Cowboys fans likely.  They get the swiftest of punishments in Philly.

That Jetta R line does look enticing, but the photos show it has ~4600 miles.  Lousy dealers gaming the search engines.

I stated this in another thread, but for some reason the Taos has a $600 higher destination charge on the VW configurator. Out the door price is basically the same. But point well taken that in the US, there really is no savings for getting the car. What I can’t say is if the Golf is built more solidly than a small…

That’s a little surprising.  Maybe the Golf comes with more discounts than an SUV in the US to make that premium more explicit.

It’s a little tricky, but for some reason the destination charge on a base Taos shows up as $600 more expensive than for a base Golf for me, so they’re the same price.  Base Golf has a 6 spd, so really, it’s a great deal in comparison.

I like the look of the Taos.  It’s probably the closest thing I can get now to the wagon I want.  

Can confirm that the prius is a prime target in metro Boston. Plenty parked on the street getting hit. 

I doubt they're missing out on revenue with prices like this. I'm sure they'd love this level of scarcity and lack of price competition to continue I definitely. 

I'm 6'4" and drive Mazda 3. With nobody behind me, it's pretty comfy, plenty of legroom. Only small children should sit behind me though. 

Welcome to the realization.  Here’s part 23 of Hubert Horan’s takedown of the scam and labor law arbitrage that is these shitcos: https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2020/08/hubert-horan-can-uber-ever-deliver-part-twenty-three-ubers-already-hopelessly-unprofitable-economics-take-a-major-coronavirus-hit.html

The taxi industry successfully fought off unionization and turned cabbies into independent contractors that kept what they earned after leasing the cab from the co. and probably slipping some cash to dispatch for good calls.  It was okay, but not great before Uber/Lyft.  Those shitcos figured out how to inject more…

Elon is lying to cover up for cheapening his cars and deleting features in the face of  a chip shortage.  The radar delete is a far more serious misdeed, but hey we logged the lumbar support, sure!

My wife’s Uncle always had a BMW 7 series.  He said it was the most comfortable ride for the tall set (he’s about 6'3").

Bingo. I have a buddy with a Cape house. He tows his boat twice a year, beginning and end of season a total of about 20 miles. He tows nothing else all year. 

Announced in Nov 2019, nowhere near production.  Remind me how their Semi is going?  Or the Roadster?  The announcements are about keeping the share price high, not about any sort of strategy.

I always figured the Mazda engineering team to be team Hitachino Nest.

I want it! What’s even the point of NAFTA if I can’t have it!?

I agree that the Pallisade has grown on me over time too.  I find them quite good looking, especially with the right wheels and that dark green color.  I’m a hatchback and wagon guy though, I just don’t like driving such big vehicles routinely.  When the family and I take a long road trip though?  I always rent some…

There are a coterie of analysts who indirectly track this via state level vehicle registration data.  Here’s one NYT article covering sales trends in the US with models and a few states called out: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/22/business/tesla-sales.html

It’s a frustrating point of vehicle choices here regarding a bit more space and fuel economy. I dream of EU VWs:
