It is pretty common to swap the 3.0 Alfa engine used in some versions of the Milano a few years later. Assume that is what happened here. I have been looking at one of these for a while, the car looks nice, the car may be a little high, but I have mostly been looking at project cars and rough drivers under $10k. But…

I’m torn because I absolutely love the color, but I hate manufactured “collectability.”

I liked the old 2 which was a better looking 1. The new 2 took a step back in elegance which I think is the issue with this XM. It’s bold and interesting but not classy. Speaking of interesting, on the current gen 2 there are triangle intakes in front of the wheels, and on the XM they have the exact same style element…

I think most BMWs look fine. The Z4, 2/3/5/8, X1/2/3/5 are all mostly fine. The 4, 7, X7, iX, XM, and SAV coupes are the oddities. So it’s probly 60/40 good to bad.

It’s... His bike. He rides for a living. It’s not like that’s the only thing they did. At least maybe criticize the weird animal print or something.

Of the 275, 225 of them will sit in garages. 11 of them will be destroyed in accidents involving spoiled rich kids, 5 of them will be destroyed at car meet ups. 6 will be abandoned in Saudi sandstorms. 12 of them will be perpetually be sold and re-sold, 6 will be destroyed by catastrophic weather events. 7 of them will…

Toyota is playing it safe. Yes- huge strides have been made in terms of battery tech. But in real world results most EV batteries start to show significant degradation at or even before the 150k mark. For a company like Toyota where consumers fully expect 250k+ and at least 10-15 years from what they offer,…

ND. Not because this is a bad car or anything, but because the Bolt costs a few grand more and can be had brand new with more capability. If you’re on the used market, a used Leaf will have similarly weak range vs the newest EVs, but is way cheaper. I don’t see a reason to spend $20k on this car.

Got it, thanks. It is an EQS then. It is not bad looking vs the EQB which looks odd to me. I always figure that a model with an “S” for MB should be large but this doesn’t seem very big.

Yep. And BMW put the kibosh on the Rover/Honda arrangement pretty quickly, then made sure the Rover 75 was FWD so that it didn’t compete with the vaunted 3 Series. Eventually, the Rover 75 would get converted to RWD and--since Ford technically owned the brand--would get a 4.6-liter Mod engine, but that’s a whole other…

Sergio’s ever-present sweater saved Chrysler/Dodge/Ram/Jeep.

To be fair though - the suspension changes make the Trollblazer drive much nicer than the it’s sisters.

This is a legitimate take. It’s not the worst Saab, it’s the best Trailblazer!

This is not the greatest badge engineering in the world, no

Highway mileage in the high 20s? With that weight and aero? Yeah, bullshit.

“That’s range anxiety, done and dusted.”

We love ours. We got the Outdoor trim with “big” motor (2.5 litres, 182 hp). That got us a front camera (super helpful at tight river put-ins), smaller wheels with taller rubber, and all weather mats in the front, rear, and cargo area. It also got us the Dual Mode X-Drive which does and extra something magical beyond…

The owner can only achieve those numbers if they use premium gas, which is a small price to pay.
