I probably see one every other day. I even saw a Lucid just yesterday. 

There are a few around me - they are bigger in the metal than I expected, but still reasonably sized. They look very useful.

Me too! It also was black and beautiful. And much bigger than expected.

I saw a Ford Mavrick in the wild for the first time on Saturday. It was more sedan size than I realized from the pictures.

The Hummer hides it’s bulk like the Fantasia hippos in tutus

“or will the all-electric Vette be something else entirely?”

Except without the beauty.

if anything, the Genesis design language has a bit of that ‘smooth simplicity’ that Saab espoused in its late years

Not a bad idea, either, since ceramics hold up over time (not a scientist just looking at my toilet).

they felt so nice to touch

We live in a nice-ish neighbourhood, in a city with an incredibly high median income (we are not part of that median income). These things will be fulfilling their intended purpose by September: Ferrying nouveau-riche trophy wives from McMansion, to Starbucks, to school drop-off, to yoga, to (? fuck who knows, I work…

J/LR resorting to using a BMW engine in place of the (obviously soon-to-die) Jaguar V8 is full-circle, considering the L322 (2003-2012) Range Rover was developed under BMW, and that the earliest versions (2003-2005) used BMW engines, including the M62 V8...and were essentially made of BMW kit, like the current Supra.

I don’t mean to be a fanboy, but I really want to understand how you relate this 7er to this:

Somehow I think we’re more than a few years off from worrying too much about used car residual values. 

I’m reading through the comments section and there are A LOT of people who haven’t driven a Kia in 10+ years in here.

According to the one on np/cp this very morning, apparently somewhere around 34k right now is reasonable?

Too bad you have to go to a Kia dealership to buy it, an experience that—nine times out of ten—will leave you feeling so frustrated and abused, you’ll run straight to the nearest Audi dealer for a considerably costlier A/S5 Sportback, or to the BMW dealer for a considerably uglier 430i/M440i Gran Coupe.

Challenge the credit pulls on your credit report with the 3 credit bureaus. They are required by law to investigate and get proof of the pulls. If the dealerships does not show proof of your agreement to have it pulled within 30 days, they are required by law, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, to remove them.

Same here. I drive 1000 freedom miles a day and tow boats and horses.

I too, prefer to shop for my weekly veggies at a market around the Asteroid Belt.
