I never saw grilles as design elements, just functionally required for cooling. New BMWs have grille shutters that close for aerodynamics when cooling isn’t needed. Make a statement by eliminating grilles instead tacking on huge, black, plastic slats.

Does it have anything to do with high repair costs? Something that runs can hardly be found costing less than $10k?  Or are there market forces like demand driving up prices?

Little black car wants to play, but the little white car doesn’t.

Turbo badge always good for a few seconds.

Were hand gestures made as he drove by?

Yeah, with all the tech available today, where is active suspension?

Red light cameras are a grab, shortening yellows and causing more rear end crashes. They only tag cars making right turns, the simplest and safest turn that can be made. Red light cameras do not catch cars plowing straight through the intersection.  Why?

Until these driver assist features are perfected, warnings that can be turned off will do.

Very sad.

50% off of extreme mark up. Must have been raining at closing time on the last day of the month when they were 1 car sale short of winning a sales contest. “Shrewd negotiator” as Ed Bolian would say.

Great.  They were sucking up development resources.

I read somewhere China is developing hypersonic yaks.

Cruise control is bad for motorists in general. It promotes inattentiveness, loitering in the left lane, abrupt lane changes, and the stop and go feature leaves huge gaps on capacity constrained highways.

Uninspiring and could use some more hp. Cadillac shouldn’t go down market - make it for cheap, sell it for cheap. They have to go back to value because they can’t command the margins like BMW and Mercedes can. They need to carve out a niche - reliable, luxury, great infotainment, performance, but with a comfortable…

Why can’t we mechanic or repair shop ratings site?  Transparency always cleans things up.  As for the chains, stay away from Jiffy Lube.  Satisfactory job at best, always upselling.  Midas - you and your family will get killed if you don’t get X done.  Discount Tire - decent service as they follow set procedures. …

Yes, horrible ride, bent wheels, flats or destroyed tires well before tread is worn.  60 series tires is the lowest I would go.

These sharing services are scams.  It doesn’t matter if they’re profitable, as long they suck in investor money.  The principles get nice paychecks and really make a killing if the company goes public.  

Cheapest, fastest solution may or may not be teaching people to drive, obey rules, be a little selfless.  Since so many people are resistant, it may never happen and any cost would be astronomical.

$400?!  My kid doesn’t have that kind of money.

1) Any new advancements with xDrive? It’s one of the better AWD systems, but has BMW improved on it?
