This is one of the better looking Maseratis that doesn’t announce [party air horn] “douchebag in bedazzled jeans and MMA t shirt arriving!”, but that hardly matters, does it? The badge alone carries that stigma by now - for the sake of my social relationships, I can’t cast more than a cursory glance at this, as I’d…

Funny you mention the CVT. I’ve hated every rental Altima when in client’s cities over the years, and passed on the Impreza sport when car shopping. But the Civic Sport (specifically) seduced me so much that I even bought my ‘17 when the lease came due. Part of that is the CVT that does NOT do any fakery - it’s like…

I’m a Honda fan. I have a 2017 Civic sport hatchback and a 1995 Civic EX (my first new car I ever bought - supercharged and properly suspended). This happens to be my personal favorite, this TL. I should be drooling, not cringing.

From that headline - I was 100% positive this was going to be about their new jumbo grille gamble.

Eeq!

Crack pipe.

To me, “luxury” means getting something that meets my personal wants and needs, to the degree of spoiling me.

In the cantilever era, no one ever made a conversion system to more or less make them v-brakes?

It really is two things:
1) the van
2) the conversion

It’s a good point objectively.

This was such a disappointing time to live through...
I remember when the RSX came out to replace the Integra.  
The bloaty-body, the bulby-headlights - just LOOKED less sporty than the third-gen Integra (which I never thought that looked better than the 2nd gen).

Second glance - gotta say, new car, new tech - new color makes a lot of sense.
Maybe all of these are too traditional... except that pink.

As a man, I don’t hate that pink at all. Especially with the black wheels. Blame it on my skateboarding and punk in the late 80's, early 90's...

...but I’d have to pick that green. Especially with those curves.

Luxury is different things to different people - with this being the “flagship” only for the worst kind of people. It’s either the sort of uber-conservative who lacks class (beyond not sticking an “I buy American” bumper sticker), or the unfortunate on the other end who grew up on rap videos. You don’t see these in…

I love this in theory, but...
...have never seen people honking at a red light, ever.

So the real story takes less words:

Element - yes! All the yesses.

Who is “we”?

I agree, from the sense of “there isn’t even a glovebox!”

Harley is increasingly known for really just one thing:
Trying to exploit the exploitable out of their money.
