I just paid off my old Honda but I’d really love to have a cheap hybrid or a small truck, I was planning on waiting till at least next year anyway to get the Maverick but deep down I’m really hoping that Honda or Toyota announce a similarly priced competitor by then so that I won’t have to deal with the Ford quality…

Ah, the same bowl Mazda keeps its fucks about your wants in.

I wouldn’t knock anyone for buying a CX-50, I think it looks great and being a Mazda I’m sure it’ll still be fun to drive compared to its competition.

187 hp is plenty to get you from A to B. Not everything needs to be capable of 0-60 in 3 seconds and 200 mph. While the CX-5 is certainly one of the better handling crossovers in the market it’s not exactly meant to light anyone’s hair on fire.

I think you might be the only one in the US asking for a manual transmission in a CX-5.

This isn’t a QOTD, however I’d like to add the RF:

Think you forgot 1 or 2 more...

This list is deeply flawed, as the Jaguar F-Type is absent.  Please correct this obvious oversight.

I won’t comment on the rest of the list, but the Alpine is definitely very, very pretty. In a market full of overly-aggressive sportscars, it makes think back to when cars were so much simpler.

I think comparing something like the NA/NB Miata vs today’s car or the original Z3 to today’s Z4 really provides the context.

Man the 718 isn’t even the prettiest Porsche!

It’s like they paused 2/3 of the way along and then forgot to do the back end.

Understated and pretty

IMO it should’ve been hybrid only. Don’t even put a HYBRID badge on it at this point. Just put a 45 mpg sticker on it and be done.

I agree and like Elizabeth said, when the hybrid one comes out, it’s going to be hard to justify any other purchase to non-car people

I actually like the Corolla Cross. There’s something inherently cool about a vehicle that is unashamedly utilitarian and ‘fit for purpose’. It gets good gas mileage. It has room to haul things and a hatch. It’s a safe, and not unpleasant place to spend time. And it appeals to what daily drivers want - a slightly…

“Why not go for the Hyundai Kona or the Kia Soul, which are both cheaper? Why not opt for the Kia Seltos’ interior charm?”

This price is the “We aren’t ready to sell it” price.

Is she blind? The Trax is one of the ugliest cars on sale today. 

I think the overall headline that
