Careful David, BMW may catch wind of this and use origami for their next ratchet design language...

Honestly....just take my money mazda.

I mean....its fine, but for the love of god can companies stop releasing models in painfully unattractive/distracting color schemes with boyracer graphics? or at least give an alternative press photo that isnt the visual manifestation of “look at this douchebag”

Suzuki Ignis! I saw one in Bermuda and fell in love with it. Shame that Suzuki could never really get it together in the US - their offerings elsewhere are pretty cool!

^this. yes. If it’s that bad, pull over.

I wish. Very few cars are spec’d in the US with them. I remember when I worked at Audi I always had to explain to people what rear fog lights were because no other cars had them. 

People who put their flashers on during heavy rain. Makes me want to commit murder. It has been scientifically proven that all your flashers do is make it impossible for people behind you to properly gauge following distance because it messes up your depth perception.

got upgraded once in ATL from a cruze or similar to a chrysler 300.  Not something i would even think to look at, but man was that a perfect car to whip around atlanta in for a few days. 

as an ohio resident (...prisoner??), this new plate is trash, and the plane orientation is the least offensive part of it lol.

You’d have to be crazy to buy one new, but they have certainly turned into great used bargains for those few into the styling. The optional range extender is an interesting proposition as well to help reduce some range anxiety (rational or otherwise).

Great write-up! This is absolutely the one to get over the sedan. Last gen I would have said the opposite (RE high schooler car). Looks classy, grown up, and the perfect daily with a dose of added utility.

How about sticking with Buick and suck them dry for some those GM loyalty nonsense rebates?

I agree that jesus has needed to take the wheel on that interior design for at least the last five years, but I will say I find the exterior far more appealing than, say, a MB C300, or the last gen TLX/IS. The BMW and A4 are still looking like a snacc, but the lines of the Q50 still seem fresh enough for me.

came here to post this.... it was my absolute favorite thing about my Fit (magic seat #2 of course).

How about a Veloster? I see plenty of 2013-2014s out there under $10k, with 75-125k miles.

Yeah, its crazy that the Maverick exists in the same affordable vehicle sphere as the ecosport, but is vastly superior in every way. The contrast really shows how little effort went into the ecosport in general.

Thank god. This thing made the outlander sport and chevy trax look like reasonable purchases.

I mean....it’s fine I guess. The same way the new rogue is fine? There are lots of better options out there sure, but also plenty of worse ones. Id take this over a equinox/terrain/cherokee any day of the week if I needed a generic suburban CUV.
