I’ve always liked the A3. I am legally obligated to say that because I’ve owned 2. I think it’s a a classy small sedan with a nice squishy, simple, modern, interior. As usual with Audi it’s all soft touch but terrible quality. I’d never OWN another but I would absolutely lease one (although these haven’t usually…

More importantly, does anyone know what’s happening with comments here? Why do I have to waste precious few seconds of my extremely busy day doing absolutely fuck all to drag my bloated, heavy, barely functioning, finger across my mousepad to click ‘reload’ in order to view the vitriol and hilarity in the comments.…

I just don’t see how there can be any expectation of a ‘V’ style recovery. Even if there is a big bang and everything magically reopens on May 4th. It’s going to take a while for furloughed workers to pay back some bills and build up some more savings. Consumers are not going to be rushing out to shops/dealerships for…

The Elantra isn’t a bad shout, but it’s the wrong model. What the OP needs is an the GT N-Line. They’re ridiculously cheap and whilst they’re not GTI fun, but are damn reliable and they don’t look as hideous as the sedan.

I stupidly voted CP thinking I’d rather have a brand new Porsche 718 for this price but I checked and they’re at $60k! I stupidly assumed they were in the $40's for some reason and that’s with less power and arguably much less attractive. I still think I’d prefer a cabrio version and I’d be much happier spending the…

It’s going to be interesting watch how these things sell. Ordinarily, I would think the potential buyers of SUV’s in this price bracket are often not impacted by market downturns. This situation however is very different with people from the bottom to the very top taking a hit. It always hits the bottom worse but I…

I know it’s the answer to almost anything but surely, SURELY this over a lot of other things is a prime candidate for an LS swap. SHIRLEY!?

Naaaah, for 650 big ones, I’d prefer a flying spur or the spirit of ecstasy on the front plz.

This is pure Jalopnik joy! Simple. Utilitarian. Manual.

One of the very few benefits of this whole situation is that it’s now totally acceptable to negotiate price/lease with dealerships via email. No longer will every reply be ‘when can you come in’ THANK THE LORD JEEBUS! 

Auto Trader has a couple of used Lexus LS500's cropping up for this budget. Otherwise surely something from Genesis would be a good shout?

I just don’t get the appeal of these things. Okay so with an extremely narrow set of circumstances and a highly modified, expensive sedan you can break the speed limit in over a dozen or so states to prove what exactly? the literal whole point of cross country driving is the joy of the journey. This sounds gruelling…

The figures are still too high. It’s making a big assumption that people with leases expiring will get a new car. I do wonder what the numbers of people with just one lease or two leases in the household and no other financed/owned vehicles. We were seriously considering a leased 2nd vehicle for our 2 person household…

Would it be possible for you to live stream it to YouTube too (or something else) - I’ve no idea how it works but we had a company meeting via Zoom on Monday and once the maximum was reached there was an overflow link so people could watch live via YouTube. It worked well and I would totally tune in to watch.

If I was a product planner, I would be drawing up plans for an EV crossover, same size as CRV/RAV4 with 350 miles of range, available at a price point around the $30-$38k mark. I would also be looking at a 2 or 3 year development cycle to get the thing out asap. There is a lot of buzz around the RAV4 Prime and the…

It’s about $3500 overpriced. Looks like the ad is updated now but my god what a pretty car this is. Long but understated lines, plush looking leather, classic style. Bin the chrome wheels for some normal BMW spindley ones and I’d be down to clown. 

Yeah I can see what you’re saying but i’m still waiting for that Wagon renaissance we were promised! haha. I just think current younger generation are going to be even less interested in cars than millennials and EV/Self driving is going to be more of a thing then but time will tell. 

So basically, all these #vanlife types are either sheltering on land they either own or is owned by their family!? *eye roll* 

Yeah - Autoplay stopper ext for Chrome works well. It’s annoying you have to use it, but here we are.
