Volkswagen will again be at the center of an environmental scandal when it is discovered that the popular ID.4 model is not what it seems. Researchers and whistleblowers will reveal that the “electric” charging port is a dummy unit and that the cars are actually running on highly toxic selenium reclaimed from used…

“ All you lose, really, is optional AWD available on the Telluride and an inch and a half of ground clearance.”

A well kept example of a car that could genuinely bring joy to those who see it passing on the street. We need more joy right about now. NP.

I mean, at least the races won’t be decided by tire choice. Also: can we put Toto on one of the boats? Preferably without a radio.

VW Thing. “Well, we can’t call it the Kubelwagen, because of that whole WW2 unpleasantness- anyone got any ideas?”

This car is like, almost a foot longer than the first gen Honda Accord. It’s 3 whole damn feet longer than the beloved 1980's CR-X.  I miss small.

Cars aren’t pretty because pretty wasn’t part of the designer’s brief. Ford didn’t tell it’s team “We need a pretty Bronco to go head-to-head with that Jeep”). The only thing on your list I DO agree with is the Alpine. 

Cheapest one I’ve seen this week. Easy NP
