Although Tesla is entering a high-stakes segment with fiercely loyal customers, Musk admitted the truck was not guided by any of the focus groups or outreach to would-be buyers that Ford, Chevrolet and Ram have relied on over the decades to hone their designs.

I like this one. I’d vote for that or the “RS6 Avant for all” one

Neutral: I just got ketchup on my shirt

So, I like what Hyundai is doing in a vacuum. But take this story. The Elantra GT N Line was announced in January of last year as being available. It wasn’t really available until around May, and dealers were only getting one. And they had to be told no, not the Veloster N, the N Line EGT. This is for the N Line, not…

Unfortunately, it just makes sense. People that can afford Benzes are old, and their creaky joints just can’t handle coupes and convertibles like their parents managed to.

Ah, Mini. Take the price you think it’ll be and add $5-10k.

Used Corolla or Civic

Maybe I’m in a unicorn area, but I see plenty of Fits around, probably close to as much as I see Civics and Accords.

Yeah I figured as much when I saw the new logo. When a logo is changed and things are fine, it’s one thing. When a logo is changed and things are going bad, that’s a sign that shit is FUCKED and they’re trying to rearrange the deck chairs on the sinking ship to distract everyone. After all, a company in danger of…

OK but this seems to miss the point that they already have a fleet of anonymous crossovers and that car buying is usually an emotional, non-objective purchase. Using up the Blazer name that stirs a varying range of emotion in people when offroaders are printing money for the competition in both new and used forms is…

I’m with you on most of this, but the Ecosport is HIDEOUS. Come on now. The Fiesta was much better looking.

I’m not really someone that dislikes the new bigger grilles coming to cars, but christ almighty that Avalon one just sucks big time. Most eventually grow on me, but that one is just tragic.

That would look like crap in Forza, much less imitating a real product

93 is required to get the full power. You can use 87 and get 227/310.

I truly hate that the only cars in fun colors are either very expensive, muscle cars, or low end penalty boxes. Let me get a purple Civic goddammit

Since 2018, the Remote Software Upgrade has enabled BMW drivers to keep their vehicle up to date with the latest software, just like with a smartphone.

I built effectively an identical Durango in Forza Horizon 4 and it was a fantastic little offroad racer.

You seem mad.

This is just how the rigged economy works now. You start a tech company, get VC backing, lose money, raise more VC funds, lose money, go public, lose money, your competitors go under because they can’t lose money like you can, raise prices and reap benefits since you’re now the predominant game in town, make money.
