Toyota:  We’re gonna tease you with what you want, but good fucking luck ever being able to buy it from us.

Yup.  That’s how literally any person who isn’t insanely rich would be treated.  There’s no reason Musk should get different treatment.  

Judge ought to have issued a bench warrant on the spot.

This one has that signature deep trunk you only see in minivans, so it’s an SUV with a function of a minivan. It’s more functional than the ID Buzz. 

Love it! There’s no better general-purpose luxury sedan than the Air, and this will be the same for 3-row SUVs.

I wish it was. But that would make it too sensible and it wouldn't sell. 

I think it looks better in this picture. The one Andy used makes it seem like a blob.

And they clean the car. I’m almost certain they used to brim the tank up until around 2010.

People actually look forward to going to the Lexus dealership like it’s a special day. I know I would pay a lot more to not have Toyota service department visits.

Didn’t Saturn also start out as no-haggle pricing?

The Nissan Altima. Not because of anything that’s the car’s fault as it’s a perfectly serviceable car...

GM’s Diesel sedans from the 1980s.  Also, GM’s 4-6-8 V-8s and their boat anchor, the Iron Duke 4-cylinder engine.  Both of those made any vehicle pretty bad to own or drive.

Gotta be the Vega. While the Mustang II featured in the article was awful, the Vega took it to a whole other level. Prematurely rusted, drank oil like a 2-stroke, had this stupid sealed air cleaner...

My GF was super excited about this and was ready to put a deposit down on one once it was released, but yeah...the price and range are the first of a series of big nopes and she’s almost totally soured on this vehicle. 

If this is what half the price gets you, I’d rather pay the full price, cause lord knows what that looks like underneath, not to mention they couldn’t even be bothered to marginally clean the car. If they don’t care, I probably don’t either.

It would take you $5K to get that one to the condition this one is in.  It’s quite rusty so you need to do bodywork and paint, tons of detailing needed.

These have nothing to do with Rivian

Agreed. They nailed it. I no longer want a Rivian.

100% this. We own a 2018 Pacific plug in hybrid and have been eagerly anticipating this as a replacement (for what seems like a decade). Like the exterior and interior design, but utterly disappointed at the fit and finish of the interior, the poor range and the astronomical price. This will not sell well after the…

Until you sit in the Wagoneer.  That plastic trim is ass.
