Ghosn should be charged with murder for destroying everything decent and interesting about Nissan

Every Fusión comes with a few thousand worth of incentives and markdown, and the Energi has even more. A friend asked me which mid-size sedan she should buy. I recommended the Mazda6 and Accord. She liked them a lot, but saw that a Fusion was several thousand cheaper out the door with more equipment. She picked up a…

In other markets, the small Mercedes Metris is sold as a Sprinter model. Got it covered 

I see a lot of Mexican plated vehicles in Texas. On the streets of Dallas this year I’ve seen:

If you look at current markets for 100 series Land Cruisers and LXs, yours is probably worth around $20k in good condition. A 2005 Range Rover would be worth about $7k in similar condition and mileage. 

It’s also a cheap and simple Toyota, so 200k miles isn’t a worry. Now 200k on a Dodge Avenger... 

The most reliable vehicle I ever owned was a 2000 Land Cruiser I bought with 170k miles. It was by no means in great condition, but it never gave any issues except a small fuel line leak that was fixed for under $100. Utterly bulletproof. Least reliable is a 2007 Audi A6 4.2 I bought with 90k miles. Significantly more…

Yeah and my mom’s brand new 2012 Grand Cherokee Overland Summit 5.7 was constantly in the shop. The air suspension was repaid a half dozen times by the time she sold it at 30k miles, when the radiant blew and left her stranded. There are anecdotes for every car, good and bad. Anecdotes aren’t data.

Mileage should be tied to brand as well. A 100k mile Lexus or Honda will be a safer bet than an 50k mile Jaguar or Dodge Dart. They will likely be in better condition because they’re constructed better. And consequently they will cost a lot more.

I like it. It seems like a pleasant place to be. I often get chauffeured for work, and 80% of they time I’m sent a Suburban or Navigator for myself. Completely wasteful, and it’s not even that comfortable. I’m not sure why people think it’s luxurious to sit on a leather bench seat in rhe back of a giant SUV, which…

God, you just listed every reason we decided not to have children and get a cat instead. That, and the massive environmental impact every new child takes on the world and the fact that they will NEVER leave you alone. 

I disagree. A turbo-4 Camaro or Mustang is a genuinely quick and fun to drive car. If you put a 150 hp four cylinder from the Cruze or Focus in there (objectively cheaper to run), you wouldn’t get the level of sales. 

As a common car service user, I prefer the Town Car over the ubiquitous Yukons and Suburbans, simply because there isn’t much legroom in those. However I much prefer a more modern vehicle, like a Lexus ES or Avalon over a Town car. And with the awful fuel economy, it’s time has come and gone. A Hybrid Avalon will…

A bit disappointing balance between performance and fuel economy, getting neither one right. Similar fuel economy to the 2011 535i, which of course had much more power from a turbo 6 cylinder and RWD/AWD. I guess this may have some advantage over the Stinger in badge only. I’m sure there are a lot of people who still…

The tackiest thing I've seen all week. If the tails were solid red and had this infinity mirror, I'd be in board. Everything else is cheesy

On the M8 Gran Coupe builder, there’s a wide variety of lovely and unique colors... even brown! I’m partial to this Super Sonic Blue

It wouldn't be the first time they out a Ferrari V8 in a FWD sedan. The glorious Lancia Thema 8.32

Yeah that's how I read it. Knocking Audi down as "near luxury" and boasting Infiniti as an equal. 

I can't think of many cars that would be worse to drive than an overpowered FWD Eclipse Spyder on 20s with a giant wing. 

It’s getting old. There’s no novelty left in that joke. Yes, it’s a BMW. And it wouldn’t exist any other way. Get used to cobranded sports cars, because it's the only way they make financial sense to produce
