Yeah... That should be cheap maintenance. 

The 350Z looked good at its debut. It hasn’t aged well, particularly inside where Nissan packed it full of leftover metal-looking plastic that Aiwa and Audiovox used on all their boomboxes. The inside of a 350Z was an awful place to be if you weren’t driving.

Could’ve placed a period right after "good". 

If all the names have a “Q” and a “0", then those characters mean nothing. Like in math, just simplify it. Make it the Infiniti 5, 6, and 7. For the soft-roaders, add the X somewhere to designate it as a ute. The QX50 would become X5, which creates problems elsewhere. Same for other Infiniti CUVs. Such is the problem…

That’s cool. As an aside... Anyone else still wonder which one the “Q60" is when they see the name? It’s been a couple of years since the changeover, and I still can’t get the naming convention straight. What a misstep.

No, thank you.

Point of order...

No, you wouldn’t answer that question. Not one damn person would ask about your Murano.

I don't think it's the appearance of the Tiguan's interior that offends, but the feel of it. It feels like it was spec'd for rental fleets. Surfaces feel like they're designed to be wiped down between renters. It's not VW's best effort.

Not competing with each other. Those are no more comparable than saying “Corolla or 3 Series?” The Lincoln pricing starts near where the Telluride maxes out.

Define "better".

I’m not sure how long “long term” is, but the interior of my ‘13 Santa Fe Sport has held up very well. Mine is equivalent to today’s Ultimate. I have a FWD, 2.4L with all the options available back then (e.g. leather, navigation, heated steering wheel, panoramic roof, even a receiver hitch.) I shopped it against the…

Wut?

That cutaway model is probably just as aerodynamic as the enclosed production model.

You seem to look at cars as appliances. They’re a mode of transportation, and they serve no other function. By that standard, any vehicle that operates trouble-free and moves its occupants/cargo as needed will suffice. Essentially, there’s no room for subjectivity. Meanwhile...here among auto enthusiasts... The Versa…

Which rental company was renting out a not-available-in-the-US VR-4 in 1999?

$90K?! That’s hilarious!

So much....color! It's GLORIOUS! No silver or black or white. Imagine if that spread!
