In fairness, I think it’s notable that the two counter-examples you selected were crossovers and therefore have heavier, taller doors. The handle location was probably determined more by the mathematics of leverage than by laziness.

The computer simulation probably told them it was a 999,999,999 cycle part, falling well short of their target.

Yeah, I can’t think of a car that looks “better” with tinted windows. Murder wagons with illegal all-around tint notwithstanding.

It’s an adjective to describe a car that is large. Is it so large compared to other cars that are also large? Maybe not. But my inclination is to give them a pass.

You could easily stash four people’s rollaboard bags, but if you didn’t have to, you could use the X5’s finally-optional third-row seat which my test car was not equipped with but I’m sure some people will be excited about.

This elephant? Bah! It is minuscule compared to my nuclear submarine.

In fairness, the point is to encourage better collision repair practices, not to draw attention to their iffy reliability.

Oh, sorry. Do you prefer “economically anxious?”

It’s... an observation that these people happen to look alike? I’m not sure where in there you could find something to be so upset over.

Is... this a documentary series chronicling the family life of the Paul Ryan / Ivanka Trump household?

“Tarek?” Like “trek” but not? Did the dealers not revolt enough after “Touareg?”

Ah, thank you! I had suspected something similar. Like Mazda with the “Mazda3,” presumably.

I’m not quite sure the point you’re making? It’s not that the name happens to be “GT,” which as you’ve pointed out is a fairly common designation. The point is that they have the same name.

That paint color really brings out the Ford GT in the new McLaren, which I am realizing now is also called the GT. (As an aside, how did that get past the trademark office?)

I have to say, the Brutalist aesthetic to the interior is really, distractingly awful. Why does it have so many planes?

(We’re literally talking about WWII-era tanks, so...)

Alt-headline: Britain installs symbol of imperial exploitation in instrument of imperial rule.

Giving new meaning to the word “stealership.”

Motor vehicles are also a necessity for a lot of Americans. And no, no one is going broke for $5. But $5 is a lot of money if you’re broke.
