These things were being discounted to $35k at the end of last year, and qualified for the $7500 credit. Some states (like NJ) also offered $4k on top. for a total of $11.5k in credits. That puts a new one at $23.5k. I’m not sure $16-18k for something with 80-90k miles on it is a deal.

That said, I have extended family…

Boeing management seems to want to do everything on the cheap. They came up with a hacked together new plane and called it a 737 in order to avoid costs associated with certifying a new plane. They outsourced manufacturing to the apparently unscrupulous lowest bidder in a deep red right to work state in order to screw…

LED light bars that blind everyone

Is this the “thirst traps” all the kids are talking about these days?

This feels like a water bottle version of crypto or NFT’s and there is no way this happens without TikTok.

Unfortunately the teaser photos show that the refreshed GTI still seems to rely on those touch-sensitive temperature and fan speed adjustments

Silly dealer markups are entering a new....

I was driving behind one, and man it is deceptively huge, like just as big as a G-wagon and as long as an F150. The whole time I was thinking, “is the sun going to shine it’s rays on it’s naked body panels and blind me”, and “How the F*** can the driver see out the thing?”.

I respect the RATM lyric reference in the sub-headline.

The older I get, the more allergic I am to vehicles solely meant to flaunt wealth.

Any lifted full size pickup.

Most SUV coupes - someone chose to pay more for a less practical, uglier version of the landcow sitting across the showroom.

Looks like someone used the European map of the US. 

Bring back lowered trucks! I get the male need to have a giant truck to prove your masculinity, but lowered trucks just aren’t as dumb...usually. haha

Counterpoint - bring back extended cabs with little jump seats. They’re probably not viable between side airbags and modern child seats, but these might’ve been the coolest thing to ride in when I was little. And, if we’re designing trucks around what’s fun to kids (a perfectly rational design ethos), it really means…
