It’s not a circle jerk to be able to look at a bathtub curve of reliability and a depreciation curve and see that the suckers are buying new, eating the heaviest depreciation period, and filtering out all the lemons.

YES.

I know Lada’s are unreliable but the odds of this seem off.

Am I the only one that thinks the etron grill is terrible and cheap looking? It looks like a single piece of stamped steel thats been chromed. Like something you’d find on ebay for $40+shipping.

Correct. you cannot stop an asshole driver. Do you know what can? Airbags. crumple zones. Seat belts. Safety glass. 

Motorcycles are significantly more dangerous. The only number that says otherwise are the odds of dying in a motorcycle accident per population, which is not a valid since it only counts motorcycle deaths against population instead of motorcycle deaths against motorcycle riders. 

Your phone and internet will not kill someone if you don’t understand how to operate it. Cars are death machines and every one of them is different. READ THE G D MANUAL.

I guess the deciding factor is how many times your salary do you carry in Life insurance? If it’s enough to support your family without you then sure, keep risking and riding. If it is less than say 3x, I feel very comfortable calling you selfish.

Since when? There are a TON of sacrifices you need to make when you start a family. Giving up high risk activities should be pretty high on that list.

K. I’ll go comment on an article unrelated to people dying on motorcycles.

I can’t understand taking the risk of riding a motorcycle. I REALLY can’t understand taking the risk of riding a motorcycle when you have a 3 and 6 year old at home. And finally, if you are selfish enough to take those risks, why wouldn’t you have one hell of an insurance policy so that you family doesn’t have to…

Any ad that references the bs JD Power awards would not be “amazing”. 

Nobody gives a shit about JD Power.

I think they’re going for the same type of thing that the porsche cayenne accomplished. Take a sports car everyone likes and recognizes, and apply the design language to a platform that a family man who can’t justify a coupe can buy.

THANK YOU! Wayyy too many people count tires, brakes, filters, bushings, O2 sensors, transmission fluid, anything that isn’t an oil change as a “repair”. That is MAINTENANCE. Sure, if you only keep a car for 30k miles then you’ll never have to do that maintenance, but all of these are standard upkeep that every car…

What problems did you have with your LR3? A few grand a year is excessive. I think my maintenance costs have averaged to <$700/yr over 11 years.

I’ve owned the LR3 for 11 years and it just clocked over 170k miles. Electronics are all good. Ford really turned things around during the brief period they owned LR in the early 2000s. They cleaned up all of the major faults and failures you see in 90s rovers.

Yep. Great truck. Looks new. runs great. Handsome inside and out.

All of these things existed 10 years ago. My point is that there is no reason to buy a new 2018 when you can keep an older car or buy a used car that still has most of these features.

LR3 is great. Engine is a bulletproof Jaguar 4.4L. Only 2 reliablity issues really.
