Luckily there is no possible way for this feature to be abused.

What would be awesome would be if they sold the cars the same way they rented them.

Ha!

*pulls out the old Kyosho Outrage ST-II*

I disagree wholeheartedly without reservation on number 3. It’s harder to have more fun in a new car for under 25k. If you don’t enjoy an Abarth you have no soul and no capacity for fun.

I’m feeling the same about my ‘10 Focus. It’s reliable AF, conditions is great, but worthless. Though my heart is pulling me to a CX-30 or CX-5, might was well keep driving it, and who knows what the next 6 mos will bring.

Keep the stupid Impala for a couple more years or as long as you need it. It’s not like it’s going to be any less valuable with 150K than it is now with 125K. And the routine maintenance stuff you’ve done has only increased its value by a couple hundred anyway. You’re not going to get that money back. IMO, when you spe…

Yeah don’t... don’t do that.

I guess I just wish whatever sound came into the cabin was an honest sound, know what I mean? I live in SoCal and all the other Volvo bros I talk to in the forums say I should go “catless,” but aside from how illegal that is? I don’t think I could stand the constant drone of that T5 growling all the time.

Haha, you mean because you wish it were always on or never on?

It sucks that “Loud Mode” is even a thing...

I also forgot to mention the BMW X4 M Competition, which I actually drove somewhat recently. (That’s what the comment section is for!)

In addition to my other comment here, let me state for the record: There is no shame in driving a crossover! It isn’t a damn minivan! Stop acting like it is some sort of automotive war crime! “Oh I deeply loathe crossovers...”. Why? Because they are highly useful vehicles that deliver luxury, performance and utility?

Ah yes, even I forget about the Alfa. 

“The Lamborghini Urus and Audi RS Q8 are larger, more expensive, and a lot angrier. The F-Pace SVR, a better-scaled rival, is far less dignified.”

And another thing that differentiated Lexus back in the day was the premium dealer experience. If I recall correctly, Lexus sent you flowers when you purchased a vehicle. Free loaner cars too I think. It was a big deal.

It’s not a rebranded Hyundai, the new G80 is on it’s own dedicated Genesis platform shared with the GV80.

It’ll all depend on how the lease deals look comparatively, no one actually buys mid range luxury cars now. I would expect depreciation to be worse than even a 5 series/A6/etc, time will tell though.

I don’t see how you can deny that
