I feel like trims like Denali, Kind Ranch, & High Country are really what killed Buick in that realm. With how you can option an “economy” and how low entry level luxury vehicles have gotten, there really isn’t a market for companies like Buick anymore.

I have multiple coworkers with a Stinger, Equus, used King Ranch, or similar for that very reason.

Sounds like they will turn their thing into a mantle, as opposed to a family thing, like the first 2 indicate. So it will be like an Irish Crow, but they don’t have to die first.

Engineering nerds like to watch the wings adjust. 

Depending on the clientele, too good of an image can be just as bad. I had a Cadillac rental once and it was constant shit talking about how overpaid we are or how we need to do more for what we cost, even though everyone knew it was a rental and my company gets discounted rates. It also didn’t matter that the F250s…

That was my guess too, along with where the budget comes from. We have some people that do mileage like that between all of our clients and they get to choose between rentals or the company just cuts a check for car & insurance so the driver can (mostly) get what they want. 

To be fair, have you been to a Kia dealer before?

And it better be Will Ferrell who’s controlling the computer.

With it only being an inch longer, I doubt it. I’ve had the QX80 & Armada as rentals and that cramped interior relative to tank exterior really keeps it a notch below the Tahoe/Yukon. If you’re not towing, just about any full size 3-row SUV is a better choice for cheaper too.

It depends, does the law stop someone from selling the data to a company incorporated on a Carribean Island who then sells it to anyone they want?

I feel like Lexus really undersells their NA V8 offerings. They’re the only non-American sports car pushing them out and they seem to be well likely by anyone who remembers they exist. 

It’s one of the things I hate about visiting family on the west coast. They all live in various rural mountain/woodsy areas and I am constantly getting tailgated for not hitting some blind corner doing 60. I don’t consider myself a slow driver in most cases, but I know that when I’m on an unfamiliar backroad those…

Bold assumption that no one has ever brought this up to the operating DOT, especially since the police have been called there on multiple occasions. Until the cost of sending cops out there outweighs whatever changes need to happen so people slow down, it is unlikely the municipality in charge will do anything.

The loneliness comment made me think the study was written by old people who complain about there being too many deviants. Is it really that hard to see why happiness is going down while housing/education/healthcare skyrocket relative to wages and our political discourse revolves around 80-year-old geriatrics that can…

stuff like washing patients, changing their diapers,

There are quite a few wavers that don’t actually protect from a lawsuit, but still make it much more difficult and time consuming (like the always popular forced arbitration clauses). While I’m sure there will still be court losses, the people running hospital are going weight how much those are versus how much…

My wife (a nurse) and some of her coworkers are actively interviewing new jobs because her hospital is trialing shit like this to replace nurses. Specifically, they are trying to use this on a tablet in order to explain a patient’s discharge & medication orders so they can get rid of the people who do that and/or use…

That’s why I went to a credit union. I showed the dealer my terms to see if they could beat it and they laughed and didn’t even want to try. 

My company has probably hired 100+ people nationwide because their company required a return to office. A few awesome people on my team because of it. My tinfoil hat theory is that some RTO mandates like this double as a chance to reduce the workforce without having to announce layoffs.

They don’t have it here, but it is 19-20 city & 28-29 highway for the 2.5T. The hybrid doesn’t have EPA numbers yet. The 2023 1.6 hybrid, was 36 city & 31 highway, so probably in line with those numbers.
