So true. The number of ubers I take with dash lights on (ABS, VSC, SRS) is staggering - get it together people

Oh completely understood, you can’t beat physics, but looked to me like it was just a bit wet as opposed to icy - definitely could of been though

Anyone else notice the a-hole Cayenne driver in the GIF?

Hah, thought the same.

Very interesting - definitely some corporate scrambling going on here.

Nice, that is a screaming deal even with issues, hope you’re enjoying it. There is something about these - I just love it even though it’s temperamental.

1 Month ago - have been looking all over for a Land Rover Discovery Series 2 to make into an adventure toy.

1st - I can certainly understand why, but it seems a bit shortsighted. Myself included in this.. just bought a V8 disco. However -

Not nearly as beautiful as the 911, but functional. Michelin X-Ice’s, center diff lock and a 6 speed manual for fun. Love my Cayenne in the snow.

It all started on a student exchange when a German friend of mine wanted to take the cheap route from Chengdu, China to Jiuzhaigou National Park north of the Sichuan Province. Even though the trip was going to take 9 hours, I trusted his judgement as I consider the Germans to have reasonable expectations of safety and…

I was watching the video, thinking okay - lane change error is very bad but happens in an imperfect driving society. Then the glorious exit ramp understeer occurs. Wow.

Brilliant idea if it can translate into real data Toyota can use. I like it

Also - question for you, I have not tested the towing capability of it but what is your impression? 7700 is a lot for a vehicle of this size and power, thoughts?

That is hilarious you say that. I noticed a grind into 2nd gear in cold weather, took it to the dealer. They drove it, and immediately had a new transmission shipped from Germany to install. They told me they weren’t messing around.

Woah, you too? I picked up a 2013 with the 6 Speed 2 months ago. Even with the base V6, I love it.

Perhaps, but the 400h at the time gave you more power along with around 27mpg (average) mileage. That was a big benefit. As for the batteries going out- I don’t know. All I know is that an x5 or ML of the same vintage would have been dead long before the mileage that we are seeing on the RX.

Hah, no idea. But that’s good to hear about the MDX. I’ve always liked them, beak or not. They handle well and can haul a lot.

My friends make the exact same argument. My thinking though - would you rather be in relatively okay shape or be a vegetable because you didn’t wear a helmet. It makes no sense to me.

And don’t forget, it can DRIFT!

Where was this? I have seen one of those too
