I really don’t understand how “off-road capable” is always paired with “critical drivetrain components made of spun glass.” Land Rover; Jeep; Subaru; some of the least-reliable brands in existence.

Certain cheap great cars are so expensive to keep running that you can never actually use them. You want a giant twin-turbo V12 for less than a Mitsubishi Mirage? Plenty of Mercedes out there with the old M275 AMG engine from any of the 65 AMG models that made 660 hp and like 900 lb-ft stock. But you will absolutely…

I have it in my 2024 Palisade that I’ve put 5,000 miles on, and the only time it’s been wrong was one time when the car in front of me was turning right into a parking lot and it acted like the car was stopping in the middle of the road. I can deal with little issues like that; it makes driving safer.

Could not possibly disagree with you more. You’re literally arguing the equivalent of “we shouldn’t mandate stability control because people should maintain control of their cars.” It’s technology that objectively makes driving safer; of course it should be required.

My brother was actually eaten by wolves one winter on the Connecticut Turnpike.

The joke there was that the plane was actually built with winglets, but on takeoff when the wings were full of fuel, the wingtips scraped along the ground and fell off.

The first aircraft to fly around the world without refueling didn’t have winglets. I call B.S. on this.

I have never and will never understand the love these cars get. You can get a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 for under $20k, and it’s a more desirable car than this in every conceivable way except for the fact that Senna farted in this one.

Except those early 60's Ferraris are beautiful works of art, whereas the NSX looks like somebody took a Subaru SVX and tried to beat it to death with an ugly stick.

Less than 300 hp. Slower than a Toyota Camry. What's next, Fangio's VW Beetle for a million bucks?

Counterpoint: You can walk into a Lexus dealership today and buy one of these brand new for less than $100k.

“This car needs a $5k repair and instead of doing that I’ll take a couple grand off the asking price.”

Pedal to the metal; can’t ticket what you can’t catch.

I cannot wait for the UAW to start racking up win after win after win across the South. Those workers deserve better; they deserve a union.

Talk about everybody missing the boat on the clearly correct car: You want a little bit of fun? You want a little bit of space? You want it for under $15k? What you want is a 2010-2013 Ford Taurus SHO:

Here in Manhattan, there are plenty of offices in skyscrapers built before World War I. Old buildings can be retrofit for new power needs, new HVAC systems, new lighting systems, new fire suppression systems, new roofing, etc. ADA compliance is a different story (and why almost noplace in NYC is ADA compliant).

I wish there was a way to search comments, because a few years ago somebody who used to work in a Jaguar dealership went through all the ways the X-Type was the worst car imaginable. Basically, they took a front-wheel drive economy car, and tried to turn it into a rear-wheel-biased AWD luxury car. But they didn’t do…

Spoken like someone who’s never driven a Toyota Echo.

Somebody forgot about the Jaguar X-Type, a truly awful car that was basically just a rebadged Ford Mondeo.

I was recently in the market for a three-row SUV (this was before the 2024 Hyundai Sante Fe hit dealers, which will at some point offer a hybrid option although I don’t think those are available yet). There are a billion of them availabe from just about every manufacturer. Here’s the complete list of (non-luxury…
