This chart is like the current car market in reverse. The first one is all sedans until the Rogue in 14th place. The second chart has its first non-sedan at 10th place and it’s a minivan. It doesn’t get its first CUV until 12th.

Um, that’s not upside down, that’s oriented the wrong way. I was picturing the plastic part upside down then with the buttons installed. Not the best descriptor here.

This is about Nationalism more than Religion. But whatever... Don’t let something as pesky as reality get in the way of your beliefs.

All our cars will be self-driving by the time this road is completed, right? RIGHT??? Therefore it’ll be a train of drafting self-driving vehicles running at 100mph. Essentially, a cheaper and more personal version of the rail train that they were planning on, anyway!

I think the buyer is missing the basic psychology here. Do you want a doctor who is your equal? Or do you want a doctor who is smarter than you? If I am hiring an architect, I definately want someone who has better taste than me. The Volvo, especially the interior, screams “architect’s car.” The Land Rover would also…

My car cannot be better than my clients

I agree, but I’ll tell you I see a LOT more 20 year old Nissans/Toyota/Hondas. When is the last time you saw a Diamante or Galant? It’s been a few years for me. I see a 3000GT every now and then but that’s because they look cool enough to keep them running.

Good article!

If it looks like the S40 concept from 18 months ago, I’m ok with this.

I mean, it’s not as if Volvo is particularly renowned for its hatchbacks. Save the guillotines for when they start killing off their wagons, I say.

The CC/Arteon is a world market car, the Passat is not, it’s broken into two platforms (US and the World).

Well your getting the VW Arteon.

You’ll never stop me from anthropomorphizing cars, or, really, almost anything. Also, you’re close to getting disinvited to my desk lamp’s Bar Mitzvah.

Agreed. All of those Mid-2000s Lexus are starting to hit that price range. Most have REAL high mileage (because duh, Lexus) but as an owner of a 2006 IS250, if you find a peach, scoop it up.

Hell, I thought that WAS an Aztek until I looked more closely.

2008 Lexus GS350; always thought they had a subdued, classy look to them, plus Toyota
