Well, I don’t care enough to *die* over it, but the 11th generation Thunderbird is a pretty car, and 280 hp is nothing to be ashamed of. 100 years from now the fact that Americans don’t buy nice little two seaters will be rightly recognized in the history books as one of the major causes of our inevitable fall as a…

I already know how this is going to go over, but hear me out. I like the Cybertruck. Not because I think it’s good, or useful for its intended purpose, or because it will live up to even a fraction of the claims Tesla makes about it (of which they are as myriad as they are absurd). No, I like it because it’s…

These look pretty great, have a killer engine, and are aging gracefully.

Customers can reserve an R2 starting today, with the base price set at an estimated $45,000. Deliveries start in the first half of 2026

I added running boards to my R1T and now my three kids in various car seat stages in the back get in and out without any issues. Take a second look, it's been an amazing ride

However, if they qualify for the $7500 tax thing, they are back in range.

The cheapest trim of the Equinox EV, the $34,995 LT, won’t come until sometime in 2025. And the cheapest trim that they’re about to release soon, the 2RS, still starts $4,000 more ($48,995) than what he’s budgeted for. And that’s based off of MSRP. Dealer markups will likely make it even more pricey.

That $38k is for the regular Rav4 Hybrid, not the Rav4 Prime PHEV.

A used Telsa, why? If you’re going to be a horrible person and financially support that Nazi piece of shit, brand new long range Model Y’s are under 37k with the tax credit and still under 45k without it.

Not a terrible answer. If you feel bad about it for climate change reasons... put the $35k into solar for your house and unplug fossil fuels from your life there. 

I’ve been pretty happy with my Mach-E Route 1 that I’ve had for about 4 months now. I can get around 305 miles/full charge and I can fit two car seats in the back with no issue. Plus it’s one of the few with two trunks and a nice interior.

The anticipated Amber Russian EV...a face only a tadpole could love.

Please ease up on the unrelated backlinks cluttering up the place. The word “automatically” links to a story about automatic transmissions?

That’s two of the same car.

Largely seconded - I’ve got a GR86 in the garage and a Mazda3 in the driveway. Could stand to get something a little more capable in terms of cargo/hauling than the Mazda, perhaps a Maverick or Ridgeline, but I’m not about to abandon a paid off and well-maintained car for the two or three times a year it limits me.

That’s what, a quarter million in cars?

You may have overshot the “reasonable $100k budget” portion by a bit, but otherwise solid picks.

When I dream, I dream small. Being overly pragmatic I really don’t like showy cars that make some kind of statement about me. Even if I had the full $100k, I would keep it simple with a Toyota one-two: a GR86 for the weekends and a Prius for, well, everything else. Is there a sportier and more luxurious option I could…

“Best” is a debatable term, what with everyone’s competing definitions of what makes something “better” than other things. So rather than wade into that kiddie pool of semantic backbiting, I will present to you the most radical two-car garage.
