slight lift and plastic body cladding.

the MASSIVE bulge sticking out from the center with the vents and knobs and screen and plastic and AHHHH! That’s what lead me to the Mazda3 instead of the Focus. Even the HVAC knobs were too chunky.

somehow the proportions make it look like a tiny CUV... Ford designers are geniuses.

I saw one at a dealership yesterday. It was there as a training vehicle. Headed back there today, I’ll snap a picture.

Airplane pilots don’t stop paying attention when they turn on autopilot. They’re also not constantly a few seconds away from hitting something or having to deal with hairless apes piloting multiton blunt objects at speed.

You are more likely to hit a tree, pole or concrete planter on the passenger’s side, though.

Are you aware of what site you’re on? I’m pretty sure a large portion of people got the joke; just not you. Maybe you’re just too pedantic and are looking for an argument.

That was the joke, douche.

The 320i is not offered in the wagon. Only the 330i and the 328d are the available... the 340i is not, nor is the 330e.  

Why do we only get the choice of wagon when it’s the base, like the 328/330i, when it’s fat, lifted and festooned with body cladding like the A4 All-Road or MAYBE when it’s an insane, $85,000 wagon that’ll chug gas and chew through tires.

These are already commanding more then you’d expect.

The shame child of a CX-5 and Nissan Rogue

This is a concept car? This looks 100% ready for production. Nothing on this looks like vaporware. It’s also freakin gorgeous. Based on a new RWD platform? Maybe we can get us a new Mark VIII (Mark IX?)

No vehicle is tested for impacts at highway speeds. Even a new Volvo XC90 would succumb to the laws of physics when impacting something at 70 mph. And before we start jumping to conclusions we need answers to a few questions; 

This is how I learned to drive stick.

Other way around. Toyota sold the Cavalier in Japan, but I think it was the same GM based car.

Apparently so did the tattoo artist and the kid who picked it.

Give us this our daily COTD, forgive our debts to JC Whitney and do not lead us to temptation (to attempt to ford that angry river), but deliver us from the evils of asphalt. For yours is the Rubicon and the Moab and the Alpine Loop forever.

Make it look like this.
