I’ve long felt that there’s something a bit off about the Ghost’s proportions in SWB form, and that applies to both generations. I’d want mine to be an EWB.

Some I know may or may not have had to retrofit touchscreen functionality to a brand-new BMW X5 they ordered in November of last year.

But...it doesn’t look like a Crosstour. At all.

The ZDX was basically a “coupe” version of the 2007-2013 MDX...in the same way that a BMW X6 is a “coupe” X5. The ZDX and MDX were related to the contemporary Pilot and Odyssey, yes.

I agree. That UI isn’t giving what it’s supposed to give, ambiance-wise.

Per that link, it doesn’t look like Pininfarina designed the VinFast cars. Rather, it looks like they just did the design for the booth at the auto show.

I believe the other one is a LWB F15 X5.

Interestingly, not much about the Lux A 2.0's greenhouse looks particularly BMW-esque to me, and I’m a BMW scholar. If I didn’t know better, I wouldn’t have realized it was a BMW at all. The only portions of it that look particularly BMW-esque, to me, are the fenders and mirrors from the outside, and the steering…

I bought a 2011 LS 460L as well, and it was surprisingly problematic, though still less so than an F01/F02 7 Series would be.

Yeah, I agree that this price is ambitious for a SWB/pre-LCI F01/F02 7 Series.

That was the case, for the E38 (1994-2001). For that one:

You made a slight error in your article. You cite this as having a ZF 8-speed. However, on the F01/F02 (2009-2015), only the V12-powered 760Li had the 8-speed initially. The 750i/Li and 740i/Li (the later of which was not introduced until 2011) had the ZF 6-speed until the 2013 refresh. So this one has a 6-speed.

Where would Ford be today if the company had better understood the lifted wagon market. The Freestyle X/Taurus X and later the Flex were misses, although I like the Flex.

Agreed. But that’s not stopping anyone.

Chrysler’s financing is more lenient; you might not get approved for a RAV4 or CR-V.

The 2019, the year of the refresh that removed the awful bi-level headlights, was a big sales year, but they’ve dwindled since.

It’s the typical Stellantis/Chrysler curse. They sell plenty of these Cherokees, but typically with discounts or to fleets. Meanwhile, Toyota and Honda sell substantially more RAV4 and CR-V units, respectively, at higher prices and with (these days) no discounts at all. And Honda doesn’t even really do fleet sales.

For Jeep to make its ascent into a premium/luxury brand, it probably needs to discontinue the Cherokee, Compass and Renegade. Replace them all with a single compact-ish EV with a starting price in the $30K range.

Indeed, that is gorgeous.

As a developer, we typically have staging sites for that. There’s no reason this needed to exist on the production website. Unless...
