He’s supposedly a pleasant guy, and I’ll watch the odd video if it’s a car I find interesting, but the QUIRKS thing lost me in some video when he started going on about the foot-operated high beam switch, like that wasn’t an incredibly common thing for years.

Thisssssssssssssssssssssss is a series of marginally informed, not particularly informative, personal assertions about a car advertised on my own auction site, masquerading as a review.

Demuro is a dick. He’s a know-it-all ass. He spent an entire review of a Maserati shoving the thesis that people who buy cheap exotics - not him! - are doing it to impress other people.

I love gear and this is pretty cool but it’s not quite Killdozer. Seriously, people are going to need to start living underground.

This is money laundering, right?

To make it look legit. Something tells me, the coke dealer tells multiple trusted millionaires at the auction and whoever buys it, gets the Snowman. Because this doesn’t make any sense. That low mile’d Evo 8 that sold for six figures was more special than a base C6.

The thing is, it’s not just ONE person who got that price to where it was.  It took MULTIPLE people bidding on it to get it that high.  

This was my first thought. Mini Cooper S. Even having just FWD, with a set of snows, these are a beast in the snow. Our R56 handled snow great in Western NY Hill Country with a set of blizzaks, the only issue was ground clearance, we would sometimes high center in unplowed driveways.

I came here to recommend the Mini Cooper. For me it was the Ipswich MA part that steered me to this car. Traffic around the Cape is a nightmare in the summer, during the best of times, and you not only want a car that is zippy, but a shorter wheelbase makes driving around a horde of tourists easier. I have a Mini…

It’s hard to describe why I don’t like it in person but I guess in total it is less than the sum of its parts. It feels more like a bunch of retro design details were thrown together in a non-cohesive way.  Instead of feeling retro, it feels like a vehicle with an identity crisis.

It does make sense, and there is already precedent for it.

Legal shenanigan or not, it works that way.  Weird things are possible with finance and ownership rules.  

I saw one in person and was hoping I would like it as much as in photos but it is way too big and goofy looking in real life. And I say that as someone who drives an iX.

Ok, I know the markets are exceedingly different but... Bugatti. Bugattis are sold in Canada exclusively by Grand Touring Automobiles in Toronto. There is no VW dealer presence involved. In California there are three Bugatti dealerships that are the exclusive dealers for these cars. There is no VW-branded dealership.

You’re reading too much into my question. I’m not suggesting they should or should not. It’s a legitimate question. If these dealers don’t have access to other VAG products (and I don’t know if they do/do not), why are they insisting access to Scout?

I guess the question I’d ask is “Can a VW dealership sell an Audi; can it sell a Porsche; can it sell a Lamborghini” All those are independent brands, owned by VAG. If a VW dealer has no right to those brands, why would they have a right to Scout?

Couldn’t happen to anyone nicer than the local VW dealer that wants $10k over sticker for an id.buzz.

Car Dealerships: “We don’t want to sell your electric cars!”

RIP you angry kitchen appliance.
