There’s also no shame in buying a car instead of lifestyle vehicle.

I rarely thought an SUV could be “beautiful” until I saw the Lincoln Aviator. It’s a surprisingly graceful design from an unexpected source.

The gently falling roofline and relatively low ground clearance for an SUV adds a lot of visual length, and it features just the right amount of brightwork to make it look…

I feel like I’m going to catch a lot of shit for this choice but I think the Chrysler 300 is quite beautifully executed. It’s a rental fleet staple so about as normal a car as you can get but I think it has the perfect design mix of retro/modded/ordinary looks. It’s a family sedan that somehow can look sinister,…

Never forget what they took from us. 

I always thought the 2021 Mazda 6 was a pretty car

Another Honda product: the 3rd gen (UA6-UA7) Acura TL (2004-2008) has aged fairly gracefully into the 2020s, imo.

This was Mazda during their peak “Zoom-Zoom” era. The first Mazda6 was such a solid, handsome design with a perfect mix of curves and edges.

Definitely the 23 Prius. I don’t know how Toyota suddenly decided to turn their ugly duckling into one of the best looking cars on the road, but I’m glad they did.

My most deeply-held belief is that the CD-generation Accord, and the JDM-spec coupe, more specifically, is one of the most beautiful cars to have come out of the 90's.

I won’t ostracize you for the comment, but I will point out you are in the EU and probably have access to vastly superior public transportation system and live in place where infrastructure investment isn’t confused with culture wars and the gender of your partner in life.

I don’t know if I’ll get ostracized for this, but here goes: I don’t own a car, I ride the train for my 50-minute commute. When I need a car, I use a car sharing service. Then it’s usually a small VW (Up!), or a Golf of some sort.

Its really all about how you do your finances and what you budget for. As long as the money going out every month doesn’t exceed what’s coming in then no it doesn’t really matter. But to me, knowing that I pay that much per month when it could go into savings or put elsewhere doesn’t feel right. I’d (almost) always…

Currently we have:
2016 Focus RS - Paid off
2019 Ford Edge ST - $380
And considering my first new car purchase - a Blazer EV... but if I can’t get the payments for that under $500 a month (which is still just so high) I’ll look for something else.

ICE car took 70 years to finally get to a point were they work fine in extreme temperatures.

2023 Bolt EV - $235 per month leased

I’ve been wondering this whole time how people are buying “regular person” vehicles like Mavericks, Tellurides, Siennas with $10k markups.

If the bank is rejecting your loan application they are doing you a favor. You can’t afford that car buddy.

Same here, it’s called having good credit. Odds are overwhelmingly good that if a bank turns you down for a loan you should have said loan.
