The discount thing applies to brand new cars too. If a manufacturer or dealership is offering a $5k incentive on a $30k car, you’re not getting a “deal” on $30k worth of car. You’re getting a $25k car for what it’s worth. In most cases, a car that’s undesirable enough to have a large discount is unlikely to be more

I don’t like how the new i7 looks, but it’s still a 7-Series. It’s just the electric variant. The EQS is not an electric S-Class, it’s something else entirely.

Who would have thought making a Mercedes that looks nothing like a Mercedes and charging Mercedes prices wouldn’t go well. We have to move away from EVs being designed like weird EVs.

I would assume a big part of the weight savings comes from not needing to have all the crash protection that is normally required?

Marijuana’s legal here sir”

Look now I couldn’t pull over because I was downloading the app, then I was over my data for the month and had to call to get more, then I lost connection and then I needed 15% battery to install it. So your honor that is why I am here today

Do you consent to letting this application send you notifications?*

COVID relief funds and infrastructure grants.

I believe you mean richer version.

Russian oligarch boats should have been targeted so long ago.

Is this the rich version of registering your car in Montana?

There is corrupt, and then there is small town politician corrupt.

Looks like an old cop car, not an active one.

I’m surprised the ‘97 to 2002 Honda Accord coupes didn’t make the list. Those transmissions were not up for the power of the V6 they offered in that model. Story has it that Honda was worried a manual Accord coupe would hurt their Prelude sales, so they never offered them. So sad, because they’d be a great fun coupe

I had a 1994 Mazda Protege with a five-speed manual. It was a magnificent gearbox, and I could get over 40 mpg on a long trip.

My brother bought a DCT ford last year unaware of the transmission issue. It’s now been sitting in front of his apartment for 3 months and no transmission shop will look at it. He has since bought a new vehicle, but what can he do with the ford? The thought of scrapping a car he and I paid a combined $8,000 dollars

My (rare) 2002 330ci SMG was a hoot and had zero trans issues. I sold it to a car-nut pal (he owns an Aston Martin, two Bentleys, multiple Bimmers etc.) and he still runs it as his daily driver. How’s that for +20 year “unreliable”?

I think the issue was with the added torque of the M3, TBH. He had the clutch disc

The only thing the Subaru CVTs need are oil changes every 20-30k miles.

Also, surprised that the Toyotas were not listed. Granted, the transmission is pretty good, but the main complaint I hear is about their ratios and how you need to reprogram it for the Toyota to feel good.  

About the Subaru...transmission aside, look at those gorgeous windows! You can actually see OUT of the car!

The Wilderness edition Subarus have a different final drive than the standard models, as well as transmission coolers to address these issues.
