I wonder if the soft demand for this vehicle (especially when compared to a Telluride) is because of the poor state of the charging infrastructure, so far, in the US. This is ostensibly a ‘family vehicle’ and deservedly marketed as such. Since a lot of people buy these to have the capability (whether actually used or…

Not me. I have been to a few circuit races. They universally suck to spectate. Better off watching at home on a nice big TV.

I’m a Vegas lover, and F1 fan, and when they first announced this race I told my wife I wanted to do whatever it took to be there. I didn’t even need a race ticket; I would have been content to watch on the TV in the hotel room as the cars zoomed by outside. I just wanted to be there and experience the vibe.

“...a $500 “general admission” ticket, featured no views of the track itself; instead, you’d hang out with a bunch of other F1 fans in a convention center and watch the race on TV.”

This sounds like a person who will never be a productive member of society and is, in fact, a major threat to the safety of others. He should be locked up for life with no probation.

Doors like this on anything other than a supercar is fucking stupid.

Most of the players may be in the 18-24 bracket, but vast majority of the rest are in the 13-18 bracket. Neither of these groups are buying new cars in any significant amounts if at all, especially not BMWs.

My condolences to the owner for having to wait another two years before they can have a replacement to immediately flip.

It is very hard to get a picture of it to look how it looks to the eye. Especially with an iPhone. 

4th gear: I agree lighter batteries are a good thing.

Weird. Normal people don’t want to buy a $50k car with 7% interest rates, tech that’s outdated faster than a modern smartphone, a business model that’s constantly pushing microservices, and tracks all your movements with no way to opt out or find out where that information is going?

I think the ford maverick is a good starting point but you can tell that the maverick is not targeted at your “tradition” truck buyer. Ford openly says they want the maverick to be everyone’s first truck. 

So. Many. Fingerprints.

Let me start by saying I’ve owned several of these in sedan trim. They are fantastic cars that still manage to look and drive modern-ish without diluting the driving experience or muffling too much of that wonderful 5 pot sound. And when maintained, they are pretty reliable and capable of the big 6 figure mileages.…

I’ve seen gasoline car fires several times. Shoot, I’ve help put them out a couple times. Not saying that EV fires are complex, but a gasoline car fires can be a pain too.

Such drama. We’re incredibly early in the EV adoption process. I bet there were people in 1923 who wouldn’t be able to imagine a world built around the internal combustion engine. “Who’s gonna make millions of miles of paved roads? You? And oil? Good Lord, there isn’t enough oil in the earth’s crust to fuel a billion…

I feel like I should care about this much more than I do. Like I appreciate that it’s basically the equivalent of a GT3 RS for drag racing, but you can already see the writing on the wall. We’re going to see innumerable articles about how dealers are marking them up, one is going to sell at BJ for like $2.5M for some…

Enthusiasts: We want manual cars!

Acura: Here you go

Enthusiasts: But now it won’t sell! Aw you killed it. Grumble grumble Crossovers grumble

Re: German cup holders. No, they don’t believe you should be drinking while you’re cruising down the autobahn at over 100 mph. Most BMW cupholders are easy to break, especially if they are of the pop-out variety.
