I absolutely fucking love this thing. The two tone bright red to neutral grey with the hard top is just beautiful.

My wife always makes me chauffeur when we take her car. It’s second nature to get the seat and mirrors to where they need to be, I don’t mind that, but, the door pockets, cup holders, passenger footwell, and cubbies are all trash cans and it doesn’t take long after a professional detail for the car to start smelling…

Memory seats and memory mirrors handle most everything about the operation of the vehicle that I don’t get in a twist about sharing vehicles.  BUT my wife uses door pockets as trash cans. Drives me f-ing crazy whenever she borrows my car for a few days.

Fuck you and your spam code.

LOL, some people like to keep their ride pristine, while others use it as a traveling trashcan.  Sorry, but I’m not about to share a car with Lana.

“we don’t care about fuel efficiency”

You’ll notice that Jason, Raph or David didn’t give any recommendations.

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson comes in a hybrid and can get a tow hitch mounted. Since we get the long wheelbase model in the USA, it should be plenty big enough in the backseat. If that isn’t big enough, the Santa Fe also comes in a hybrid this year. Neither look hybrid-y and I doubt a teenager/young adult would mind…

This is in San Diego:

4 reasonable recommendations? What has happened to Jalopnik? All of these are great options. Rav4 Prime is what I had in mind before seeing the recommendations. If that doesn’t have the desired space, the Sienna could replace the Highlander as the family travelling vehicle and the Highlander could replace the Civic. 

If I remember back to biology class, sometimes when two wheels get together, sometimes the undesirable traits match up and low and behold something new is born.

This hurts my brain. They’re all like that!

But how does it compare to, say, an M1A1 Abrams main battle tank? That’s the comparison that actually matters.

He also compared the Telluride to literally everything except crossovers it actually competes against so, who knows?

They don’t make economic sense for one.  The cost of making a diesel in this size class is high as they are required to meet the same emissions standards as gasoline power.  The complexity and pressure also means expensive parts and service.  The difference between gas and diesel mileage isn’t anywhere close to high…

Where did you get 4 mpg difference between this and the seltos?

*laughs in GX*

Because small diesels are a pain in the ass to maintain, and are ridiculously expensive. Many people like to lament the days of the old Mercedes diesels getting a million miles per gallon. Yes, they were great and relatively easy to work on. But they also spewed an enormous amount of emissions. With the switch to ULSD…

Also, I’m not even sure if I blame Musk these days, because, after years of deadly Tesla crashes tied to Autopilot, if you believe his tech is safe and keep using (or misusing) it, at some point that is on you.

See that beautiful BMW in green with a tan interior at the top of this article?
