Probably should link to the Grand Tour’s clips of this- that way you get the sounds it makes (good), and getting to see it being driven (even better). And how hilariously impractical it is (extremely).

Like Gulf Livery, this is completely played out already.

Have you met a die hard Philly sports fan? Ever? Then that alone enough to root for the Patriots. If they win, their fan base will be “Meh, that’s nice- just put the trophy over their with the others”. Philly fans will be even worse than now- and America has already suffered enough.

Philly sports scene is the biggest toxic dump in the US, and somehow made the Patriots looks sympathetic. Will enjoy the Karma on Sunday, with the tears of those toxic fans turn to finger pointing.

Neckbeard versus Beefhead, for the title of King of Neverwas Hot Take Merchants.

Worse, the Buick wagon is $30k less! I feel like this won’t sell at all, and then we won’t get wagons anymore. Other than the Outback, which is also $30-40k less.

$70k for a raised Volvo wagon with a 4 banger? This is madness. At least, the Merc AMG wagons have a few plausible buyers. . .

Hopefully Junkrat’s nerfs went live too, as that character is way overpowered with almost no downsides as the moment.

“legitimate businessmen”

In the word of Doctor Hibbert: Fire! And lots of it!

You sweet summer child.

Even the abject shittiest cars have active clubs and forums.

Acura dealers nod sadly . . .

Frank Ntilikina is actually really pretty good, and would be drafted a lot higher if they redid the draft. Wouldn’t be surprised if he makes All-Rookie.

Honda Execs crazy group think on the much despised shield front end design, plus tons of rehashed hondas killed what should have been a real Lexus competitor. If it wasn’t for the MDX they would have been completely hosed.

5th Gear: Metal Workers Strike At Daimler

That car with the OLDEST buyers gets Carplay first? Does it work with flip phones? Is someone in Toyota playing the long game (“see the buyers didn’t like it, so we were right!”).

Maybe, it would be nice. But in many ways the failure of the Fiesta ST (a well regarded car, with good press) shows what is likely to happen to this car. I predict decent buff book reviews, ok initial sales and then it just sort of dies. In a kind world Hyundai would be rewarded for making this, however its 2018 so. .…

The “N” stand for Not Going to Sell, a Me Too car in a shrinking segment stuffed with entrenched incumbents. Is any Civic Si or GTI intender going to buy this? “N” also stands for Nope.
