America isn’t going to respond well to a gender-specific car, that’s a pretty archaic philosophy in 2023 (but I guess aligns with Italian customs). Either way I never would’ve guessed the Tonale is supposed to be for women. If that’s the case, then the XC40 checks all those boxes while being 100x better package.

read a little about the owner of vinfast, and you won't be feeling as much sympathy.

A lot of what you just said is pretty blatantly incorrect or otherwise misinformed, but I’m gonna assume you live somewhere with poor biking infrastructure or otherwise doesn’t make much sense for it.

Exercise is a huge part. Walking isn’t really an alternative unless distances are very short. Cycling is typically at least 4x faster over a similar distance. So a 15 minute bike ride is hour walk. A lot of people are fine with a 30 minute bike ride but aren’t about to walk 2 hours each way.

Remember when that guy in the big truck tried to roll coal to “own” a bunch of cyclists and ended up plowing into them, critically injuring some of them, and wasn’t charged with anything? And it turned out his dad was a cop I think?

Methinks it’s the GIANT FRIGGIN TRUCKS everywhere driving without signaling, stopping or giving way. Nothing like “sharing the road” with armed drivers in 2 ton vehicles.

And before Hamilton, Micheal Schumacher.

what about when lewis dominated 2008, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020?

Yeah - Max wins every race. But if you’re willing to ignore him and follow the battles to finish 2-10, it’s a very compelling season!

The problem is that the bit went too far — all the way to the assembly line.

Actually starts at $88k. If you go all out and get the $109k top trim it’s really a supercar in the shape of a full-sized SUV, since it’s got over 1000 horsepower and 2.5 second 0-60, the 14th quickest production vehicle model ever, right there with Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

I mean.... minimum wages/income/etc also kind of went up...

Yeah, I keep laughing at the folks who bought $60k Broncos who are complaining about the fit/finish. Dude, you bought a $30K Bronco with $30k worth of high margin option packages. When we bought our F-150 we bought the STX, (one up from XL) cheapest way to get A/C in the back which was the only option we actually…

This is the correct answer. $100k+ for a Dodge Ram with a thyroid disorder is batshit insane.

“This isn’t the first time that Kazran has run into trouble with the law, either. Back in 2010, the Federal Election Commission filed a complaint against him alleging that he illegally reimbursed employees of his Florida dealership for close to $70,000 in political donations.”

So glad the dealer laws here in North Carolina are there to me protect from buying directly from a manufacturer. I’d hate to get taken advantage of.

I drive the previous gen ZR2 extended cab / long bed.

Size matters. Colorado fits in my garage. Full size truck does not.

Say what you will but I think the current CIVIC is one of the best looking cars on the road at any price. Plus the dash is done right. I’ve seriously thought about “downgrading” my current car to buy one.
