Also, why are we calling it a crossover? It is just a mid-size SUV. Nothing crossover about it.

I’m glad I just bought the 2023. IMO it has a much prettier front end than the incoming model.

Thanks. I know.

Or you could buy this one for 1/4 the price. Better specs and not give money to an evil piece of shit.

The big frunk is a critical component of safety. You want a big crumple zone up there no matter if it’s an empty frunk or a space for an engine.

The VW actually doesn’t do it any better, It just has a big sloped window covering where the hood would be, IE, unusable interior space.

Minivans are cool. As a car person there is just something magical about something so perfectly utilitarian. Anyone criticizing minivans is just a slave to groupthink. The current slate of vans, the Toyota Sienna, Chrystler Pacifica, the Kia Carnival, and now this Volvo are just amazing.
Anyone buying a 3 row SUV…

Enjoy your commute. You will never convince more than 1% of the public that this is worth it. And we shouldn’t design infrastructure for 1%. 

New York has winter. Boston has winter. Chicago has winter. Philadelphia has winter. These are not bike all year cities. And the heat is anther issue as you’ve pointed out. The point is that it makes no sense to design infrastructure around transportation that cannot be relied about year round. Busses, Trains, and…

They should have national bike to work day in January so that they can see why it doesn’t make sense for people to depend on bikes as their only method of commuting.

It will be nice when Kia ultimately loses its battle with Massachusetts so that I can get KiaConnect and KiaAccess enabled on my car. It’s a stupid pissing match and Kia’s argument that it would expose customer location data to bad parties just shows that they don’t have proper authentication or encryption on that…

I have a 2023 Kia Sorento and Safeco Insurance. They had no problem with my KIA on my bundled home/umbrella/auto policy and my auto rate is <$1500 a year for 2 cars and 2 drivers.

I feel like this is more than just the Kia. I think they are lying about their driving history.
“Russell was quoted $7500 a year to insure…

Painful watching you use slip joint plyers to install the pedals.

Keep the Buick, the 912E, and the Neon.

Get rid of everything else.

Yes. Massachusetts has the best state inspection. It is rigorous for all the parts that matter, suspension, brakes, wheel bearings, tires, etc.

This you dumbass?

So you STOP?! Yes, that is incompetent. If the cars are going highway speed there will be room between the cars. If they are going slow due to congestion, you’ll have plenty of time to signal and squeeze in.

No. If they were going the speed of traffic they wouldn’t have needed to stop, they would have found an opportunity to blend. The reason a person couldn’t find an in is that the speed differential once they got to the end of the ramp made it impossible.

The best offroader in the world is a sub $1500 shitbox.
The fastest car in the world is any rental car.

YES. I would love a Trailhawk Pacifica

Not getting up to highway speed by the end of the on ramp.

Your car should be matching traffic (or even a little faster so you can find a hole) BEFORE the ramp meets the lanes.

I will drive completely up your asshole if you are doing 40 at the end of the ramp.
