There is zero chance in hell that these Hyundais and Kias, regardless how nice they are, will have the resell of a Toyota or Lexus. Zero chance. 

“So what should you do if you are interested in the Palisade or Telluride? The answer is simple: wait.” 

I’m a bad writer and would have never went to journalism school, so I won’t be able to write a goodbye like you just did. But, thank you for your articles over the years, from your earlier motorsports stuff (even though I never really enjoyed Nascar) and more.

“but the market pretty much drives this opinion to be the dominant one. Just look at the sales numbers of RWD-biased SUVs (and even large E-seg luxury cars if you like) before you try to prove me wrong.”

Aside from being wrong on the GV80, I’d like to introduce you to the Lexus RX lineup.

They’re advocating the great Goomba genocide in these promotional material. Monsters! 

Semmler back to CS babyyyyy! 

You recommend really poor advice, sir. 

Tencent is incredibly influential, and since they own things like WeChat, they have a poop ton of information on everyone in China.  

I don’t think it’s ugly, it just looks like something Buick would have designed back in 2010. 

Of course not. I’m fully aware that electrification is the future, whether it’s EV or fuelcell is still up for debate though.

10 years make a hell of a difference man.

5,000lb is what a Toyota Highlander tows, there are people who need to tow a lot more than that. 

So for those that need a towing rig that can carry people, what do you suggest they get that isn’t powered by “ancient ICE technology”.

I’m disappointed, I was really hoping for Disc Golf Story instead... xD

Tesla’s dream was bright and sunny, a place where everyone had and did nice things

You’re right that China isn’t the same now as 35 years ago, but their social credit system is very real. The restricted travel, restricted employment and constant surveillance that D. Walker talked about is a thing if you don’t follow the CCP’s rules.

China has a unique bit structure to actually enforce stuff like this. Unlike the us, the chinese have a national firewall that filters all internet connectivity. They also do not allow encryption without the government having the keys. So in their society, they could actually pull that off... whether they should or…

Right? It would be so natural. Or at least give us the option like in Splatoon.

This does sound better. My biggest issue with the franchise has also been controls, this helps with that.
