This made me realize, I prefer the pre refresh exterior.

front grille just looks ridiculous. Reminds me of the VW Microbus as it aged.

Counterpoint. It won't last forever, it just seems like forever.

I couldn’t agree more with that last part. My partner and I went to go look at Audi E-Trons this past weekend and when I showed her a Q8 sportback, she thought it looked incredibly stupid to take a 5-door fastback, add giant 22" wheels, and lift the body up several inches. A total poseur car.

And without ugly black plastic lining the wheel wells, a “floating” roof line, hack and slash random character lines, giant grills with a pissed off leer to the face, weird shaped taillights and all the other extremely tired modern car styling cues? At least by modern standards this looks like you might almost be able…

I’m just pointing out that you call the Equinox a midsize when the industry, and probably consumers, consider it to be a compact. For reference it’s 183 inches long, the same length as the late Chevy Cruze, which was a compact car by about any measure. 

Can’t someone go back to making cars with 16 inch wheels, please?   

I agree here. Except it’s almost too low of a mileage. Stuff has been sitting around too much. (oil, gas, seals, gaskets etc.) I’d be more comfortable with like 30-50k miles and some documentation that it didn’t sit around doing nothing for too long.

When I started driving, I shared a 97' Grand Prix SE with my dad as his bad weather car (he had a Miata) and it had the 3800 NA engine. It was pretty fast, handled well for a car in its class, and had plenty of interior and trunk space for road trips and hauling friends around. The back seat was big enough for my…

ND. I’ll give ya $9,000 and a 20 piece McNugget with three missing. 

I do not understand how, in the year of our lord 2024, there are so many of these damn things being produced.

We call those cars Turtles when we have to test drive them.

/thread.

I know production on the Cybertruck just started a few months ago, but IMO it’s not too soon to wish this blight upon the landscape to die a quick death.

Boy are YOU in the wrong place.

Perfect! 

Let’s take all the German SUV “sports coupes”, fill a ravine with them, and produce no more. Overpriced clown cars with cryptic marketing, causing eyeball damage across the world.

Kia Soul is an excellent vehicle for say...someone who just graduated college and got their first job. It’s also one of the extremely limited number of vehicles that still starts under $20k. The old turbo model was even pretty quick.

I can’t comment on the bakery’s loss or insurance. I do know that if someone had said to me “you’ve got insurance, you’ll be okay” at the time of my colossal burglary without knowing the dire straits I was in, I’d have lost my shit.

Point being, it’s odd to pivot to the notion that the bakery shop will be okay when you…

The rear design on all of these new Cadillac EV’s is extremely awkward. Ugly and interesting can pass. But these all look like unfinished vehicles that someone modified with cheap aftermarket parts.
