I’m 100% in agreement. I think Jeep will have a very fine line to walk. It has to be justifiably more expensive than the Grand Cherokee, but not too expensive. And it will have to look more upscale and yet not too much so. Otherwise they’re going to leech sales off the Grand Cherokee, or vice versa. Side note: We’re…

But that issue is the other issue for a $100K SUV. I recently was in an XC90 T8 for a test drive. It was fully loaded, and it was very nice. Many of my friends families have Range Rover’s, BMW X5's, Mercedes GL/GLS’s, Audi Q7's and Volvo XC90's. The thing with those is that the badge means something. Why buy a $100K…

Yes, curse you Acura TL-S. My father only replaces cars when the cost of depreciation is exceeded by the cost of maintenance. Sadly, our TL-S has low KM’s (113K), and won’t need replacement for another 2-3 years. Shame, because my dad will buy either a Jaguar XF 3.5t Prestige, a Mercedes-Benz CLS550 4MATIC or an Acura…

The Nissan Chapeau? That’s the Nissan Hat. “Look, darling, I bought a Nissan Hat! I drive everywhere in a Hat! It’s a superb Hat!”. On the plus side, it does look to have plenty of headroom for anyone driving in a Hat while wearing a Hat, even a very tall Hat. Perhaps it was marketed for The Cat in a Hat?

I say Saab. The owners are likely to turn up wearing sweaters and holding a degree. You probably wouldn’t want to mess with them. Or crash into them.

See that wheel in my profile pic? That’s our family’s 2007 TL Type S (5AT). So far, it’s done a mere 113K KM, and we’ve had no major complaints. It’s a great car, and our second Acura (1995 Legend Coupe LS 4AT was the first.). We plan on keeping it as long as is possible, which says a lot!

Unfortunately, as we know, this car will never be cool. Why? Because Jeremy Clarkson had one. And as the rule with the cool wall goes: If one of the presenters of (Now dead, but oh so good Top Gear) has one, then it becomes uncool. Sorry to the future buyer of this car. Then again, Clarkson sold his. I suppose that…

This is tough. This is like when your teacher mentions that you have a test the next day based on the material you did in class, but you were too busy reading Jalopnik to listen to them, and have no clue what they were on about. At least I can quote an Infographic about something or other. Let’s see.

As a Canadian, I think you get a star for that one.

It’s not, and many European spec cars have them. If not hazards, the entire brake light flashes.

Reminds me of my dad’s Pearl White 1995 Legend Coupe LS 4AT. Great car, it did everything you asked of it without any fuss. We’ve now got a 2007 TL Type S, and are thinking of getting a new TLX SH-AWD Elite. They grow on you, Acuras. Like a pleasant statement to understated refinement.

Funny, my father had a Pearl White 1995 Acura Legend LS Coupe (4AT), and we now have a 2007 TL Type S, Black on Black. Both are excellent cars, but I do find the Legend slightly prettier. We’re now looking at a TLX SH-AWD Elite.

Hell, for $500, why not just buy it for the Turbo Badge? Then you could tell all your friends that you owned a Saab 900 TURBO, which as we know makes you infinitely cooler! And I agree, just Lemons the rest. Plus, it already looks like a Lemon. The person who specified the colour was thinking ahead!

You may actually have a point. A teacher at a high school near me has a SAAB 900 Turbo SPG Convertible, which is immensely cool. But yes, he loved that Supra, and it was fully loaded. He bought a pearl white Acura Legend LS 4AT Coupe to replace it.

Dad’s first car was a SAAB 99 Turbo, in Sweden. He had a crash in it, walked away, had the car fixed. His friend was an engineer at SAAB, and he and my dad put a rally engine into it (not sure of the specifics, just that “It was stupid fast”.). He sold it before he moved to Canada. Then almost bought a Maserati…

My mother is the happy owner of a 2014 Mazda 3 GT (Hatch), Grand Touring. Barring a few dings, mostly from parking lots, the car has no issues and is totally reliable. 0 complaints, the fuel economy is excellent, and it’s a really fun car to drive.

Barring, of course the fact that I am Canadian and not of age to vote, I would vastly enjoy you running here for our House of Commons. Although, my one platform idea would be “MAKE DAMN SNOW TIRES MANDATORY”, since it makes a ton of sense here. I look forwards to your competition with the Rhinoceros Party. Although,…

Good point. I didn’t think of them, mainly because, well, they never crossed my mind. A Sierra might work. My neighbor has a Sierra Denali, but I’m not sure if it’s very roomy in the back. The problem is that this guy’s criteria cancel eachother out. I’m sure a car exists, but I’ve not got any clue where. On a side…

Excellent point, sir. Also, he wants parking sensors, but no screen or camera? I’ve not heard of cars in north America that can have sensors but not a screen. Or no voice commands, yet still have such features. Plus, Volvo is a somewhat pretentious brand. As far as I’m aware, no North American Volvo XC90/V90/S90 will…

Disagreed. I find they generally throw in seat heaters. The Acura TLX, for example can be had with rear seat heaters in Canada, but as far as I know, not the US.
