I thought the same thing as I read down the list of reliability issues. Everything but the seats!

+1 for the Top Gear USA props.  They get a lot of grief being compared to the original, but it was a hell of an entertaining show, and entertainment is what its about.  

Granted, it was merely half that size, but driving across NM one time with 60mph gusting crosswinds we nailed a monster tumbleweed head on in our old Impreza (3 bikes on the roof meant we could barely hit 60 floored in those conditions). The tumbleweed was unavoidable...wasn’t there, then it was. Broke a couple of…

I thought I found a really good deal on one but then this is what arrived...

If I had the cash I’d have a garage full of them

Like you said, perfect on paper. Out of curiosity I checked the local dealer’s site to see what the hybrid AWD version of these are going for. Same price as the hybrid AWD version of the Rav4

Any answer other than yours just seems like entitlement. Game over, we can all go home.

Not the sub 30k Tesla?  That’s fictional.  

Infiniti EX 35? It’s what he likes about his current car but in a smaller, easier to park package.  +/- 300 hp with better power to weight than the FX.  

I just really hate to get gas. I’d rather go to the grocery store than the gas station, at least I feel like I’m walking away with something. With gas, you pay your money and it just gets blown out the tail pipe.

Yeah, getting where you want to go on time and only getting 40 mpg.  That’s gotta suck.

But the white ones look like Belugas!

The locals would have just told you “This road don’t go to Aintry. You done taken a wrong turn”

That I’ve never heard of such a thing makes me proud of my demographic.

Looking out of the window at the earth and clouds is one of the most beautiful things a human will ever see, but people seem to forget this.

I had mentally picked the van (mom drives one) and the Equinox (uncle drives one).  My third wasn’t a classic under a tarp, it was a Lexus RX in gold, because demographics.

Yeah, mine was white with black stripes down the hood. “Sidewinder” edition. Recaros, Hurst 4 speed, gold BBS style wheels, plenty of rust, and evidently A/C (which does seem weird for a ‘70's eco-import). Along with all of those features it also had the “vapor lock” package, so summers lasted that much longer.

I had a suh-weet ‘78 VW Scirocco with a broken AC compressor in the middle of a Kansas City summer. For whatever reason rolling down the windows did NOTHING to ventilate the interior, so I kept an old folder in my car to stick out the window to direct airflow toward me as I drove. I loved that car but it was a…

That’s always been my confusion...why AREN’T there more competitors?
