This is always the biggest fear when new taxes are proposed. How to make sure the money goes where it needs to go without creating an entirely new state office to go along with it that has high costs and overhead.

No SUV needed, and not requested.

Destination is included and costs $1,095. Actual MSRP is lower at $58,900. Other sites are reporting this is the case.

I saw a 2019 5 series plug in (530e w/ M Sport pkg) last week. Nice wheels and blue calipers, looked great and way better in person than on the web. After seeing a few newer style 3 series out in CA on a recent trip, I bet this looks pretty good too.

That’s right, the old “bitch basket”. Not sure you can say that anymore though but that is what they were called back in the day.

Spreading Christian values doesn’t really sound that bad, (ignoring the one or two things that most people are upset about). I certainly think he is mostly wrong on those items as well.

I dunno. Do parents feed their kids this stuff? My kids have never been to a fast food place. I know, N of 1, but still, most parents I know wouldn’t get their kids fast food in the first place.

Well, if you read the post, 50% of it was about pedestrian safety.  People will still be focused on getting that first bite vs people walking nearby.

I am with you guys as well. I have posted similar before. Most cars from the 30's, 40's and 50's were just as tall as any regular crossover today and had tons of headroom and space.

There is nothing like the punch of the Boston accent in your face when you return back home into Logan (BOS) and hear Mayor Marty Walsh talking about the city of Boston, or years ago, Mayor Menino. Brings your head right back into home mode no matter how long you have been gone.

The one reason I skipped the hybrid and went for the plug in was that even though the MSRP was more, the discounts were better, the car was on the lot for almost a year. Add in the $4,919 federal and $1,500 state credit and it was cheaper than both the hybrid and the base engine model (all models loaded with ultimate…

And to add to your good take, hybrids are also cheaper to run in places where electricity is more expensive than the national average, like most of the northeast.

That was the story when I sold back my TDI. Took that money and bought a $38.5 MSRP Sonata PHEV Limited. After all discounts, rebates, federal and state EV credits, I paid $24k. Not bad for a fully loaded PHEV that can actually fit me (6'4”) and 3 other full size people or kids in car seats.

The thing is, Bolts are the cheap option.

I think only certain BMWs charge for it.

It is the same thing that happened with the 2016 election. Everybody seems to think the small sampling that people love to comment on is fully representative of the population.

I am driving a new Altima right now, rental on the west coast as of this morning. I believe it is an SL FWD based on the features. Only drove about 25 miles but have already played around with the infotainment, Android Auto, and the safety suite. I already turned off the steering assist, but might try it out again for…

You can only pull off one of these wagons as a family man if you are shorter than average. Lack of rear legroom made it a no go for me when they bought back my Passat TDI.

Curious to see this in person. The Kia and Hyundai are priced very competitively and while many publications and blogs say they are big, the Kia does not look big at all on the road.

Not a terrible idea but there are only a few large mid-size cars that might even come close to fitting a 6'7" person and someone behind them and for mainstream cars that means at least looking after 2012 for Passats and Sonatas. Accord, Camry, Malibu, Fusion, 6, etc come in next for real world space. He can fit 2…
