When we bought my wife’s R56 we shopped the Fiesta and the Yaris as well. The Fiesta had way too much windshield too little structure in front of us to make us feel comfortable in the event of hitting a deer - worried we’d have a thrashing deer body in our face (but we also lost a family friend who was kicked in the…

Not that I can recall since the 90's but the Britten V1000 ran circles around the competition

Except for the BMW 1250GS, K1600, and Honda Goldwing.

I think Mazda has been the closest to a graceful design for a hatchback.

I’m not sure I would want a FWD hatchback Jag, now a small RWD shooting brake, different story. Oddly enough, I’m a fan of the F-Pace, I think it successfully embodies Grace, Space, and Pace, I am struggling to think of a single compact hatch that executed grace well, not even the Golf or A-Class. Maybe Alfa had one…

Jesus Christ my lower back hurts just looking at that thing: forward controls and clip-ons?! Who’s supposed to ride this, a banana? CP.

It really is not a bad looking vehicle. It’s closer to Wagon then Crossover SUV. If they have to call it a crossover to sell, then whatever, still close enough to a wagon to satiate my tastes. Still love the I.D Space Vizzion the most, but if this is the best we get I can deal.  Would even finally consider plunking my…

Seller was at $4,000, given the peeling clear coat on the hood, soft clutch, and common seat twist issue - I offered $3k, he wouldn’t budge, I’d have been willing to part with up to $3,500 for it, any more and quickly I’d be into the car for far more than it was worth just in parts for the clutch and paint labor.

I really think that car was peak BMW.

Exactly, all depends on how much “wiggle room” the seller has. At the end of the day, I’d feel comfortable spending $4,500 on this, and not much more, seller would probably see that as a low-ball.

I missed out on a nice clean E39 530i with manual and M-Sport package last year, seller wouldn’t budge on price and we were…

Good catch, didn’t realize it came with two sets of wheels, that *almost* brings it to NP for me though.  Still, if I were looking at this, I don’t think I’d part with more than 5k for it.

Nah, for me, crack pipe is peddling something that is either a total basket case (or likely to be one), or asking way outside the going market for a car, in this case asking 10k for this would be a clear cut crack pipe. $6.5k isn’t out of the realm of possibility for what this car could bring, but to me it seems…

Its not quite a crack pipe, but the seller is asking about two grand too much. 

I wanted to argue with you on wagons and towing capacity, with my brain going to how phenomenal the Road Master was at towing, but I looked up the tow ratings of the wagons out there on the market right now and they either are not approved by the manufacturer to tow, or are rated for 1,650 lbs (Volvo V60) or less - the…

I find the Edge, Blazer, and Passport to be in an awkward segment as well, but given the shear number of Edge’s I see everywhere, it’s gotta be just the right size for many people.

I’d imagine it’s perfect for families with one or two kids between 12 and 16 that want the second row to have more space, don’t want a…

Colorado or Canyon with the 2.8l diesel! Narrow, rated for 7500 lbs. This from a Ford guy. Ranger wouldn’t be bad either. Would avoid any of the current V6 mid-size trucks, not enough low-end to be comfortable with towing a boat up a wet ramp

From personal experience, 50+ year old airplane should be on the list of poverty inducing inheritance. Still less damning then a horse though 

Inline 6: BMW M88, Jaguar XK6, 2JZ, BMW S54, Ford 300 straight six, Chrysler Slant-Six, honestly - there are so many ‘legendary’ straight sixes

Flat 6: Porsche M97.74 4.0l, 911.83 - 2.7l used in the Carrera RS, Porsche 930.60 - the first 911 Turbo motor

While Harley’s tend to be big fat pigs, they do at least carry much of their weight down low, I found riding an 800 lb Harley to be far less intimidating then I thought it would be.

I’m not sure a gyroscope is necessarily the correct avenue to pursue for newer and older riders, if it’s cutting out at 3 mph, then you’re…

If I’m on a divided highway, I’m not turning my vehicle around, to do so would put myself and my family at risk as I get away from the protesters. I will proceed at walking pace through the protest, however, as soon as the protest turns into an angry mob attacking my vehicle my life and that of my family is in danger…
