If you actually drive a Toyota, and then drive a Lexus, you would know the difference is enormous.

You are correct, sir.

This really is the proverbial lipstick on a pig. These were miserable penalty boxes when they were new and this just makes it worse.

Mazda sold the Tribute, a Ford Escape with Mazda badging.

Easy, an Oldsmobile Bravada. Rode like a buckboard and was noisy as hell, made me really wonder what the Chevy version was like.

Yes, but unlike Audi’s of this generation, this car still runs...

You want to sell a car for 81K? start by vacuuming the carpet and getting rid of your frappachino cup. No dice.

The plastic over the carpets makes it appear that this is being sold by a dealer. If that’s the case, how much did they pay for it, $1500? If so, a $1500 Mercedes is one that rode in on its last leg, ND.

I had the same year 210 station wagon, it looked nice and was efficient, but even with a five speed you couldn’t run the AC and climb a hill at the same time. And I believe it cost half of this new so... hell no dice.

The Bimmer and Merc would sell for less, and for good reason, this Camry was made far better, As for being forgettable, many people remember these as great cars, often the best one they ever owned. 

This is a mechanical Thalidomide Frankenstein baby.

Rivian and Lucid are pretty high bars...

I moved to France this year and was surprised to see an MG SUV being sold here. It looks good and offers a lot of bang for the buck, because MG is now a Chinese company. They don’t sell that many here though, because the French prefer to buy European cars with some Japanese and Korean thrown in. Perhaps what surprised…

I have been living in France for the past eight months and recently said to my wife, “Look at that Kia Sportage, it’s so big!” which tells you what the average car size is here I drive a 2019 Peugeot 2008, and it’s fine, but I wouldn’t want to go smaller.

The fact that he spray painted the bumpers silver rather than have them re-chromed says it all. This looks like a quick cover up for more serious issues. ND.

Like this? Loewy designs were years ahead of the rest of the industry.

It’s Italian, but your other points are valid.

Had a Kia Sorento for 3 years. Zero issues, great car. I assume you’ve never actually owned one.

Friends had them and loved them and they were very reliable. The engine, however, sounded like there was a tin can rattling around under the valve cover. Still, good car, nice price.

That would be a Ford product...
