Rebranded German 2-row car with questionable reliability and not easy to load people in the back? I couldn’t take someone seriously if they bought oone unless they were a fellow wagon aficionado who is legally required to buy gm.

There are 3 CarMax locations in the St. Louis, MO area (I know this because I’m a frequent visitor to the closest one to my house). They have/had a current-body XC90 on their lot earlier this month when I was there, and it was well under $40K. With their MaxCare plan, that (or similar) car would be under $50K. You…

I’d rather have a Mitsubishi than a comparable gm vehicle. Longer warranty, and smaller customer base so potential trips to the dealer should go faster. I’d get Mitsubishi before Nissan, too, in fact.

I suspect Fancy Kristen is right up there with the Tunts. They don’t stoop to just private railcars, they own the whole railroad. Their exotic pets (like, say, an ocelot) have their own private cars. 

I’ll grant that the first-generation Windstars were fairly bland - they already looked partly melted thanks to Ford’s oval-inspired designs - but were at least distinct in their blandness. They were also among the last of the minivans to introduce a 2nd row door despite being one of the newest on the market. However…

Should read “a symmetrical” not “asymmetrical”. Trying to edit during the open window.

It’s possible, since the lines and houses are so intermingled, and the families themselves have their own private lands and houses not owned by the crown/ruling monarch(s).

Better than if on a unicycle, but not as well as if in a Volvo.

Door jambs, rear floor, inside of the tailgate, and underside of the hood are white, not black.

I actually like this. It’s like the Excursion’s excellent “Dutch-style” rear doors without the glass liftgate. Find a way to integrate Ford’s tailgate step and GM’s integrated bumper step (the new one that can actually fot a steel-toed boot), and all the best rear bed access options will be covered on one vehicle.

AWD, so you’d need a flatbed.

I believe this is a performance tier down from the actual SVR models, and the Autobiography moniker indicates it’s the most luxurious version of the specific model. 

I’ve seen a mix of owners. Most that I’ve seen have been the upper-middle class type who have a big house but also have to park in a lot, and the regular Range Rover has gotten too large to be as practical as it used to be. For some owners, it’s a style statement, much like the Evoque, but better executed, even better…

Now you’ve made me sad that there’s unlikely to be a next-generation Flex. I’m glad the Explorer has gone back to being RWD-based, but the Flex was a nice compromise between crossover and Taurus Wagon. The power-stowing 3rd row is/was a nice party piece that may not be physically possible in a RWD-based vehicle. Plus…

Well, I’m sold. The Velar is handsome in in pictures, and even more striking in person. Thar’s both inside and out. Heck, on the outside it even makes the regular Range Rover and RR Sport seem almost dowdy and oversized (especially when parked near each other).

You may be interested in the Ferd F-TeenThousand then.

Torque figures for the updated PowerStroke aren’t released yet.

The Big 3 deliberately lump in 250/2500+ sales in with the volume 150/1500 models to make overall sales figures look better. That’s why you’ll hear “F-Series is number one in sales for over 40 years” or “Silverado has the most bed volume of any truck” (or however they say it).

My brother has the 6.2L in his owned work truck. It’s only insufficient for what he does no more than about 30-40% of the time (mostly when towing a skid steer or moving a bed and trailer full of material), but the 6.7L is overkill for his specific needs. The new 7.3L might just be the ticket to get him to buy a new…

I’ve seen single-cab 6-foot-class beds, at least on the last-gen Super Duty. I think those are also the payload rating champs since the bed is lighter and a shorter so stiffer frame.
