The X3, the crossover version of the 3 Series, still out sells the X7 by over 3 to 1.

I ordered a 2022 X5 xDive45e (the plug-in hybrid) for that reason. It gets ~30 miles of electric range, still gets 20 MPG combined in hybrid mode (worse than the xDrive40i due to the extra weight, but better than many luxury cars), gets a $7,500 tax credit and has a big torque boost due to the electric motor. It comes…

Well, you see, the owners held their thumbs over the license plates while taking pictures, so they are 100% untraceable.

Would be a helluva’ article to read the backstories of how these cars ended up abandoned. Hint, hint.

Agreed. Cadillac would get my money, based on design alone.

As a certified extremely nearsighted person, I took off my glasses and rolled to the end of my office to see if being blind would really improve the looks of the buck-toothed grille. Instead of doing so, it actually smoothed it out into what appeared to be the impression of two buttcheeks in a soft sofa. This made it…

This thing looks like a racist caricature from the 1940s.

Jason, I’m really concerned about how much driving you did in this thing with your vision as impaired as it clearly is.

Not correct. In fact, Kia did plan on selling it here. Lotus disn’t preclude Kia from selling it here. Hyundai did.

But realistically - how often is it going to be loaded up like that vs. commuting solo to the office for most people? Or carting a couple of kids around? You can live with slow a few days a year. I’d rather have the fuel economy and cheaper upfront price the other 360. It’s like AWD - useful a couple days a year here…

I know, right. Ask your mom if 12 inches makes a difference.

I think your internal calibration device is broken. 185 inches is much smaller than 197 (6.5% shorter) [it’s also 4% narrower] , 3800 lbs is much less weight than 4300 lbs (13% less weight) and 27.5 mpg is much better than 23 (19.5% better mileage).

The Outlander is filling the same niche as the Journey. If you need 3 rows and can barely afford a sedan, here’s your car. $26,000 for the base model is a steal. Before anyone mentions getting something much nicer than this on the used market, keep in mind that the Outlander has the same appeal of the Mirage in its…

I’m sure the extra foot of length and 100+hp advantage has nothing to do with the price difference.

came to post the same thing. These are roughly the same size as I (5'9") am roughly the same size as Mark Eaton.

Both SUVs are about the same size (197 inches long for the Kia, 185 for the Mitsubishi

I think the obvious answer is that people are paying too much for a fucking Kia.

The difference between 197 inches and 185 is huge. They aren’t roughly the same size - they are in different classes.

I would pay the $10,000 for the engine and extra foot of legroom/cargo space alone, leaving aside the question of whether Kia gives you more features in the top trim than Mitsubishi does (I suspect they do).

The 300 would like a word with you.
