As someone who works in a dealership, in an admittedly very wealthy area, we almost exclusively sell Grand Tourings, with some Tourings, and very, very few Sport models. We stock what we sell, so <insert shrug figure here> ? You can always dealer trade/locate/order a lower end trim level if you want. Happy to do that…

My favorite part is definitely the over-optimistic 500 kph speedo. Great detail, even if unrealistic (I think?).

Actually, I’d lay this at the feet of the consumers, if you must blame someone. Auto makers just want to make money, and if people are buying crossovers, then by golly they’ll sell ‘em some crossovers. Even if a different option makes more sense.

Seats up the CX-3 has 12 cubic feet.

Not at our dealership, at least. We have had many, many people come in to look at the CX-3 and leave with a 3 hatch. It’s much bigger on the inside, the cargo area is almost twice the size, and the ergonomics are a bit better in the center console. Plus, it’s significantly cheaper for an equivalent trim level and has…

This is the greatest comment I’ve ever read on a Wednesday morning while at work.

Yeah, I’m nearly positive the 1971 Mustang isn’t much of a challenge for the “great European sports cars”.

I SAW ONE OF THESE TODAY! It was a black GLA45 AMG, and it was possibly the dumbest, ugliest car I’ve seen in years. WTF is the point of this particular vehicle? It looks like someone made an Allroad version of a 5 door hatchback and put wagon wheels on it. I just don’t understand, man, I just don’t understand.

Congratulations! That’s the stupidest thing I’ve seen someone do all day. Your prize, my ATV riding friend: many broken bones, a concussion, and road rash!

LONG LIVE WU TANG

Why don’t the front wheels match?

Simultaneously best and worst car: 1984 Dodge Ram Prospector. Passenger door would only open from the inside, the A/C didn’t work, 2nd gear dropped out (leaving me just 2 - that’s right, a 3-speed automatic in a vehicle from the mid-80s!), anemic 140-hp carbureted V8 engine, RWD instead of 4WD. Really, it was a piece…

This is an extremely ugly back end of a car/crossover/hatchback/thing.

The Mazda 6 is a beautiful flagship sedan both inside and out. Man, do I wish more people would buy them instead of a Camry or Accord.

Only if the road looks like this, but that’s primarily because of the other cars in the way. I drove home in this storm (Feb 1-2 2012, Chicago, about 20" of snow). My normal 15 minute commute took me almost 4 hours, but it was much better than being abandoned in the snow. Once I got home - at 2 am, mind you - I…

I mean, the weight’s over the drive wheels, which each appeared to be about 2 feet wide, which seemed helpful. And the streets are totally clear here. It was just kind of a weird sight, you know? Awesome, though!

I couldn’t think of a better place to tell this story, but since this is a Porsche entry, I suppose this will do.
