Photo ops, “doing something, anything”, and “breaking and reinventing” things.

The big challenge with layering (and, presumably, requiring transfers) is the major attraction that s single-seat trip offers. Or, to put it another way, why would anyone want to leave their “autonomous microshuttle” before they reach their destination?!

. . . but not the demand for loading spots/zones . . .

I’m more concerned with the “it can control the audio and climate systems” using voice commands part than I am about the rest.  I may be old, but knobs work(ed) just great for those tasks.

I lived in Colorado for 30+ years and never got pulled over for a DUI.

Fifteen years ago, I had a Scrambler as my DD. Yes it had the Iron Duke, along with a replacement transmission (with a useless 5th gear - no power), sloppy steering, terminal rust, no A/C, rotten weatherstripping, and a limited load capacity (both weight and volume) for an alleged pickup truck. It was memorable, but…

It’s a 33-year-old time capsule. While a 3- 5-year-old, manual Outback would be less fun, for the same money, it would be a far less stressful option and just as functional. As others have noted, this is almost too nice to be a daily driver, and it’s certainly no winter beater, leaving it mostly for just weekend…

This just seems like a useless gimmick, to me. If I’m “climbing” a car/SUV, I’m going to be going for the highest handhold and that would be the roof rails.

Hummer H2 & H3, especially the H2 SUT. Truly pointless vehicles driven mostly by poseurs.

I didn’t lust after it when it was new and I don’t lust after it, now.  That puts it in the “Is it a good price for a daily driver/winter beater?” class, and it would have to be a few grand cheaper, to have any appeal, to me.  ND.

It’s probably a fair price for what it is, but the changes have made the car even more brutish and even less comfortable to drive. “Just because you can doesn’t mean that you should.” It’s become the typical Texas car (“Mine’s bigger than yours”), trading finesse for swagger.  ND, for me.

While the size probably targets a specific Asian market, I’d be way more interested in a 3/4 scale (‘70s VW van-size) or 1/2 scale (Honda Fit-size) version.

One, the solution to no “free air” is to go to Home Depot (or a competitor) and buy your own battery-powered 18-volt high-pressure inflator for $80 (probably less on Black Friday). Two, how about giving up on the 9/10 of a cent pricing. It made sense back when gas was less than a quarter. These days, it’s just a…

That wasn’t a typo, that was a mind fart . . . ;-)

This is more of a design process/inadequate budget issue than the actual construction. A decade ago, MODOT completely closed and rebuilt I-64/US-40, just west of St Louis. It was (and still is) four lanes wide, in each direction, in both St Louis (to the east) and Ladue (to the west), but was three lanes wide going…

“If you buy a car on a 60 year loan”, any car, you need to have your head examined . . . 

Future collectible?! I think not. It’s not much different from a Monte Carlo compared to a Camaro. While slightly sporty will always bring more than a basic 4-door sedan, most collectibles are truly unique, not just slightly unique. It’s either a $5K daily driver or a weekend conversation piece, not something 99% of…

I like it, but I’d like it way more at $18K-$20K. Unfortunately, ND, for me.

Standard, just like the cigarette lighter, multiple ashtrays, and no seat belts or airbags.

More likely, extended sheet metal and an open bed on a Jeep Cherokee variant, since the line is already set up to build it..
