No.

Normally I wouldn’t say this is flashy nor that large. But if the RLX is mentioned, I think the TLX is just as large inside, and the a-spec is certainly flashy (in blue anyway). I’m 6'2", 225 lbs and fit comfortably in these. (I attempted to add a photo, but who knows with kinja). Well under $50k for a v-6 model of…

I agree. You can’t drive it on the street, but if it doesn’t handle that well, so the only racetrack that really works is a drag strip. Of course, if you just wanted a drag car, where are the drag specs like the Demon came out with.. or a Copo Camaro?

I suppose you get to say you own one... and really that is the…

Completely agree. The “manual” technology in this car is really cool, and it would be great to actually use it sometime.

Unfortunately, I imagine that amount of time it would take to trickle down, there won’t be any transmissions to shift.

I honestly did not realize they were still selling the Ghibli. I cannot recall the last time I saw one, but I’m willing to bet it wasn’t moving when I did.

I think most of these make sense. Sure, I thought a few were way off, but then I saw the reasoning, and yeah, that specific version is quite a turd. Interestingly, the one I think is off is the Flex. Is it my cup of tea? Well, no... I don’t care much about square minivans that pretend to be SUVs... but every owner…

Yeah. You know you are “on the pipe” when you want to sell something for MORE than BaT!

So on the most expensive car buying site, BaT, this went for just under $20k 8 months ago. Now he wants $25k after making it magically appreciate how?

Also, it looks really nice, and I think it’s worth a nice amount of money, but paying $20k for this in the first place was your mistake. (FYI: I don’t know how much this…

The Maxima might be ending, but the 4DSC Maxima officially ended when the CVT was introduced in it. Some will argue the Maxima lost its sporting flavor long before that, and you may be right. But that CVT truly ended the run.

The CVT really killed the Maxima. Any semblance of sportiness was completely flushed with that torture device.

My question: Is this actually worth it?

What I’m getting at, is that a standard MDX performs fine, it’s not sporty, but it looks pretty nice and is well equipped. The A-spec makes it look a little better, and this type-S will obviously make it faster. However, does the increased performance actually make the large…

Makes sense, and appreciate the reply

You make a good point, and if Rivian really did “count on this law” then they weren’t using smart tactics or using bad assumptions. However, they are still going to argue that point as far as why it should be kept.

No, it isn’t. It’s a Yugo, there is no need to add anything further.

next.

Not knowing the full details of the bill, maybe it would do just that. I’m not sure, but it’s a fair point.

I cannot cry you a river. Maybe a small stream, perhaps a creek?

Read my comment again, and let me know where I claimed they “deserved” anything. 

As a taxpayer, I don’t particularly care. I was adding clarity to why Rivian is going to push-back. It didn’t seem like a lot of people understood. Whether you agree/care is up to you.

That’s fair.

For everyone bashing on Rivian for complaining here: They would get this tax benefit for their consumers as things are now. The new legislation would remove the benefit for them going forward. They’ve counted on this benefit as a part of their model/success/etc...

I’m not saying they should or shouldn’t get this, or…

I don’t get anyone buying a great car and never driving it. (I know why people do it, it’s just stupid). It should be illegal for the v8 in the car to NOT be run up to the redline at least once a week.
