Sometimes I love being fast with photoshop...

Sure, as soon as Ford renames it to the Probe.

I think what we’re seeing here is the natural limit of performance electric vehicle builds today. It took a while to make every day performance accessible - back in the 80s and 90s you could get cars that did 0-60 in under 5 seconds, but they were things like Ferraris or Cosworth-engined Fords that were fragile and…

System of a down told me they were bad when I was a wee teen. Who doesn’t believe everything those guys say?

I don’t think #4 is really relevant when even those families apparently agree that 110 years isn’t warranted.

... and this is why the “tough on crime” mandatory minimum sentences (which always seem to end up equalling “life in prison”, somehow) are simply bad public policy.

The front end looks like a 90s JDM (nissan, mostly) sport compact, while the rear has a hatchback STI vibe. Overall, I think it looks worse. It’s a boring car that has been riced out with a big wing. Also, that X6 profile is just awkward.

I’ve said it in previous posts and I’ll reiterate it here; I’m actually the complete opposite in opinion and the prior generation Type R is really growing on me.

Factory wraps need to be a thing.   That look is hot. 

I mean, looks what it’s based on. I know the previous gen bets blasted by looking too boy racer, but this just screams Married with children...

I believe history will show that Elon Musk is more of a Thomas Edison than a Nikola Tesla.

Because I don’t want to live in a world ruled over by technocratic oligarchs who are weirdly worshiped by their customers.

You can admire how Henry Ford revolutionized the automobile industry while also acknowledging his union busting and war profiteering.

Truly is inspiring to see someone so humble, and down on their luck all the time, receive such an accolade /s

Many reasons:

Excellent, Musk could use an ego boost.

To be faihhhr , it’s better than jd power ‘initial quality’ or whatever other paid nonsense they’re peddling

If you read CR, then you’re likely to be the sort of person to whom the methodology caters. Not car people, but people who look at cars more as big ticket appliances. What they’re really measuring is reliability in the “hassle” sense. For car people, reliability tends to be a very different concept. For decades, cars…

You can’t get bad rankings if you don’t get ranked.

So consumer reports is trash but your “source” of the well documented problems is so great you fail to mention it. I don’t think anyone is putting CR on a pedestal but they gather information and present it. Not sure what else you want them to do.
