This is a false dichotomy. Reliability and fun aren’t exclusive. See the GT86 or miata.

Maybe it’s just me, but quality is more important than reliability when I’m buying a cheap luxury car. If the miles are high, I don’t care as long as it “feels” like a new, solid luxury car. Maintenance is something I research and include in my budget and I’ll still come out ahead with depreciation.

If this was a Lexus, it would be a NP. This is an Alfa. You may not know what is wrong, but you can guarantee something is wrong 

Fair enough, but with the wheels above, what else do you want?

I always went skiing with my old Land Cruiser or my mom’s X5. These split gates make super useful exterior benches for putting on ski gear in the parking lot without tearing up your interior also super useful for loading heavy equipment in the rear

I don’t get the obsession with the clown shoe. You can get the same stellar drive train for less money in the Z4 M coupe. As an added bonus, it doesn’t look like a clown shoe and the interior isn’t from 1997. The main appeal of the clown shoe is that it’s weird, rare and not an M3... This is all those things and good…

This is news? This is what the majority of Infiniti FXs are doing in Chicago 

His base doesn't fly. They stay in Mississippi and never leave 

Been using it for 2 months to fill in the exclusion zones on my cheeks (I could only grow a chinstrap basically). So far it's definitely filled in more. Not there completely, but it's a big improvement. The Costco brand minoxidil works just fine and it's dirt cheap 

I agree, the z8 is the right answer. But can you find one for $130,000? I haven’t been able to find anything under $150k these days. Even those are the automatic-only Alpina models, and those don’t have the stellar S62 V8. 

You didn’t mention the audio quality. How do these compare to Air Pods in audio quality?

I politely disagree. The 500E was fast, but it couldn’t touch the Lotus Carlton. It didn’t handle like the Carlton. And it only came in Auto. Badass? Very. More Badass than Darth Vaders Vauxhall? Not quite.

Wow I bet that extra 20 lbs really ruined the center of gravity on a GX460 😒

They're great. I feel confined in any car without them. Think of all the options that add zero value except comfort. That's 50% of the interior features. Might as well get rid of the radio and AC. Those add weight and offer zero benefit except driver comfort. 

Old money versus new (fake) money. Warren Buffet drove (still drives?) a Cadillac DTS. Donald Trump has a private Boeing 757. That says a lot. 

There are unassisted speed records too. Calm down and appreciate someone who had the guts to go 184 mph on a bicycle. If you think that's not impressive, go look up the unassisted speed records. 

I think manuals have a benefit for very heavy duty towing. And it feels like you're driving a big rig. And that's half the point in a full size diesel truck, right? 

1) I don’t understand why people are so upset about BMW switchgear in the car. So what if its BMW switchgear and infotainment? It’s certainly higher quality than anything in a Toyota. Despite having nice switchgear, the Lexus Infotainment is a UX nightmare.

Category is... Phoning it in. 

This may be one of the last cars of its kind. Cars are dying. Coupes particularly. There’s a reason why Toyota is teaming up with BMW and Subaru to bring enthusiasts the coupes they’ve been whining for decades to return (and immediately snub once they hit the market). There’s no money in coupes. If they split the…
