Turning such a statement into a political message is so sad, so awful.

 In a plastic bag, in a storage cubby. 

I did the same with my Mercedes diesel, and my gas cars. 97% of the time, I do my own oil changes. When work has me too busy, I still supply my own filter and oil, the former bought in bulk on eBay. I usually take it to an independent shop rather than a quick lube place. I’ve also take my cars to dealerships, and…

Count me as a fan of the new (and old) NSX. It would probably be the closest I would come to buying a new “super car” if I won the lottery. Maybe a GT-R, too. Ferrari? Lamborghini? Even Porsche? Not my style.

It certainly looks to be a good remix of that same formula. I drive a 2005 Element and I do like it a lot, but I’d still rather see Toyota produce the FT-4X.

Its absolutely beautiful. Congratulations to your friend. Very nice car.

I really dont see Toyota marketing this as any sort of successor to the FJ. More like an even more useful version of the first xB, this time with a more rugged persona. A thinking man’s alternative to the awful CH-R.

Yes, $20k is a bit ridiculous, but there are people who would buy a new Honda Element if they could. As the owner of a 2005 EX AWD manual example, I can understand why. Practical, useful, reliable.

Yep, you’re absolutely right. That must be why he refused to help the Allies defeat Germany. He shut the company down rather than building jeeps and other equipment for the war effort. He was as bad as, or worse, than Hitler and he wanted to murder everyone who wasnt Germanic in purity. I’m pretty sure he was building…

That’s certainly true. I can’t think of a single neighborhood that is less than 40 miles in diameter, nor any city block of less than 50 miles. It would certainly never serve any purpose whatsoever as a light utility vehicle on a farm, for maintenance in a housing subdivision, a local (in-town) delivery vehicle, or ev…

And your point is that its severely obsolete compared to modern EVs? And you expect an older homemade EV powered by golf cart batteries to be anything else? It’s not like he’s asking $20k+ for it and attempting to pass it off as bleeding edge technology.

Correction, the 2.3L is OHC, not OHV. My apologies. 

I see you guys had more than your daily dose of Hateraid.

You do realize that:

 Its second only to the Ford Bronco for my new car dollars. I'm going to wait to see what they do with it first, but this is first on the list if it doesnt turn out to be what I want. Other contenders are Toyota 86, Hyundai Veloster N.

Because you dont agree or get my point, doesnt mean it does not exist.

 Given the choice, I think I would too. I have heard good things about them, and I havent driven a recent example. 

Hell, make the NV200 look like an S-Cargo while you're at it. And offer it with a damn manual. 

Agreed, the funky Honda N/ is one, the little S roadster is another. In a world where small cars are considered necessary, you can have some that are actually desirable. 

The thing about these vehicle is that they are based on economy cars. There are very few in this class that arent slow or noisy or cheap feeling. Really, the Buick Encore is about the only one that fits.
