They’re too busy protecting consumers from direct sales.

I wasn’t even paying attention to that as I can’t be bothered to remember which one is the sedan and which is the coupe; I was simply asking about AC wanting a carbon fibre roof because I’d have never thought that BMW would do something like that to appease a racing team....

I never heard that about the M3. AC requested BMW put a carbon fibre roof on the E90?

Since you’ve got the 800hp Sienna engine, how about your next drifter being a Sienna? Just tell Toyota you’ll save them money buy not having to pull the engine out of anything.

Their SUVs (specifically, the MDX) is doing amazing; the cars aren’t not performing well against their competitors/benchmarks, though.

Who buys a Range Rover based on its ability to transport a wedding party in the rain? Its an ad. It promotes the brand - its the same reason why I believe they made the trophies for the Indy too. I strongly doubt they banked on people wanting to buy trophies from them.

I can’t remember if they still do it (it used to be every year), but there was one year where they balanced it on an Indy car to promote the Toronto Indy

I might’ve been Kinja’d, but here’s one year where they did a cross-promotion with the Toronto Indy:

Rubberbanding is the absolute worst. Might as well just have each race by a 30 second race like NFS NL on mobile is if you’re going to have something that nullifies/punishes a good early performance.

It’s for a China shop in one of Toronto’s more higher-end areas and its advertising the strength of their cups - that’s why its balancing on 4 cups.

The fact that no one called them out on this (when everyone has to be reverse-engineering one another) makes me think this isn’t isolated.

Huh? The Escalade doesn’t hold is value well as far as I know (even when adjusting for the fact that luxury vehicles in general don’t hold their value well):

I don’t know what you’re looking at. Its very obviously not red.

FWIW the CSX I think was only sold in Canada, and Honda Japan chose its design to use instead of the NA Civic design (not the other way around).

You’re totally right; I’m mixing it up with a different comparison.

He once rang one of the nicest press men in the business to express displeasure that a promised new model was no longer available at the right time.

They’re slowly getting better (I realize that’s a slightly outdated photo), but who looked at the concept below and decided “YES, LETS USE THIS AS OUR INSPIRATION”?!

I’d say they have one of the best. The Genesis is probably the most underrated car I’ve ever driven, the Santa Fe looks great, the Accent is a nice looking small car, and the Sonata isn’t too bad. The Veloster, though....

I haven’t driven the 2014, but I was VERY impressed by the 3.8 2015.

THEY NEVER PUT ENOUGH COOL RANCH SPICE ON IT. They need to make a 2x coated version.
