TL;DR - Everyone involved is dirty but there weren’t any deepfakes involved.

Wait....first you say this:

Can’t believe we’re even talking about this.

Going to have to say it, Classic SAAB 900 Turbo.
Double wishbone suspension and “passive rear steering”, equal length front axles so minimal torque steer and impressive handling for a FWD car. And just look at it:

Whoa the price of that Pathfinder you can get the same year model GX460 and it will be infinitely better in every single aspect of everything ever.

The Traverse is good. I haven’t driven the new Pilot but I sat in it at the NY auto show and I would definitely still choose the Traverse over it. The seats are way more comfortable and the layout is a lot more user-friendly than the wacky UI in the Pilot. The one knock on the Traverse is the suspension is tuned much…

$36k for a 7 year old car that was $42k or so new?  With a tune?  No thanks. 

Unfortunately, or fortunately, I think the biggest problem is that the biggest downside is inherently tied to the biggest upside: these methods make the market much more efficient.

You see more agitated behavior because of all of the cameras. Not despite all the cameras

I’ve noticed that kids don’t really pay attention to traffic while they are passengers any more. Every second they are in the car, they are on their phones. After 15 years, suddenly they are expected to understand the patterns in traffic, when to be cautious, what to look out for, and they don’t have any experience to…

There is a whole mountain of nuance to this, but yes, part of parenting is forcing kids to do things they don’t want to do when you firmly believe it will benefit them in their development to becoming functional adults. Nearly every parent forces their kids to do something almost every day. Eating vegetables, putting…

It’s going to be interesting to see how Zoomers and Alphas act when they get bigger into voting.

Both my kids got there license before they were 17. Critical if they were going to make it to all the activities that are part of the high school years.

I’m sure featherlite’s point was regarding engine configuration.  BMW does not make V6s.

I wonder how many people here complaining about Jeep and Chrysler reliability have owned one recently? My 2014 Grand Cherokee Summit has 117k miles now, owned since 5k. It went to the dealer once for a rocker repair, only from an odd noise, not an actual malfunction. Other than a few pesky leaks here and there, it’s…

Uhhhhh no. Sources: me a dealer with about 20% inventory on the ground that we had pre pandemic, me a dealer that drives past other stores and sees lots roughly 10-30% full, my owner’s Toyota store that has maybe 20 cars in stock compared to 400+ pre-pandemic.
