Is there a way I can make money on all the Prince of Darkness, warm beer, looks great on a tow truck, etc. comments from people who want to argue after I note that I have 300k MGB - bought in 1993 - which has never had one electrical problem, other than when I replaced the fuel pump with a Mitsubishi unit?

Car and Driver did a long-term test on a 2014 V-8 F type. In 40,00 miles they found a glitchy infotainment system (that was fixed with a recall), those motorized pop-up air vents had issues, and a rear taillight cluster failed.

Uh huh. I’ve got a 2016 XF with that same shit’ V-6 that returns 30+ mpg on the highway, doesn’t use a drop of oil, pushes a 3,800 lb car through the quarter in the low 13's, and is just as refined as the V-8 in my R129 Mercedes.

JFC. You people just can’t help yourselves, huh?  Let’s try some facts:

Indeed.

Get ready for all sorts of epic blame-shifting.

I laughed at that statement, too...

If they could engineer the headlights to shine directly into the review mirror of anyone who happened to be in front of this thing, they’d increase sales by about 50%.

Love that the seller decided to take pics with the lights on, but couldn’t be bothered to replace a burned-out bulb in the passenger side taillight. That speaks volumes about a lazy, lazy man. Thanks but...No. Way. Jose.

A lot of good choices here. I’m in Denver, and certain parts of town are completely littered with oversized SUVs driven by women in Yoga pants, while other parts have epidemic numbers of Douche Bros in Stellantis vehicles.

More my speed, when it comes to Buicks.

Trucks are for work...or showing us every last one of your personality problems.

Those Alfas are wonderful (if you fit!), but I looked at bunch, and the rust issues were generally epic. Before buying, that’s a car that you definitely put up on a rack and go over with a fine-tooth comb.

I’m not sure how many of us have spent time in super-powerful cars, but it is surprising to me how ‘eh’ that gets, compared to great steering, a wonderful ride / handling balance, good visibility, and evocative view over the hood, etc.

If you’ve ever worked for a company that had a few of these analysts visit, and then had an opportunity to talk with them day after day by the coffee machine on the third-floor kitchen, let me tell you what you already know - these are exceptionally average people with no particular insight into anything.

The upright front nose...hmmm...

Might as well tell Boomer car guys to stop wearing white tennis shoes, pristine mom jeans and golf shirts.  

Strange stuff on this - from the partial ‘S’ front spoiler to the completely missing rear spoiler, and yes, the awful chrome wheels, then a strut tower brace (the vault-like 928 does not need that).,,

Don’t worry, the Orange Rapist is going to protect families / homes / cars. 

I’ll never understand people who think something like this - with a footprint as big as an older S-Class - could in anyway deliver on the 911 experience, which is all about agility and connection.
