They’re both ugly as sin afar as I’m concerned. Of course, they’ll sell like hotcakes and I’ll have 8 of them blocking my view at every traffic light in a couple years.

Lmao learn 2 read.

You must be real fun at parties.

Says the guys who didn’t buy a Kia Stinger but are clearly the demographic for what you say you “want”.

I think you can’t read.

Yeah but when it happened did a bunch of Honda stans come at you for complaining?

He kind of doesn’t have a point though. I’ve had this happen in my former car, a 2017 Accord Coupe - the center console went on the fritz a few times, and one time I had to restart the entire care before it came back. But this was JUST the center console - meaning I was slightly inconvenienced in that I couldn’t…

That’s a shockingly stupid take, but you must know that already since you posted it through what is clearly a burner account with 6 whole posts ever.

Motherfucker, PLEASE. The book isn’t anti-autonomous cars at all. I fucking WISH writing anti-Tesla articles made one tiny bit of difference on book sales. It doesn’t. And I’m not anti-Tesla. But if this is your reaction to this story, perhaps you should seek out your clergyperson or a trusted relative. Maybe a…

The platform is the same, its all MQB based.

Oh, thank fuck

You can’t really compare a used car to new but I’ll play along.....4 .5 is a long ways off 3.9 (or less). The E550 also handles like a boat compared to the Golf R. And all this still ignores the perils of owning a 5+ year old luxury car with no warranty.

The Golf R is near the top of bang for your buck. Personally, I…

And yet two cars that have absolutely nothing in common, other than having four wheels and running on gasoline. And possibly similar pricing. Have you helped your friend choose between a new fancy pickup truck and used Ferrari Mondial too? That is about as good a comparison.

Wait you can get a better deal on a used car than a new one? I’m shocked!

And used, with someone else’s farts in the seats, choices of colors, choices of options, and unknown levels of pre-hooning. And not a comparable car anyway. You could also just buy a used Golf R for half the MSRP of the new one, which would at least be mostly the same thing. MK8 is evolutionary, not revolutionary.

Yeah, used car vs. new car - that makes SOOO much sense.

Stop directly converting prices between markets, it just doesn’t work that way, AT ALL.

Never mind that the morons that post stuff like this are the same people fighting to keep coal burning plants going. Failing on a massive scale, but still trying.

This stupid stereotype is STILL alive?

Yes, renewable power sources are something we need to invest in, but this is completely irrelevant to the article. Is dumping on EVs the only thing you could think to do here?
