B-21 Appropriations Hearing. It might not seem so intimidating to you, but I guarantee you that those two words strike fear into every defense contractor’s heart like no others.

Faraday Future...soon to become Faraday Past.

its pretty much a mini van on the inside. the fronts seats have all the luxuries that one would expect from a mercedes and the rear seats have pretty much everything one might expect a from a town and country.

and its not a vito its a v-class. the difference isint much but it is note worthy.

This is false. I spent $50k on a Sienna Limited. I’d have easily paid another $10k for a Lexus interior.

That is more of a commercial platform van, not so much a minivan.

I second this! Chrysler T&C was the first one to the game, long ago. Fake wood paneling and the billet style grille all say “swanky”.

Kids trash cars, you don’t want them trashing expensive shit.

Because they tried it already and it didn’t work...granted Mercedes really should have put sliding doors on this.

This is true.

sure, so long as VW stops calling them “TDI” as though that’s something unique.

My father-in-law has a Sorento with the third row, and all most all the time he just uses it as a 2 row SUV, but every once in a while it is nice to be able to take 1 car with 6 or 7 people. Usually it is going out to dinner or something like that. Nothing that requires luggage

It’s for those that need a minivan but lack enough self esteem to buy a minivan. As a result they buy a less practical yet overpriced minivan with extra body cladding, a minivan that isn’t perceived as a minivan due to clever marketing.

Technically, the headline said “three row SUV that isn’t enormous” not “7 seat SUV that isn’t enormous”. The Mazda5 had 3 rows*, so it would have counted should it still be in production.

These aren’t full time 7 seaters. If you really need 3 rows on a daily basis, get a minivan.

The simplest solution seems to be to STOP HAVING KIDS.

If 97,100 tons of methane is one of the biggest environmental disasters ever, then my plan to get my ass declared a Superfund site might actually be doable.

Ahhh, this is a fun one. A shit-ton is commonly misunderstood to be a ton of shit, but in fact a shit-ton is the amount of shit that it takes to displace the volume of a metric ton of water. As it turns out, a shit-ton is the mass equivalent of a boat-load which is a unit of volume.

You honestly can't figure out why a car 20+ years older and built in an era of more relaxed safety regulations is lighter ?

You haven’t seen my brother-in-law then. He can make a Kenworth tilt over.
