That’s the thing though, a lot of AMGs are actually really robust powertrains. The 5.5l turbo V8 especially is a really reliable powertrain, it’s just the other normal E/GLE-class stuff you need to worry about like blind spot sensors and airmatic. Even the original 2.0L in the CLA/GLA45 are pretty reliable, but this…

Why not? Because my name’s not Jeremy Jamm.

No it’s not a “convincing product.” We don’t want to be convinced, we want something we actually want to drive and enjoy. If speed was the only factor we’d just be driving EVs. This isn’t a “you just need to drive it to understand” argument, because the people that have driven and reviewed it publicly are not…

But, Gap insurance covers you for something that’s out of your control. Trading in a car is certainly your own choice, you don’t have to do it. 

None of them, and not because I don’t want an EV but because there’s really no point.

You forget that with other notoriously unreliable cars, Jags, Range Rovers, VW V10 diesel, W8 Passat, and Phaetons, etc. there are some that leave the factory put together right and they just work. Generally with those types of cars if there was one thing that went wrong it was fixed during warranty and that’s the end…

And it only makes the press when they’re cool cars people actually want. Defenders, Skylines, etc. This wouldn’t make any headlines that they could use as an example to scare away any potential importers so they probably wouldn’t bother, because who would actually want to be seen in this let alone pay all kinds of…

“Meanwhile, multiple dealers confirmed that Dodge will be discounting the 2025 Charger EVs as a way of “getting them out there” as one dealership put it, which is honestly kind of troubling.”

Here’s my experience anecdotally, but I think there’s some actual science behind it. The old “skinny high pressure tires cut through the snow” only gets you so far, it may do better than stock tires at factory pressure but you’re still cutting through to a slippery cold surface. Snow tires at recommended pressure will…

I’m pretty sure he said that because BMW’s response to criticisms of their shitty designs on social media was “ok Boomer.”

As a younger Millenial, using voice control is about as boomer as it gets to me. It tells me you’re sending that text via voice either because you don’t know how to get into your messenger or you can’t see the keyboard. Or your nephew just taught you how to do it so you’ve gotta show off to everyone.

It’s amazing the diversity of companies’ justifications for going EV despite the market clearly not wanting everything to be electric.

This isn’t a Cybertruck owner’s house, it’s just a house someone probably built to be an expensive AirBnB...

Not CUE, this car came out before that. The first Cadillac that had CUE was the XTS. This one’s got real buttons so while it’s definitely outdated and will be slow to react the hard buttons will actually work the first time you push them.

Meh, an EV Cobra is pretty cringy to me. It’s like saying the best vegan kitchen is an old Brazillian steakhouse kitchen purposefully beat to hell. Or the best burger is the Impossible Whopper.

This may be a hot take, but IMO lowering a car, especially a daily, is so stupid.

Any EV. And by free, I mean I’ll charge it but there’s no tax, no cost to buy/lease, and no insurance cost. Because I’m not spending a dime on something I don’t want regardless of savings and there’s no way in hell I’m replacing one of our cars that makes me happy to drive daily.

5. The problem with red light cameras isn’t “muh freedumbs,” it’s that they’re owned by private entities as a profit center, and it’s been proven in certain jurisdictions that they (or the city themselves) manipulate the yellow light timing to increase the number of tickets they can write.

1. A Corvette worth less than $20k. So everyone can stop parroting online about how they’re shit because of the interiors and old man stigma and realize they’re actually good to drive.

I saw kiosks for PreCheck in Mall of America this past weekend, where do these things stand in the spectrum of scams?
