Toyota says it’s a Supra.  Ergo, it’s a Supra.  You might not agree - but that’s 100% Toyota’s call.

No you didn’t. 

Regular ICE cars are also appliances.

I might get some hate for this one, but ALL Luxury brands... at least the more common ones like BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Cadillac, Acura, Infinity and such. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a luxury brand that actually felt like it was worth the extra money over what is available from “more affordable” brands.…

This smells strongly like a mechanic’s lien vehicle - the seller was originally contracted to restore the car, but then the original owner lost interest, ran out of money or died - and the shop is trying to recoup the money they have outlaid.

Building EV’s in a quantity that is enough to largely replace all ICE’s isn’t possible right now. Using batteries to make Hybrids and PHEV’s now and working on battery tech is a better idea. We can produce more Hybrid/PHEV’s to replace more ICE’s more quickly and reduce emission faster than going full EV.

I sort of “get” why Toyota has been slow on introducing EVs. Their entire brand identity is in making not-so-exciting vehicles that will last 20+ years and run for 250-300,000+ miles without a problem. They keep the same engines and drivetrains for decades on end because once the design is perfected there’s no…

If you are just leasing, the other options have some traction.  If you are buying and planning on keeping it beyond the warranty period then you are out of your mind to buy the G wagon or Land Rover anything.

They’re not that off the mark. Reliability has improved but it’s still a Land Rover which means it’s not going to be at the Japanese level. And the way the Defender was designed means that it’s a lot harder to deal with issues in the field in comparison. That’s why they’re less suitable for overland than previous…

I love the Defender 110 and the GX. But only one of them will rarely have to see the dealer for work.

I’m excited to see what the 4Runner version of this platform looks like

Yeah, fuck affordable EVs! Volvo needs to stay niche! Would hate to see more Volvos, then it wouldn’t be special to own one anymore.

“All of this worries me, because I like Volvo, the Volvo that was happy to toil away out of the spotlight.” ROFL really? You are essentially saying, “Volvo I want you to faill financially AGAIN, because selling low volume cars worked so well the last time around.”

But...it’s a business. Volvo continuing to exist is a thing I would like more than it being overtly esoteric. Let us never forget SAAB.

How can people, in the age of the internet, somehow still buy VWs and think they will never have a problem?  Baffles the hell out of me 

i posted mine beofre i read all the comments - but i also posted about how a Passat turned me off of VW forever with its repair bills.

Tesla - Because Elon can go to hell. Elon aside, Teslas aren’t assembled well, and they’re ugly.

Volkswagen. Never again.

i think the fact that other car makers are mass producing EV’s that aren’t built like shit will take him down, but this won’t help

You know, I’m starting to think that Elon Musk might be kind of a bad person.
