While I was never really in the market for a BMW, I certainly will not buy any vehicle that requires a subscription to use features that the vehicle already has hardware for. Same with a motorcycle. Yes, I’m looking at you, Zero.
I think what BMW is doing is fantastic!
This is why we’re going to continue to have chip shortages. 90000 individual options are bad enough. Imagine the majority of their cars being made fully optioned out, but the majority of buyers not opting to subscribe to a large number of paywalled options. All that equipment going to waste because the consumer didn’t…
Consumers are finally getting the hint and reacting. Recession is going to fuck dealerships and I can’t wait.
Posting this is so fucking disgusting and irresponsible. I will never visit this site again. You fucking morons. Bookmark deleted.
“Asshole records himself speeding around Mahattan.” Why is Jalopnik giving this BS attention.
Yeah, this hed:
I forget, are encouraging this type of behavior or encouraging? What is the current Jalopnik zeitgeist?
Clicks and money, obviously. Jalopnik only claims “speed kills” if they can also monetize it. They’d happily put up any contradictory piece if it makes them money. Hypocrisy is not a word with which they are familiar.
Quite a juxtaposition between this and the article about the 6 people killed by the person who was speeding. We’re giving this new “record” attention why?
And unless they get rid of that haptic bullshit on the GTI it is dead to me.
This is an atrocious take. The Flex was Ford’s last good crossover. Crossovers now have some of the worst passenger space; which kind of is the main purpose of a crossover (at least that’s what every consumer says). It basically was a minivan without the sliding doors.
Enthusiasts: Please don’t get rid of the Fiesta.
The Flex was a great car actually. It was big enough for a whole family, had more power than it really needed out of that ecoboost, it looked pretty damn good, had AWD for snowy climates but never tried to act like it had any kind of off-road chops, and you could get a really well optioned one for under 40k.
He already daily drives a 335, his kids are out of the house, and he has $120k for a weekend car; investment advice is the last thing he wants from a comments section.
Plan C: he has 8 figures for retirement already, so comfortable is already taken care of. Time to have fun.
Sir this is a Wendy’s.
WHY in the world would you suggest a Morgan for long distance rally? I’m sure they’d like their spines to be intact at the end of the trip. Also, you know, be able to take stuff with them.
