You missed the point...not everyone wants to drive the big sellers. They are literally everywhere. Once, about the same time I was in the market for a new sedan, I left a mall and lost count of the Altimas on the way to my car. That sealed it for me...no Altima. Ever.

You exhibit a selective memory, methinks. I cross-shopped the Galant with Accords, Camrys, and Altimas...all of which were less equipped, way more common, and more expensive. My ownership experience (2 Galants over 9 years with zero service calls) was incredible.

Absolutely, 100% true. Bought an ‘05 new, traded it in on an ‘11, which I then kept for 4 years. Zero - count’ em, zero - mechanical issues. No trim falling off, no paint issues, no electrical bugs, no maddening quirks (well, the factory remote start fob with the little telescoping antenna was kinda cute but the…

Goalie dad here. Five months out of the year, we need room for 1-2 adults, 1-2 kids, hockey gear, and luggage for long travel weekends.

How Darude.

I sure hope Neil had exact change...

Wouldn’t an energy-absorbing barrier or an array of water barrels be preferable to an exposed launch ramp?

The 21st Century gets its obligatory “Germans behind fences” photo op.

Well, it is Chicago. Couldn’t he just drive it home backwards?

The 0.46 vehicle is still on the lot, I presume.

The gist of a negligence claim is that the duty has been breached and the plaintiff harmed. If the conduct of the shop’s personnel was below the standard of care, i.e., if it failed to fulfill its…

If I follow this correctly, dude paid cash for a $250k Audi, it got wrecked, and he’s bumming rides and taking Uber? The other driver’s carrier has tendered policy limits, it would seem, so the guy is sitting on $100k COLD, yet he can’t be bothered to lease, or rent, or buy something? Who the hell has an R8 for a…

That’s going to depend on the totality of the circumstances, which are impossible to fully ascertain given the limited information provided. Were there reasonable pre-loading alternatives that did not include leaving the customer’s vehicle exposed at that location for X minutes/hours? What is the industry standard for…

Explanation I was given at the local Audi dealership was that drivers weren’t willing to wait long enough for the screen to come up before backing, which effectively negated all of the safety benefits of the back-up camera.

I’m going to stand up for OP on this one. Public figures are different. They aren’t like you and me. They give up something in trade. That’s why they have publicists and not privacists. Think about celebrity in terms of supply and demand. The more the public figure gives away for free, the less demand there is. Do you…

Quattroid rage?

Three words: zebra duct tape.

Good lord. Can we please stop comparing the Q5 and the current gen allroad as if they are somehow interchangeable? Has anyone who seems so quick to vocalize criticisms of the allroad even driven one?
