Liked these way better than the GLC that replaced it.

I was trying to remember the name of these things the other day. I always liked the looks of them.

“Too small to do ‘truck things’ and too much of a truck to have comfortable road manners; these neither fish-nor-fowl vehicles were bad at everything.”

Fond memories of my Eagle Talon...

I mean, some of the Mitsubishis are rebadged Nissans. ;)

I have yet to see a new Z, and I live in FL where retirees come to spend their children’s’ inheritance the money they saved during their career on playthings.

I’ve driven a new M4 on and off track. I’m fairly confident that the M4 wasn’t the issue.

Never seen this in 40+ years of driving.

Your plebe car isn’t going to benefit from higher octane gas anyways.

Hoonigan, prior to the merger, was a promotional agency masquerading as a t-shirt/youtube brand. They made millions on deals with big companies like General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, FCP Euro, Kubota, Black Rifle Coffee, etc.

Post-merger they wrapped the Hoonigan name around the company formerly known as Wheel Pros, so

I’ve ridden a motorcycle to Prudhoe Bay. The Arctic Circle isn’t far from Fairbanks, which has a home depot, Starbucks, and Barnes and Noble. Charging infra in Northern Canada is rough, given, but that’s all this trip is really about so far.

They keep using the word “mall”. I do not think it means what they think it means. 

I dunno, materials were genuinely higher quality in the preceding ‘90s to early ‘00s era cars though. It’s hard to capture material quality in an image, but it’s easy to imagine the softer touch points in this Concorde vs a ‘00s 300C.

lmao depends on who you ask. I have way more money not taking care of another person.

But then a 300 or 350 mile battery range will not work for you either if you do not have a level 2 on a regular basis.

unnecessary to you.

As an R63 owner, I can say that was a great and accurate description. Except one minor point, it has 503 bhp, not 507.

We love ours and use it almost exclusively on our road trips. Mine has adaptive cruise control and a fresh set of air bags. I think it’s actually more relaxing than an S63, especially with the slightly

Start-stop isn’t about saving you money. You haven’t generated 4.5 gallons’-worth of emissions while stationary in 2.5 years.

I’ve spent a lot of time learning about personal finance and I’m naturally very frugal. That said, I’m less inclined than I used to be about financial-shaming people. The deck is usually stacked, there’s a power imbalance, and a car purchase is usually not a discretionary luxury purchase for most people. This comment

Look I’m on your side here for the most part, but a mustang is and always has been a luxury purchase. Its not a necessity. Nobody calls the price of a rolex “price gouging”. If a bunch of midsize crossovers stopped being produced and suddenly the Escape and the Edge went up in price, I’d be right there with you
