Looks like Honda Ridgeline and Subaru Baja had an illegitimate offspring.
Which interestingly could actually be longer than the Honda beat!
For the types of cars you bought and at that price range, I think importing by yourself is the way to go.
The Bumpers Look Pretty Rough
I know right? He actually spent the energy to point out “the bumpers look pretty rough.” Wait, what?
I have had enough, why do these Cars and Coffee gatherings never seem to have a coffee place nearby?!
I think Lewis isn’t the only one that could win races in that car.
Your story reminds me of my encounter at a tire shop years ago. A young tech broke 3 studs off a Dodge Magnum with what looks like 21" wheels, and the owner flew into a rage and started cursing and literally got physical with the tech.
Not only the 84 or 96 months loan, they probably want to stick a balloon payment at the end too so custom will end up refinancing that balloon payment.
Been there done that. The problem with getting a pristine older car with low mileage is that I would be afraid to put mileage on, and that really took the joy out of both the ownership and driving experience.
Why did the model year span more than 10 year? They went from 2008 Honda and Subaru to 2019 Hyundai and Mitsubishi. I know they wanted to focus on 3-row SUVs, but Subaru Ascent came out in 2019, so why did they pick Tribeca instead? Same with Pilot as it has always been a 3-row, why went for the 2008 MY?

I think it was a year ago Jalopnik posted the question of how and why a carmaker would decide which side of the car to put the fuel filler.
And we wonder why when AI finally takes control it wants to wipe out humans.
Also I notice in order to make the curb side window roll down, they have to put fuel filler on the road side.
The new Lincoln Navigator still flying off dealership lots, or pretty much any $100k+ SUVs for that matter. So I wouldn’t call this dumb.
Performance is a relative word, and the new benchmark is range instead of 0-60 time.
Maybe the best way to learn driving a manual is the most unconventional way: Carrera GT - just rev and dump the clutch since that’s how it’s designed to be used.
