It still surprises me how hundreds of people can agree that something hideous is actually good.
Because that’s essentially what happened.The designers,middle management,focus groups and upper management all somehow agreed this was a great idea.

Now I don’t work in marketing, but ragging on the people most likely to be able to afford your product seems counter-intuitive.

Anyone else here have to look up who Justin Long is and what he looks like?

This was my comment on your previous post regarding this monstrosity:

For what it’s worth, David, I think you’re plenty handsome.  

Exactly. Not on autopilot (for nearly a minute before the crash) and the driver’s foot was on the throttle. This is a bad driver story, not a Tesla story. The only reason we’re talking about it is because Teslas have cameras built in and they capture bad driver behavior and go viral.

The speed differential is so massive the Civic almost looks like it’s standing still at the time of impact. I wonder, had Autopilot stayed on, if the Tesla would have changed lanes on its own quickly and safely enough?

Hmm.

“MazdaSpeed” does sound a bit juvenile if they are pushing up market, but go with a more subdued MSE badging - Mazda Speed Engineering, or similar. Or how about “Rx” branding, it’s a throw back and because you need a prescription for the speed! Also means ‘recipe’ in Latin (hence the Rx on med bottles) so it’s a…

It also has a clock to tell you when the toaster strudels are done

I’ll bet they spec the RAV4 with some random combination of options that make it the same price or slightly more than the Nissan but with fewer useful features. Something like adding extra floormats or the tow package (that no one will use or ask about) or the $500 special paint option that adds no capability to the…

Will it be apples to apples or will it be base-model RAV4 vs higher trim Rogue? That can still work if they say, this is what you get for your money with them vs us - it’s what Hyundai and Kia basically do - but still.

The Rav4 is probably the base model that is filled with the farts of a hundred salesmen. 

Everyone knows the rules, you only draw a penis or a smiley face.

“I’m sorry you’re offended by my behavior. I also have black friends, so I’m totally not racist.”

This is the ugliest thing out of BMW literally ever.

Sorry to latch on to yours- reply button not coming on.  It looks like it just bit into a lemon from dead on front.

That front end hurts to look at. Interior reminds me of the Fisker Karma, which I can’t say if that’s a good thing or bad.

I feel like Shmee was the good natured rich kid in middle school with no friends because everyone was mean to him. I feel like the hate directed towards him is unjustified and mean spirited. But also, i’m not about to volunteer to hang out with that guy either....

You only know how fast you’re going based on your speedometer (which is very likely wrong at higher speeds).
