I’ve had a Karmann Ghia on the brain for a couple months now, but figured I’d need to do a Subie swap to really enjoy it. This could be a much better option.

My second car was the same as my first, but without all the stupidity.

High mileage, and you’re going to have to spend a bunch of money getting rid of the vape shop exhaust and putting the suspension back to normal. Not to mention that the mods involved are basically a neon sign saying “this car has been beaten.”

Yeah, maybe stop that then :)

And bring the global Yaris to America, Toyota.

I will never understand the logic behind designing a brilliant, versatile concept that would sell like hotcakes, then saying “we’re not doing that, here’s a goofy embarrassment nobody wants to be seen in, that’s the one we’re really selling.”

Fifteen minutes of video, so a guy who thinks he’s funny* can dress up in a chicken outfit, then make us stare into his face while he talks and talks and talks, when it could have been a deeply satisfying 90 second clip of windshield wipers moving to the beat

I’ve never heard the words “Citroën SM” and “cheap” go together. Do tell…

I guess that’s my point—I don’t see how the Navigator is comparable to an S-class. Is it actually a better vehicle in any way than a Palisade?

Serious question: what makes the Lincoln Navigator $70,000 better than a Hyundai Palisade?

Counterpoint:

I’m driving a Model S right now, and the infotainment & electronics are some of the worst I’ve ever seen on a modern car. Absolute usability disaster, and not particularly reliable.

Coming from Volvo, I expect it to be a much more refined car than a Tesla, and a better choice to actually live with for several years. 

During the dot-com crash of the early 2000s, I was commuting from NYC to Kissimmee, Florida because the only job I could find was as a contractor for Disney. They flew me down every Monday, and home every Friday.

It’s so beautiful, as if Citroën designed a Nissan.

“Best” for me would be the Austin FX4, because the doors could be reached from the front seat, allowing the cab driver to open a passenger’s door without getting out of the driver’s seat.

Should you ever use the defense “that word was totally normal in apartheid South Africa where I grew up?”

Are suicide doors really so expensive to implement?

If Gizmodo ran an article that said “black woman caught doing crime thing” people would be justifiably in arms about promoting prejudices with irrelevant details.
