That’s a Sandero, I believe.

I’ll take the Renault version any day. Koleos >>> Rogue, it’s not even close.

Yeah, I’m thinking the one on the lift is probably also toast. Water looks to be nearly to the top of the garage doors. That’s too bad.

This should feel considerably nicer than a RAV-4, which up until at least the previous gen felt like it was made out of dollar-store toys. The Camry has been considerably nicer than the Corolla/RAV-4 for a while and this should be the Camry equivalent of the RAV-4, along with the higher price tag. If anything I would…

I’m not sure what the requirements or actual definition are today, but under CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards, “light trucks” (infamously, the PT Cruiser but also pretty much any “SUV” you can think of) have lower MPG requirements than “passenger cars” (the other category). That means that a sales mix…

Those (the 35i ones) seem to be extremely thin on the ground for some reason, at least where I am (SF Bay Area, where you would think they’d be everywhere). Seems like it’d be really hard to find a CPO one. BMW’s CPO finder doesn’t even split the X2 into different trims, so I can’t even tell what’s 28 and what isn’t.

Except how is he gonna charge it if he street parks? I think a regular 500 would be a great San Francisco car (and there are plenty around because of it).

I’m practically in lust with the thing and I’m just the type of urban buyer they need (I drive an X3), even if it goes completely against the old Defender. I’m thinking they will do very well with it and even the styling is right. It’s priced approximately in line with the upper GLC, X3, Macan, etc trims. I’m kinda…

The Renault Duster Oroch is the only small South American pickup I find myself remotely on board with:

I truly could not care less about this but new X3s do have it “fixed”, as the center of the little volume knob doesn’t turn along with the outside. Time to upgrade!

Yeah, sounds like what somebody who probably hasn’t tried actually using it to get to work and go about a normal life would say. A bus system can easily be better than driving, but few in the US are. At the bare minimum a transit line needs to have a reasonable frequency (every 10 minutes tops during the day), a…

As somebody who lives and drives in San Francisco, I regularly encounter Cruise’s semi-autonomous Bolts. While they can drive around the city without killing anybody, they most definitely can’t do it quickly. The first thing any driver wants to do upon encountering a Cruise car is go around it so you can actually get…

San Francisco is actually a great market for this sort of thing. Plenty of cash and people who don’t drive to work but love getting up to the Sierras on the weekends.

Seems to be some sort of E90 era BMW coupe, so probably an E92 M3.

I was just thinking about this this morning! Just bought my first ever SUV and everything behind the b pillars is super tinted! What’s the loophole?

Motor Trend and Suzuki drove some Kizashi’s from Tokyo to LA once (some ferry was involved, naturally).

It’d be pretty damn easy for them to not give the entire ROW that ridiculous beaver face! Just make all China-bound models special “Red Sport package” (sorry Infiniti) models with the snout and that’s that.

I’m on the exact same boat and I think the critical piece is that luxury makers have been good about 1) controlling their inventory instead of churning out cars like there’s no tomorrow and 2) actually timing their 2020 releases. You can only deal on models where they’re stuck holding the potato, but pretty much…

I’m not sure I quite buy the whole “they sell everything they can make” line. Maybe if you also add “and they throttle production to match sales”. There was suddenly loads of inventory as they pushed for their end of quarter goal.

Options are pretty much the bread and butter of every luxury marque and giving a gray or silver wheel option seems like pretty much the easiest option ever yet they won’t do it. I am recently no longer in the market for a Model 3 as I ended up custom ordering a BMW. The Model 3 Performance should also offer smaller…
