Someone paid at least half a million for that hideous thing. GM is stupid not to try and break into that (extremely lucrative) market. Also they’ve demonstrated an ability to make SUVs that look pretty good. I think the new Blazer actually looks really nice.

I didn’t even realize they were doing this, but it is definitely confusing and didn’t need to happen in the first place.

Hot take: Corvette should have been spun off as a separate brand years ago, and they should’ve made an SUV to compete with the Urus and such. Basically make a Trailblazer SS successor with a nicer interior and C8-like styling for under $100k.

Shockingly this is in the right ballpark of what these go for in this good of shape (low miles and well maintained). It is interesting how a “cheap” Phantom is like 70-80k now, but the Bentley Continental has depreciated down to basically nothing. It seems these really do have a lot of lasting appeal.

350Z/370Z Nismo are way cheaper than they should be, and I’m pretty sure it’s only because they never stopped making the car. Those had much of the same treatments as the Civic R of the same era, but you can find a ratty one in the teens or get a nice one in the low 20s. If it had a Honda or Toyota badge for the same…

Considering the Supra is about to get axed in a couple years I’d argue the manual one fits all three (and sort of 4 because it was also unloved at launch). Last year the manual take rate was 65% but it was still only 1700 cars. I would bet the total production run will be relatively tiny for a normal production car…

I had the same thought. For reference on weight savings, I have pulled a ton of weight out of my S2000 track car. AC delete saved more than 33lb, single-exit exhaust saved about that much, and pulling the convertible top and adding a hardtop saved about 40lb. It is shocking that thousands of dollars of carbon fiber…

You aren’t the only one - despite this site constantly hating on BMW’s design language, they have had record sales years back to back since its debut. Personally I really like these, and I think the big kidneys look better on the iX than anything else in their lineup.

Agreed. They had to penalize him here to get ahead of this. If they didn’t do that and showed that they don’t really care, we would start seeing more behavior like this and that opens up a real possibility for danger.

$110k is a tough value proposition when a Cayman GTS 4.0 starts at less, or a 911 Carrera T starts at slightly more. The real hero of this segment was the S550 Mach 1 at the end of the production run, where it got all the brakes/aero/suspension from the GT500 but with a good 6-speed and without the blower.

The glovebox beer cooler fridge (aka the DUI compartment) found in late-00s Dodge products. Definitely not a “perfect” feature or really even a good one, but hilarious that the cars with the highest DUI rate came with a chilled cupholder you could use to keep your beer cold (and hidden from police) while drinking and…

My wife and I test drove one last week and man, I really did not like it. The seats are some of the worst I’ve ever been in, materials are bad, screen layout is unintuitive, ride quality and road noise were not good, and the one-pedal driving way too aggressive. The most concerning part about the latter was that you…

Was this really an awful car though? Ignoring the fact that they’ve been retconned as ironically cool and ahead of their time, at the core of it these were really just a mediocre GM product similar to everything else they were making at the time. The Buick Rendezvous was the same car underneath and that was downright…

Funny enough, the Chevy version actually looks pretty good. Interesting when the upscale one looks worse than the cheaper version.

My wife and I are getting her a GV60 for generally the same reason

Agreed, voted ND because the owner is cringe. These cars aren’t rare and this isn’t a special price. You can get a base Cayman for 15-20k all day from someone who isn’t an annoying boomer

ND because this is from arguably the worst years for Dodge/Jeep products and this thing is an absolute tin can of crap. The interior and build quality on these things was an insult to their customers - it’s like they had a bet going on how shitty they could make their cars before people would stop buying them.

So they are trying to kickstart a modern, upscale, luxury brand by using the name from a weird car from the 60s that the majority of people probably have never seen in person. It’s a bold strategy, cotton.

Good insight! Happy to hear from someone with experience in this space to confirm I am not talking out of my ass here lol. 

Very cool, love to see this kind of thing. It’s worth noting that, while importers in the US try to sell Kei trucks for like $5-20k depending on condition, these things are basically free in Japan. Totally makes sense a bunch of students could grab parts off several for little money and piece something together out of…
