, I believe that the antenna is AT LEAST 31 inches.

For the guy with the Cayman, why not just try to get it running? Throw a battery in there, and give it a shot. Sure you can’t easily access the engine on one of these cars, but if it was brought back to life once, I’ll bet it will run again.

BMWs. I had a 540i6 for a few years and the damn thing nearly ate me alive. Yeah it was 10 years old when I biught it but still.....Many of their other models have similar issues (cooling system, window regulators, sunroof problems, weird electrical issues, bad gaskets, etc. and so forth).

“Then they went completely off the rails on meth for a decade and a half.” 

Long ago in days of yore, I had one day off, just one, from my job at Footlocker to go to Toronto to see their first NBA draft. I was stoked. I drove to Toronto, about four to four and a half hours away, and made it just after lunch to meet up with a friend who was going to go with me.

What in the blue fuck is she talking about?

They could call it the Subeerban.

This would be a fun NP at $3K. The hub covers could be fixed by buying a used set of baller rims and putting them on. Put in a blutooth stereo, swap in the engine (including the a/c compressor) and transmission out of a wrecked Chevy truck. You could have a lot of fun with something like this one the cheap with some…

Panther cupholders will hold a litre o’cola,,,,

Ahh, nothing drives like a car that is engineered to drive on the Autobahn and have its window regulators fail at 179 mph...

Or a Kia Stinger.  Sure looks better.

I kind of follow the logic of the formwer Corvette engineer who thought it was a bad idea because the Corvette was an insanely fast car that handled really well WITHOUT going mid-engine, so why do it?
