This is not the car to cater to your desires, but it is a great way to meet your needs. It’s a car. Being a wagon adds utility.

“It’s shared with the old 200 Series as well”

One of the rare instances where I like the US grille better.

For those wondering, the rest of the world gets a more modern looking fascia for when this is sold as the Land Cruiser Prado.

“AM radio is an essential communication tool during emergencies”

Just about everyone here wants the exact opposite of what mainstream buyers do. Every star your comment gets should be taken as evidence that EVs need to get bigger.

Your comment makes zero sense. Z71 packages on midsize SUV’s are not killing anyone. If you want to advocate for something, advocate for Distracted Driving to be punished with the same Vigor as Drunk Driving.

It has both Car Play and Android Auto capability.

It’s perfectly fine, but it makes me so happy seeing this and knowing it must really bug a few of those obnoxious “contributors” to jalopnik. You know the ones , the finger wagging one’s up on their pedestals telling us all our cars are too big and too dangerous. I hope this sells like hotcakes 

I’m not seeing how this connects to Dobbs or Roe. Plus it takes place in California, which hasn’t changed its policies on access to abortion rights or healthcare. If anything it has strengthened those rights.

ANother way to frame it is that this case is in California. Dobbs has had zero effect on California’s state laws.  

I have the same struggle. If you want to talk about what a post-Dobbs world looks like, it’s probably wise to choose a case that was charged and prosecuted after Dobbs as opposed to over a year before the decision. There’s no evidence here that CA prosecutors would be treating this case any differently if Roe were…

I see two outcomes:

Running bottles and cans out to Michigan for the 10 cents wasn’t working so this was his next scheme.

I’m sorry that doesn’t make any sense. 

Newer Mazda engine covers have always been pretty easy to remove. The engine cover on my 2017 has 4 rubber mounting holes, and is a pull-off/press-on design with no fasteners to turn. Depending on why I’m removing the engine cover, I would prefer a pull-off design over the hinged version.

Mazda should be applauded for making an engine cover that’s easier to move out of the way. Sadly modern engine with plastic manifolds and cam covers and miles of wiring have become ugly messes best covered up.

Got diamonds in my wedding ring for more than 30 years. This King is way ahead of the sparkle curve.

This is dramatized clickbait. The car was successfully able to note a sudden obstruction in the road, which is a good thing. You can’t expect the car to magically be able to stop faster than it is already capable of. If anything, I would assume it was able to notice the dog and get on the brakes sooner than a human…
