Ok, so maybe not the best choice, but better than this:

Used Chevy SS.

Counterpoint: The people I encounter wearing headphones in the grocery store often have no situational awareness and make my experience worse.

Never done this, never even thought about doing this.

I friend of mine just bought one of these. It took all my power to not look him straight in the eye and scream ‘WHY!?’ at him. He’ll understand the first time it need to go to the shop.

Ah so not much has changed from my 2012 Impreza then:

And yet somehow some people STILL don’t notice that they’ve left it on...

Grey, then red and now black.

They are, which is why the XC60 is such an important car, plus it’ll be a volume seller for them.

Since it’s part of the 60 family, and the V90 wagon is out there, I must say we’ve got a pretty good idea of what it should look like - just need them to debut the damn thing, and I’m pretty sure that won’t be until Geneva NEXT year if I remember their roadmap correctly.

Maybe that’s just what they want you to think...

He knows there’s no problem with supply, right?

I know, I know, far too optimistic of me to believe that people might actually give enough of a shit to actually research their car purchase beyond “I want a BMW because it’s German” or “I want a Toyota because it’s reliable.”

3rd Gear: I know badge-whores won’t care, but will folks be willing to pay current BMW prices for cars built in Mexico? It’s not a “German engineering” thing because I have to assume at least a few BMW owners know that their car is built in the US and not Europe, but would Mexico be a bridge too far? It’s not like…

I would buy this in a heartbeat. But then again, in order for anyone else to buy it in NA they’d need to jack it up a few inches and throw some plastic cladding on there.

Meanwhile, in Canada, you can get the top trim Mazda6 GT with a stick. I couldn’t believe it either until I checked.

You can get a stick on almost all of Mazda’s offerings in Canada save the CX-9 I believe. Not bad, Mazda, not bad.

Great, now lower it a few inches and call it the 2018 V60!

When I start up my Subaru, often when it’s cold, it will inexplicity rev to about 3500 RPM before falling to idle. Can’t ever get the shop to replicate it, and only ever seems to do it when I’m alone in the car. Damn thing has made me look like a fool a number of times.

Oh god it’s like they mashed together all the worst features of every other crossover out there. From the pictures I see:
