I can already tell, I will be checking this post all day today...

Interesting numbers Tux. Do most people actually make a zero down payment and finance the entire amount on a purchase? I would think at least $10-15k down payment/trade in on a 45k car and finance the rest which gets those numbers down to a reasonable amount. I guess if ones point is to just drive a luxury vehicle…

But what happens when I buy my Lexus GX and its worth more than half of what I paid for it and I don't have a payment anymore. Your approach makes sense for certain vehicles but many vehicles make the opposite true (i.e. Toyota/Lexus and BMW come to mind).

Your scenario looks like it was created by someone who is trying to talk themselves into leasing. I don't know where you're getting your numbers but if I go straight to the Infinti web site I see a Q50 AWD premium with a $42,705 sticker and a 39 month lease payment. Even though both could be heavily discounted lets…

Then I take my "asset" and use it as a 10k down payment on the newest model.

I've personally spent plenty of time analyzing this market and it's buyers, presenting results for manufacturers: There isn't enough room for both of these players. Together, in similar space, they will annihilate the viability of the last "entry level" roadster altogether (Miata).

Yes, because no smartphone will change again, ever. /s

Brake lights that flash when ABS is active to warn those behind you. Need to get this past regulation.

Fine, so don't have it pop up on the dashboard. Put it in a diagnostic section of the Infotainment screen.

We've gone from wagon wheels, to tubes, to bias ply, to radial, to crappy run flats, but the concept of the wheel & tire has been evolving slowly.

Get a block heater.

Keep an avalanche shovel in your car. They fold down so they'll store away well, but if you need it, you'll be very glad you had it...

To me it looks like the 4runner was tired of the tailgating and dodged the civic instead of braking, so that the guy in the sonata would crash into it.

Driving a slow car fast > driving a fast car slow

In the end I think it's going to boil down to which one looks less like a clown car. Unless they want to hit the demographic that likes electric clown cars...

The thing is(this was said in a previous article) that the bolt is $30,000 after incentives and the 3 is $35000 before so it will at the very least be $2500 cheaper before options of course

There are plenty of cars on the road still from less than 20 years ago with less than 100HP...and most with shitty dogs of automatic transmissions from the 90s. Also, highway speeds haven't increased significantly from a few decades ago when cars of this HP figure were considered very much the norm, when people got…

Vote: Autofocus

No one thinks about it much because it looks VERY similar to the sedan. Butt the first generation Mazda6 had a hatchback version. With the hatch up and the seats down there is a TON of space in there. Looks like a sedan, hauls like a wagon:

Speaking about the "oh my god" perspective, are people actually that stupid and do not buy proper winter tyres in the states where every winter they get snow?
