I expect the 4runner to get smaller in the next generation, with a lower starting price and more macho-macho design. Being tacoma based, it will likely start with the 2.5T and offer the 2.5T hybrid as an upgrade. Whereas the Land Cruiser starts with the 2.5T hybrid. Give the LC a third row as well

2022 Outlander AWD. Just under $25k for a basically brand new, 7 seater AWD SUV.

As a New Yorker I can say I see a lot more of these chases in Brooklyn. I’m also noticing so many unmarked undercover cars. Cars that you’d never expect to be police. Odysseys, matte black Range Rovers, corollas, jettas, taxi cabs and more. All undercover cops. It’s giving police state for sure.

Get a wagon of some sort - maybe an XF sportbrake if you like your Jag - your existing roof rack will probably fit, too.

Sounds like the car you’re looking for is the BMW i4 idrive40. It’s a sporty BMW compact sedan that happens to be electric. They’re nice to drive and have a comfortable, traditional luxury car interior - not a barren dash with a giant tablet like most EVs have.

Ten years ago I visited China and Vietnam. 3 years ago I visited both again. The pace of development in those 7 years was astonishing. Even blowing China out of the water.

Fun story: my older sister (an art school dropout) was dating a guy (an art school dropout). She said her boyfriend drives his mom’s old minivan. I was about 8 years old, but I immediately asked if it was a Nautica edition Villager.

I grew up near a farm town that was completely bisected by a train track. If and when the train stopped to loan grain in town (often), there is no way around the train. Period. You have to get in the state highway, travel 2 miles outside of town to the next crossing, hope the train isn’t there yet, cross the track

Thanks to Billy the German Shepherd, these criminals are no longer on the lamb.

Lincoln LS was a great ripoff but mediocre competitor to the BMW E39

Silver Camry XLE V6. Nondescript, blends in with every other car in the road, still fast enough to make a quick escape and reliable enough that you won’t break down.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio QF. Widely regarded as the fastest, best handling SUV on sale. It is basically a tall Giulia with AWD, a sunroof and hatchback - all of which are great additions I wish the Giulia QF had. 

How did the Defender 90 get missed? The 90 was most famously a convertible here in the US for its prior generation

Lancia Thema 8.32. Yes, this may sound like heresy, but a Ferrari V8 never belongs in any FWD car, especially a heavy family sedan with garbage reliability. They did a great job of polishing the turd for the V8, but alas it was still a dopey FWD sedan.

They probably set the template a decade ago when they bought the label maker and haven’t touched it since. The techs just punch in the next service date and mileage and it prints it out. They probably never read the templated part... because it never changes.

But Brazil has all of that and even worse road conditions than America. The difference is their tax structure incentives small and efficient cars. They also penalize large and heavy, inefficient cars.

Chicago’s “Turn lanes” (or lack thereof).

Let the system deal with them. At the end of the day this is Karen-esque and it’s very dangerous for him. People manipulating their plates might be up to something far more nefarious than just dodging fines. I wouldn’t cross these kinds of people just because you think the municipal budget could use a few more

Seriously? Do you travel to Saudi Arabia to fill up your car? It’s a liquid - they can ship it and put it into pumps anywhere on earth. Just like, you know, gasoline.

It’s a good deal for a running, clean 4x4 from any brand with decent mileage. The issue is these are horribly unreliable like most MBs of this era. I had an aunt and uncle who were loyal to MB and owned one of these and an SLK in the late 90s. Both were in the shop so often they bought a Lexus ES as a runabout for
