The illuminated grilles look weird to me because for decades that’s been something that people would do with shitty aftermarket lights. Now I have to look at a car longer to figure out if it’s stock or modded.

Honda Pilot length: 200"

I can never understand people who put down that much money on a car and don’t use it.

100% this. I searched for months trying to find the green on brown SEL but every time I found one, by the time I started looking at flights out to go look at it, they’d sell. Wagon people are passionate about their cool colors.

For the ones that pretend to shift in normal use, absolutely.

Is it rude to idle loud or smelly cars for long periods of time regardless of the season? Absolutely.

IIRC there were a handful of electric iQ. You could probably engine swap it

In what world is a DBX considered small? It’s the same size as a Honda Pilot

Unfortunately for Fiat, there aren’t a lot of places in the U.S. where its small size is an advantage, so it’s a little surprising that Fiat decided to offer it stateside.

From the article

This. Audi used to be about understated design, clean lines, and tech. IMO their interiors were extremely sterile places to be, but that was their MO.

The equivalent would be the VW UP - a sporty model of that would be great.

Not only did the US get the 2.5 in the Mazda6, we got the ~250HP 2.5L turbo in the final year or two. Those seemed cool.

Maybe they’ll stop speeding once they realize how much this is going to cost them?

I think what’s most surprising to me from all the sub-300mi justifications is how little it seems other people drive before stopping. 2 hours is barely enough time to get out of most metro areas that I’ve lived or driven through!

In 2020, I bought a 2002 Mazda Millenia S for $6k at just under 100K miles. I used it for a while and enjoyed the looks it would get when that supercharger spun up. After it took weeks to source some new control arms, I realized that, much as I liked it, it being a 20-year-old, low-production, obscure sedan was only…

honestly, I thought it was thinner than that.

It’s just too bad the interior isn’t as enticing.

The average person in the U.S. has a commute that’s just 12 miles with an average daily mileage of 42 miles. I’ve always had a problem with this argument though as it assumes that people use EVs mainly just to commute to work.
