I’d get it over the case Carrera for the sports exhaust and the mechanical LSD with shorter gearing. Like others, I’d keep the base seats.

Was going to post “used Aeron”. I’m sitting on one now, I paid about $300 for it.

Anything negative about Tesla’s is always and ever will be the fault of the driver, the reviewer, someone/something else.

It’s so terrible, technology that facilitates property owners using their property as they see fit and in a way that makes them more money.

Except that a well-optioned M240i costs as much as an M2. At that point, why wouldn’t you get an M2?

It’s not on some rainy, winding, 1.5 lane at best, mountainside road in Bolivia, full of buses, trucks and pedestrians. Not that impressed.

They are pretty common in BMWs, with much more practical and attractive black carpeting.

It will have a BMW engine. Probably the existing B58 from their x40i designated cars. So tunable but not insanely so.

Seems like a rock hard ride is pretty common with Audi’s front-longitudinal engine layout if the car is set up for performance. First noticed it with a B5 S4 I owned for a day before returning it.

Too bad it doesn’t have a rear hatch like the A7. If you go for that super swoopy rear roofline, you might as well make it useful and have a hatchback. See also A5 Sportback, 4 Series Gran Coupe, Panamera, and Kia Stinger.

Last year we rented a Kia Sorento for a road trip. It was decent enough, and very spacious for all the kid-related stuff we had to haul. Unfortunately as we were leaving town it developed some sort of control issue, where it decided I really wanted to make a u-turn instead of a right turn, and it almost forced me into…

I pulled up next to one the other day. The strip of chrome running along the bottom of the windows/top of the doors was visibly misaligned between the front and rear doors. For the kind of money Ford wants, pass.

It’s a shame the new Lagonda/Taraf was just a million dollar limited edition Middle East special. In more reasonable spec it should have replaced the Rapide, which is pretty but useless as a sedan. The Taraf’s design is quite handsome, like a sharp, well made bespoke suit, and does a good job of blending the modern…

As a BMW owner, 🖕to BMWNA

It’s cool that the 560 designation came back. Too bad they couldn’t call it the 560SEC.

Right, Q5 = basically jacked up A4 wagon (longitudinal engined MLB platform), Tiguan = jacked up Golf (transverse engined MQB platform).

These look like great places to stash a pistol, like that hidden cubby behind the infotainment screen on the current Tahoe.

Yeah but like you describe, branding separation is pretty clear with Audi and BMW: it’s an S vs an RS, an M Sport vs an M. Heck even Mercedes used the AMG Sport for a short while.

Are all Mercedes going to be AMGs now, with ‘plain’ Mercedes being just the base trim?

Vents still look like a puckered anus 👎
