stupid bug replying to wrong resposne >_<

Yes there is. It’s called carplay. Seriously - there’s an API for that. Porsche already released it for the Taycan, so all the folks saying “you can’t get EV integration with your phone” - you’re ~wrong~. It already exists and the manufacturers are ~lying~ to you.

Android Auto and Carplay are free - GM is doing this because they believe there is a $300B (yes, billion) revenue stream there that they should get out of subscription services.  Because I want to pay GM a monthly fee for my car’s infotainment system to not suck. 

You don’t listen to music?  Use music or podcast apps, or audio books? 

Only because you’re paying a subscription is it even remotely better, and there are lots of folks that prefer carplay over the tesla system (and have been several surveys and studies done on this).

Which you can get with carplay and android auto. Porsche just did it. The API is there - they just want the subscription revenue.

Seasonal call (I’m guessing you’re snow belt), RWD only (except in the poorly-selling hybrid model), not high-performance per-say (just excellent looks - it’s a GT), lots of options for folks with that kind of money.

Everything I’ve seen says the bronco is much better on the highway - standard sane steering setup.

It’s the one thing that keeps me from buying one again - 95% of my driving is interstate @ 75mph+, and that’s the one thing it was really not good at - even though I was used to it after ~years~ of owning various jeeps.  It’s just not fun, at best acceptable, and with SO MUCH highway...  I wanted something that was…

They’re a hoot.  That’s why.  People like them, people buy them, people drive them.  A !@#%@ ton of them. 

They’re great on local roads or surface streets.  They generally suck on the highway unless you’re really used to recirculating ball steering - in which case it’s just “meh” on the highway. 

They don’t ~look~ good in these photos, but I suspect they’re better than they seem (and other photos look much better). Given that I often spend 20+ hours a week in my car, it really really matters to folks like me.  Especially since a decent amount of that time is in “mobile office” mode and not “driving” mode.  

Heated seats, better stereo, less pure-racecar seats (matters in a daily for a lot of us), dealership experience, etc.

Trick is that gets you into a BASE M340i. Once you add options, even skipping colors and a nicer interior setup, you’re at 64k for things that come on the Type-S. The AMG is closer for sure - if you trust that little ball of hatred and insanity they call an engine past 100k miles. 

Never seen you before.  Smells like troll.  Looks like troll.  Must be troll. 

They sold every one they imported.  It’s been a low-volume vehicle for quite some time now - the folks that want them only buy them, and they’re not generally trying to attract more buyers (especially given the absurd longevity).  

It STILL baffles me that the AWD IS/RC lose the 8 speed (and get an even more ancient 6 speed) AND the LSD.

That’s accurate - and for me right now it’s (IIRC) $.68 a mile.  The trick isn’t even the time - it’s the time and the extra driving.  No charger near means now you’re mapping extra miles on the route to get to one - which takes time - and the charging - which takes time - and the actually getting there (which takes…

And then find out that it’s not going to hit full power, so it’s an hour to get range instead...
