Yeah well it’s like $80k so meh.

Big trucks have their own appeal and can be fun in a different way, but by no means do the large trucks handle or drive even remotely as well as a proper luxury car or sport sedan. And unless you’re actively using that space and capability, you’re just dragging around thousands of pounds and multiple feet of dead…

I’ll be that guy. This IS cool, if you can get over yourself. I mean come on, that interior is so baller. WAY more spacious than any Range Rover or Escalade. It has all the safety stuff and tech nerd gadgets. Butt coolers even. Why do rich people insist on having less room for more money?

Cool, great, but that’s not realistic for the vast majority of borrowers.

I’ll go with the Ridgeline. Having lived with one for a year and a half, I find it a truck that’s very easy to live with on a daily basis, and way more capable than those who have never used one would expect it to be.  I drive HD pickups daily at work, so I do have some perspective here.

I can’t look at the ram promaster without throwing up a little.  Transit is much much better.

So basically every Lincoln. They review as solid C+ to B. Most auto journalists wouldn’t pick over the Germans (except on price)...maybe tie with premium Japanese. And they are about as popular to the public as a transgender tolerance tent at a Trump rally.

Yeah, but no manual no care. 

They really should have brought its larger cousin, the i30N, to the U.S. The market for subcompacts in the U.S. is tiny, but there is a much more robust niche for regular size hot hatches. 

There’s nothing *super* special about it, but I really appreciate that it exists:  Toyota Corolla Hatchback 6MT.  It’s on my short list of next purchase now that there’s no longer a 6MT Accord.

General Motors Defense Research Laboratories built the wheels for this fine vehicle:

Volkswagen currywurst.

Yamaha. We make lots of stuff.

The main reason I will never buy a Hyundai is that I worry about ticking the wrong option boxes,

GM - Artificial Heart, you all even had a bit on it a while back:

I think he was more alluding to the fact that (white) rock purists think of the genre as a sort of island, free from outside influences. Originality that deviates too much from the basic formula is frowned upon by them.

I feel like we can blame (white) boomers for rock being seen as its own thing, completely separate from other genres. Boomers liked rock so much that they basically froze popular music for decades and denigrated all other forms of music, often for not being ‘manly’ enough (disco being a prime example, but also funk).

Curious. I never bothered to buy any Foo Fighter records. I’m just noticing this new disco tribute album (!) they’re coming out with... I guess it blows the minds of “(white) rock purists” to know that guys like him have influences that have nothing to do with Led Zeppellin, Beatles, Stones, etc.  Nice revelations,…
