You freak out over the truth about CRVs and RAV4s and then espouse the merits of a car that is objectively more interesting than either of them. You’re an odd duck. Do you honestly consider the CX5 to be in the same boring, gave-up-on-life category as the CRV and RAV4? I mean, they’re not super far off, but at least…

lol

I think the difference is that if they aren’t offering appliances in the colors at the time, the colors really aren’t defining the age. If appliance makers had jumped on that hyper color trend instead of just clothing makers, then I’d agree it was the 80's signature colors, but they didn’t. They sold boring white…

Two glaring issues here. The #6 on a goddamed Chevy and TikTok. The rest, very interesting.

And, ignoring the whole dieselgate bullshit, they also have a less bat-shit annoying CEO. Don’t get me wrong, I like what Musk is doing, but he’s a huge asshole. His GF calling herself “Grimes” while also always looking like she’s covered in grime is kind of funny, though.

I don’t find the idea of an iced turd any more appealing than a fresh one. There’s no way Toyota isn’t clowning their fans with that acronym.

The issue is wrapping your mind around the mentality it takes for a person to be willing to put down that kind of money for an uninspiring appliance (or hang that kind of debt on themselves, more likely). There’s simply too many more interesting vehicles to choose from that don’t as furiously wave the white flag at…

That was an awful lot of effort wasted. I’m not OP, but I still feel OP’s question, when not being pedantic to the point of obnoxious about it, is valid enough. 

Dash lights = No Dice

You’re trying to be sarcastic, but it’s a valid question. The manufacturers are nothing if not stubbornly set in their ways. Preparing for a downturn, even if the UAW is there to be a thorn about it, is still a good idea but they can almost assuredly, to the last, be expected not to do it.

Even with a dryer, if you’re thinking a bidet alone is sufficient for getting the backside clean, you’re mistaken and should always take a swipe at that with TP or baby wipes before concluding your business. Trust me, your doggy style partners will really appreciate it.

Came to say the same. AWD is a deal breaker, never mind all the other things this car has going on that also make it a ND.

If you have an eye for cars, which admittedly I believe no CUV owner does, but if you do, you see that this is at least different and not a CRV or RAV4. That’s enough in my book for a car rag to call it “bold” considering the rest of the hot garbage being spewed into the maw of American consumerism is just that, hot…

Relax Edgelord, it’s a wagon in high heels. We all get it, but that’s the direction the industry has been taking for so long to continue trying to resist it is futile. It’s time to accept it.

I hate crossovers, but this is at least mildly interesting. I’d take this over a CRV (the official ‘white flag’ of life) or the RAV4 (the official ‘I can’t accept that I’m flying a white flag at life’ of life).

It certainly couldn’t be anything related to the US’s woefully pathetic driver’s ed courses, or some states overly restrictive enforcement prior to the pandemic. Nope, not at all.

While I agree with you on principle, it also needs to be kept in mind that tires are one of, if not the most important safety item on your car (some Bronco drivers from the 1990s learned this hard way; some didn’t get the chance to learn it until it was too late) so if you aren’t 100% sure you plugged it properly, you …

The problem is that people like us that grew up around, and fell in love with ICE powered cars and simply aren’t in tune with the way electric powered cars present their soul, so I think this makes a lot of us mistake that for them being soulless. I don’t believe electric cars are soulless, I just believe that I’m too…

I’m having a hard time seeing how ‘murder’ was upheld in a fair trial. Manslaughter with an added charge of reckless discharge of a firearm-death resulting? Absolutely. Breaking and entering with a deadly weapon? Throw that on there too. Hit her with every crime she committed, I’m all for it...what I’m not for is a…
