Terrible take written to simply annoy people. Only thing the Element had over an Aztek was the H badge.

As many have posted, it isn’t an SUV, it isn’t enjoyable, it isn’t anything but somewhat functional.. and who in the hell wants functional? A wagon is functional... how do those sell? A hatchback is ... you all get…

You start by actually building the N brand, which they are doing. My point is you bring out the N-line after you build the N brand. AMG can charge more for that brand since those letters at least mean something (or at least they did, or do in some instances).

The problem I see with this is Hyundai N isn’t an established brand yet. Everyone wanted their new MB with an AMG logo because it’s well known and sought after, so MB realized they could make a boat-load by sticking those letters on anything they possibly could. Who’s going to pay more for the time honored (~1 year…

“...reducing by half every six months until it hits zero.”

hmm, might be a while 

If you mean the car’s angles literally look sharp, then sure, it might be pretty sharp. The color is nice, the car is still ugly.

I like that pick... I looked closely at a G35 6-speed back in ‘08 when I had a newborn. Too bad the dealer near me was ridiculously disinterested in selling their only manual rwd G35 sedan to me.

Fair point... and I admit I was being a bit cynical. I still say it’s just not much of a challenge. I like your S5 Sportback pick though.

Maybe I’m cynical, but how hard is this? $60k budget, and the last “what car should I buy” I saw was $200k+... throw a dart and you’ll hit something.

Now, an interesting “dad” car at $10k... that could get interesting.

It’s a Typhoon, and I’ve had it for a few years, slowly getting it back to stock, or as close as I can.

This annoyed me the most in the ad as well.  

Because just like the S-Line, M sport or AMG “light” lines, once Lexus put “F-Sport” on the side of their cars, people felt the extra $10k per car was worth it. You ever notice how the F-Sport badge looks nearly identical to an actual F branded car? When suckers stop buying them, the manufactures will stop making them.

I honestly learned something... I had no idea John Goodman knew so much about electric cars.

I’m asking as I admittedly don’t know much about the FC... but I’ve always loved this style; aside from know Wankel issues people always love to go on about, any problems/areas to look out for on these?

I am not an expert (or even decently informed) about the FCs... but I’ve always loved the Turbo II. I gave it a NP, even though I’ll admit that click was 99% emotion.  

I wouldn’t say the Sy/Ty started my enthusiasm, but it was the first non-exotic car I ever obsessed over.  

Thanks, that solved the point I was trying to make. If only every car was a volt we’d all be in heaven

I blocked my car’s texts though, it’s too needy.

Sure, those are potential solutions, but they don’t erase range anxiety like filling up a tank does. 

Range anxiety is a thing, and it most certainly is legitimate. It just isn’t necessarily limited to the actual distance being traveled. I would relate it more to the time it takes to recharge. Last week I forgot to plug my phone in overnight and I had 13 percent battery when I got up. No big deal, I’ll just charge my…

Gonna have to agree with this one
