I’m going to say the obvious one answer is the Settled Man’s Camry ie Lexus GS350 AWD F Sport. Find a CPO under new car warranty like this: https://www.stevinsonlexusoflakewood.com/VehicleDetails/certified-2013-Lexus-GS_350-4dr_Sdn_AWD-Lakewood-CO/3433443163

Agreed! But there is a simple reason. Minivans don’t LOOK cool or TOUGH like a fake CUV or SUV does. You can’t get them in AWD except for the Sienna where almost every CUV or SUV is available in AWD/4WD. Does anyone remember the Sienna Off-Road Concept? Overboard. But, this dude took a simple AWD Sienna and gave it a…

News Flash: Fiscally Smart People do Fiscally Smart Thing. #Shocked.

<blockquote>and the new drive units from the Model 3, including different motors, inverter and gearbox.</blockquote>

Dealerships sell cars. FCA’s current model is broken in the US. They buy Credits from Tesla because they are behind in the EV/Hybrid game and most of FCA’s sales are Trucks, Jeeps, and V8s. This could work, but CAR (Chrysler Alfa Renault lol) needs to reinvent its distribution model and complete a lineup. Today you…

2009 Infiniti G37x Coupe. 2 Doors, 4 seats, AWD for the Brutal Winters. Newer than anything above and those VQs are pretty reliable. Plus a ton of aftermarket support: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/770477442/overview/

I agree. That said, I think most people recognize that by being early adopters they are in essence the “test subjects”. Each intervention of AutoPilot sends data back to Tesla to improve. That is how these features get better. My AP1 Tesla Model S was pretty bad. Compared to my AP2.5 Model 3, and the different…

I think the difference is the Torque Vectoring VTM-4/SH-AWD system is much different than what you find in the Rav4's AWD system. It is what separates other crossovers geared towards the on-road use only. Its the reason why all the unveilings were done by Honda Off-Road in Utah first before journalists got wheel time…

Same old Crossovers don’t focus on off-road looks. They have 3 row/minivan-alternative looking vehicles. It was already mentioned that they like the look of Land Rovers, but are concerned with reliability. So they are okay with those Unibody CUVs that this about as differentiated you would find acceptable without…

Agreed:

Civic and Accords have the highest theft rate. I’d have put a Honda Insight Badge. Considering all the break-ins caught on Sentry Mode, I’d have gone with a Cadillac ELR badge lol.

I wrote this in response to rumors on Ford cooking up a Small PickUp:

I think you hit the nail on the head. Something Different = Not Mopar. Hows a nice 2004 4Runner 4x4 4.7l V8 with Leather for $2900 before negotiating: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/765490523/overview/

You might have to drive all the way to the NYC Jalopnik office almost for it though lol. But here’s your…

I had a 2003 Quad Cab 5.9l with AWD. I used it to plow with a SnoWay MT 7'6" Blade. It had disc brakes all around, the 9.25" rear LSD, and Leather Interior. Was by far one of the most honest trucks I’ve owned. Wish the seats had more support, but otherwise, I miss that truck. I have a 2008 Quad Cab 4.7l Dakota, and it…

CA? Only one option: https://www.tesla.com/model3/

To summarize: Let’s count the pollution created to mine, ship, install the batteries and energy that is almost coal derived. But lets not count the pollution created to mine, ship, and refine the oil used a the fuel on ICE vehicles. Instead, let’s just count the emissions from driving a vehicle and say its less. Got…

Model S and X are still selling well. But the decline is noticeable. Much of that I believe has to do with the fact that they can’t accept faster V3 charging speeds, an interior that has not been revised since mid-2016 (itself a minor facelift from the 2012 version) and battery and motor tech that is behind the more…

As much as we complain that Tesla doesn’t have great paint, reliability, etc and the mainstream brands will crush them... We can now say the main brands are out with their version. In short: Mainstream Brands are car companies first and tech companies second. Tesla is a tech company first, car company second. And with…

Supposedly EPA just finished testing the SR+ but not the SR yet. As soon as it does, I think it will start shipping. Problem is the SR may not hit 220, so we’ll see.

So will someone pay top $ for my 97 with 190k+, major highway miles in Grey (Kaiser Silver)... Cause I’d sell for half of what this one goes for LOL
