These are designed to provide the easiest possible access to the rear seats for familes. Sliding doors would work, but that's sales suicide. And they don't allow you to step in without hitting your head on the roof. That's everyday practicality.

In the South, your devotion to a car brand comes second only to God and George W.

You're so dense. GM isn't building cars to "cater to the niche" of gay families. It's not like the Traverse is specifically engineered for alternative families. Their marketing department is showing that the company is open minded.

GM isn't support Putin's Russia. They bought air time during the Olympics, which any company that has the funds and need to do so would. NBC doesn't support Putin, nor does the IOC. Unfortunately not every country in the world offers the same freedoms as Western nations do.

Talking about the mentality of Americans. Individuals can never admit fault, so they pin it on a faceless entity, usually a corporation or completely unrelated 3rd party

This is an even worse excuse than "affluenza", because at least we could prove those parents raised an irresponsible little shit.

Welcome to America, where nobody ever makes mistakes except corporations.

I actually love the 9-7x Aero.

Really liking this car here

Flaws in the design? This is actually called "consumer ignorace". Little did you know your X5 is over engineered.

The thing about China is the Tesla will cost at least twice as much there as it does in the US because of tax. Some BMWs are actually more popular there if they're subjected to the tax than their models that aren't, because status. (you get the 100% tax if the car isn't built in China with collaboration by a Chinese…

I want this so bad it hurts my groins.

Thanks Keanu Reeves!

How to drive a stick shift.

Definitely a fan of the 3rd option. That'd be absolutely hilarious to watch.

I read an article in Indy Star that I-65 from Indy to Chicago is one of the deadliest highways in the US and the worst in Indiana. INDOT doesn't know what to do about it. Speeding isn't the issue from one of their studies. It's run-offs and sudden traffic jams that are the problem.

It's an improvement in the same sense as the plain jane girl in 6th girl being "hotter" than the ugly one with buck teeth and lopsided tits. Certainly less personality and much more forgettable, but easier on the eyes.

FYI, Google Chrome is the ONLY browser that I've ever been able to use Kinja on without issue. And that's only sometimes.

BMW does underrate engines, but not by 100 HP. And that almost never applies to their M models. They intentionally underrate their regular models to give the Ms more prestige. Everyone knows the 335i is making closer to 330 HP than the advertised 300, because the M3 needs to have at least 100 more horsepower to seem…

Very pretty. I like how they managed to give it a sleek roofline while adding that sharp corner in the window to keep the design edgy. The rear is much improved over the sedan
