Love mine too

A Bolntcore might actually work out (would need AWD though). I see enough Encores around, don’t hate them. GM needs to give Buick something to sell on, so why not electric? I agree, the TourX was stupidly named but deserved a better chance. 

The shift lever sticks up into the space vertically where the buttons do not, space saved.

I am scratching my head on the weight creep. My ridiculously long and luxurious 2011 A8L weighed about 4450 pounds (NA V8). My current smaller 2016 S6 we had about the same, despite being a foot shorter and narrower (Audi Aluminum Space Frame on the A8 makes a huge difference). That this leaps to nearly 5000 pounds

I fucking love my old man Buick Regal Sportback. It’s fast with a tune, running a 5 sec 0-60.  It gets 32 mpg at 90 mph.  I just got a 30% discount off of MSRP in Dec.

It you look around, many other car maker have using some form or parts of Mazda’s styling for years.

The problem is that while there IS a market for wagons, it is FAR more profitable to sell CUVs instead, as you can get more margin by making them taller and suckier. Instead of $1-2K more than the sedan/hatch it is based on, the CUV version can be $5K more. 

Ive always loved these and teh whole RS line generally but 5000 pounds? Lol, what a porker. This thing weighs 500lbs more than my bof SUV. Its jumped the shark or more likely landed on the shark and crushed it under its 2.5 tons of weight. 

I wouldn’t’ve believed it was possible for there to be a car paint color that I hate more that matte black, but here we are with Glossy Primer Grey.  You’re the “champs”, Audi.

Even the non-allroad A4 wagon was ditched a number of years ago. VW ditched its wagons too. I love a good wagon and bought one of the last VW’s but I am a dying breed. I get why people like crossovers, but its just not for me. If I want to be high up, I’ll drive my truck. Most of the time, you’ll find me in my wagon

Here’s today’s puzzler: Wealthy Americans are more than willing to spend upwards of $150k on a fast, practical wagon. Why can’t anybody get them to spend $30k on a kinda fast, practical wagon? Is the venn diagram of “people who can afford and buy ultra luxury cars” and “people who like wagons” just a perfect

This is definitely the weirdest digital tachometer I’ve ever seen.

Given its primer gray. Is this a pre-production model? Asking for a friend!

Did you become a doctor because you wanted to help people? Or because you wanted to make money?

I’m usually against focus groups, but Chrysler really should have workshopped ‘scat pack’ before putting it on a car. 😅

Given that their two main criteria were "reasonably green" and "quite useful" I would think that the Nero should be at the top of their list.

Kia Niro. Get the PHEV if you got a place to charge it

I really don’t know why they didn’t offer the Tipo here. Much better looking and more practical.

Hopefully the Maserati gets a sequel. That thing just sounds amazing. I got passed by one near Watkins Glen last year and wasn't even upset. Why? I heard the thing coming 1/4 mile away! And it's a looker too.
