Why should that kid (driver) care... someone else has been paying for his mistakes his whole life.

Yep. I’m sure the Ford stockholders will agree with “Go buy someone else’s car,” AND... you treat it like they’re toasters no one cares about. While I like the 3, they aren’t simply interchangeable for people that care about the car they buy.

Oh look... another mainstream option for the rest of us! I heard Tesla is having a hard time getting rid of all those Model 3's sitting unsold in acres and acres of parking lots.

Exactly! Let’s ALL move to New York. I think there’s still room left for everyone else that lives in the US to move there. Last time I was on the NYC subway there was nobody on it. They have more than enough room left for the rest of us.

Maybe my next car will be a Focus RS.... oh... wait a minute. Shit.

My Phaeton prox key looks identical to the key shown.

Jason... I’m surprised because usually I agree with almost everything you write... but this... THIS... sheesh. Losing your key MID drive? Is that really a thing? And then not realizing that if you lost it mid trip it can’t be THAT hard to find. My daughter lost her little notebook last weekend but knew it was in the…

Proximity keys are a step forward for a lot of reasons but there are always people that hate new things. People LOVE to hate. Love it. Here’s a decent rundown of why I love the prox key.

Nope.

We specialize in ghost construction equipment in Michigan. We also don’t speel very well so that makes it feel legitimate. We are often confusing to people, but are presumed trustworthy because we are surrounded by water. Mittens are often comforting to people, which is another reason Michigan is perfect for this as…

Agreed

I mourn this decision. I have 4 vehicles and three are cars and one is a 7 passenger SUV. I DO think it’s helpful for transporting sizable things (which is occasional but keeps me from having to whore around to borrow someone else’s), and when we need to take more than 5 passengers (which with 2 girls also…

Ah HA! You pick on the Traverse but you haven’t had Chevy drop by bringing all the family you haven’t seen in a decade or two to surprise you! NOW what do you think of the Traverse??? Pretty nice eh?

Can we just go find and shoot the idiot or am I going to now go to jail for threatening such a thing. Honestly... I know that probably someones parent blah blah blah but I think the world is a better place without a brain that thinks that stupidly/selfishly.

Sometimes I’m amazed they (modern luxury cars) work as well as they do... and I don’t mean that in a derogatory way. I just drove my 2013 Audi S8 to Florida and back so I spent time thinking about this. I have 70,000+ miles on it and when you think about both the complexity AND the self monitoring capabilities…

Thank you. I love my Phaeton. It is actually ALSO a 12 cylinder

I think many people miss the point of the SL65. It’s what I’ve always believed to be the Swiss Army Knife of the Sport GT world. It’s very fast, it’s very luxurious, it’s a beautiful convertible when you want that and yet a quiet, warm hardtop when you don’t. It has presence and style. I don’t know of a car that…

The SL is a much larger roadster/convertible than the SLC/SLK. The styling is similar, which honestly is the case with most manufacturers... they have a style they generally maintain. I have a Phaeton that my wife lovingly refers to as a Passat to try to annoy me because, it CAN look to people like a larger Passat.…

Good answer GM. Call them terrorists and DON’T address what drove them to this. That is why you’ll always be a third rate company.

At the end of the day, the problem here is not shady used car sellers or financial institutions... it’s the law. The fact that this has gone to court over and over and the “loan” terms have been upheld means that, while maybe slimy, the dealers/lenders aren’t doing anything illegal. The lawmakers need to amend the…
