Almost any of them, really. This isn’t a “They sure don’t build them like they used to rant” but tech is now the wild card in most new vehicles. Consumers want all the efficiency and gadgets they can get at any price point, and manufacturers are happy to oblige, but at their own price point that maximizes profit.…

Most of the time, with a stretch goal of all the time. Elon demands 200% effort and commitment.

In today’s news that should surprise absolutely no one: Immigrants who come here to seek a better life, provide for their families, and just want to be left alone are less of a public threat than a militia of drunk and armed rednecks.

“Musk is an occasional user of cocaine...”

I know the guy who owns the Bertone also owns and regularly drives a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II in addition to a Jaguar XJ6. He is a retired provost from a small liberal arts school and now runs a gentleman’s consignment shop with his wife. Your profiling couldn’t be more correct, lol.

The 262 Bertone is the one to have. This just looks like an old Accord. Oddly, there is one of these and a Chrysler TC by Maserati that I regularly see street parked near my neighborhood.

Appreciate the replies from everyone - very helpful. I think my hunches about interior space will ultimately be the deal killer for me. Our current S60 can sometimes feel tight (I’m 6'2") and I’ve heard the P*2 isn’t much better, if not slightly worse.

Question for you, how do you feel about the Polestar 2 after living with it for a while? Would you make the same purchase? My wife wants one as our next car but I’m trying to convince myself to warm up to it. I think the proportions and small-ish interior space are my chief complaints. We don’t have a Polestar Center…

I hate those Volvo “Crystal” shifters so much. They look so tacky and out of place in an otherwise attractive and restrained interior. I’d love to have a V60 T8 Polestar, but that shifter would be replaced immediately with one from a lower model.

Because cruelty is the point and their base eats it up. As long as there’s someone else to punch down upon, they don’t have to confront the reality of being the lowest and stupidest of human trash who deserve their place at the bottom of the social scale.

Oh man, not Penthouse! Welp, I gotta stop everything I’m doing and listen to Freakin’ and Peakin’ now that you put it in my head.

Not a prick :) I will amend my statement by saying any recent generation (possibly 8th and above) and obviously excluding the GR Corolla.

I’m going to say the Toyota Corolla. Pick any generation - it really doesn’t matter. It simply elicits zero response and exists purely as white noise in the background. How many did you see yesterday? I bet you have no idea, but I’m sure it was multiples. Possibly even double digits. Now, that’s not to say the Corolla…

You are a true Samaritan. I always view these as pitiful man-spreading expressed by way of accessory.

These stupid things fitted to pavement-princess trucks owned by little big boys with nothing to tow. But bigger is always better, right?

Anytime the Echo is mentioned, I can’t help but remember the weird tie-in promotion with Final Fantasy 8, which was a wild contrast between an utterly forgettable and boring car, space witches, and gunblades.

Sample size of 1, but the only positive thing I can say about Volvo plastic cladding is that it doesn’t fade. I have a 2011 non-R design C30 with the black plastic wheel arches (which is okay because the car is black) and they haven’t faded even with minimal treatment and plenty of time sitting outside. Not sure if…

I’ve never struggled or had too many complaints about the height of the rear bumper, but the pass-through shape of the rear hatch is certainly awkward and will inhibit ingress of things you wouldn’t really expect. Otherwise, you can fit a surprising amount of stuff in there with the rear seats folded down. Our other…

I own a C30 but any other (true) Volvo wagon deserves to replace it on this list. Even recently, the V90 and V60* are no longer available new in the US unless optioned in their plastic-cladded and lifted Cross-Country variants, which aren’t anywhere as sexy as the regular street-going models.

As a kid, I thought the instrument panel in my older sister’s 1984 Berlinetta was unbelievably cool. A fascinating amalgam of Knight Rider and arcade racer cabinets. I remember going out and sitting in it just to play around and push buttons. Everything else about the car sucked, but that panel was dope.
