I don’t see the problem. Miatas have infinite headroom. 

Or maybe you have bills and responsibilities.

They will likely also call you poor by saying you are jealous and probably can’t afford a Tesla anyway

I really can’t wait to see the Tesla Stans rationalize this one. 

Level 5 is most likely in someplace like Paris or London where they can ban all cars that lack high end self driving and configure the roads to meet the needs of those vehicles

Get a short bus from surplus. You can get a pretty decent one for a few grand. 

All of these seem crazy expensive. I don’t know much about vanlife, but I’ve been looking at skoolies for a few months. Plenty of people there build theirs out for less than $20k, and the end result is often better than what’s shown here. I’d much rather do it myself and make sure it was done right than trust someone…

Saw something like “MY MERC” on a 1.8 C160, which has to be 15-20 years old. 

I’m surprised they are cancelling the Passat instead of turning it into a crossover. 

I agree with this take. If you get the benefit of not owing them more when the residual is less than they calculated it to be, such as if you crashed and repaired the car, you don’t get the benefit of extra residual if the market is crazy. 

Literally none of what you just said was comprehensible. 

I still don’t expect full Level 5 for a very long time, like 5-10 years out.

You’re right, a $10k car won’t depreciate more than $10k. Since he said his budget is $75k, I don’t think he’s interested in an old, $10k TL.

Even if the auto market wasn’t nutty right now, this would be an impossible criteria. He’s going to pay a premium to get any car in present time, and lose that premium when the market corrects. Depreciation on anything bought at present time is going to be amplified.

You joke, but a cabover pickup would be so rad. 

I too am glad that they are willing to do something different. Did they have to do something different in a way that was so terrible though? Different for the sake of different isn’t always good. They could have redefined what a truck is, but instead they made something terrible. God, the Cybertruck is so bad. It’s…

Not really comparable to this situation. If someone got a hole in their oil pan, and had to replace the oil pan, that would be a closer comparison to this. You’re adding driver/owner negligence to this. Even then, $16,000 is a lot for an engine replacement. You’d be looking at some specialty/performance model. Most…

Why is this article so bitter?

I got the impression from Clarkson’s Farm that Jeremy was stepping away from The Grand Tour. I’m glad to see that isn’t the case. 

FCA in general. Dodges get a lot of neat colors too.
