I was just watching a video on the Renault 5. It changed EVERYTHING about how Renault was viewed, about modern car design and about building a car that appealed to all tiers of poverty to wealth. BMW needs to review what it sees as its identity. There is no better time when introducing a huge debut into the market…

First, ZERO criticism for the smart Covid precautions. It’s an ugly health challenge and I respect them for their efforts. After that, this is a tall price for this car. That engine, handling, nearly flawless interior are from the zenith of BMW’s excellence. But the car has a very $2100.00-esque-ness about it. At…

Maybe the seller is just a little gruff after [nicely] maintaining an Alfa Romeo for 29 years. It is pretty and I even spot heated seats, a weakness for me, but it needs the right buyer and that won’t be me. 

Seems priced for bargaining. A quick scan of 75d options on CL in SF shows a 2018 at $55,800 with 10k miles. No Dice.

Hold out. We recently (pre-recall) replaced our ‘02 325it with a 2016 V60. The value was hard to deny because, well shopped, you get down-to-zero radar cruise control, power folding mirrors, great sound, heated wheel, seats, the rather rare spare tire (not a pump/kit), stunningly swift accelleration balanced by an eco…

I have great compliments that the Lucid is devoid of all faux mesh crapola. Apologies to GTI, MINI, Mercedes-Benz, Civic but fake mesh is SO much worse than faux wood.

It’s weird, this “Maserati” has more miles (barely) and is just a third the cost of the Ghibli, it’s ALSO in Sacramento... and I think it’s way cooler.

Thank you for putting the cost of this BS in the headline, since, clearly nobody seems to give a toot about people dying. Maybe if it’s about $$$ they’ll care?

F*CK. I keep forgetting to buy a Lambo with my still-yet-to-arrive $1200 stimulus check. Can’t wait to unbutton my shirt, show a little belly, don some gold chains and get my Lambo with that $1200. 

Find the original wheels, which were a design near-masterpiece and it’s a VERY nice price. These are rare, rare, rare especially with both hatches. Cool design, gutsy options, a solid drivetrain. Nice Price or... GOOD BUY.

Great to update the name. We are the only species that can use language to affect feelings, meanings and it’s very cool to use it to the best advancage. Nice choice.

It’s a beautiful model and maybe one of MB’s most refined, least gauche designs. Yet this example ain’t the one. I’ve looked for them and this is definitely not a low price especially for one with questionable wheels and funked up grille, tinted glass. Goodbye.

People blab on and on about Audi’s interiors. I sat in an E-Tron and thought... Daewoo, 1990? It was VERY underwhelming for all the talk. I just don’t get it. Below the belt line it looks like an early Forester on prednezone, the grille looks like a grate that goes across the sewer with all that blanked out “mesh”…

Three tips to designing cars people will want in 10 years:

I think it was the most Lemon-Lawed vehicle ever. Don’t fact check me but it was largely hated for reliability.

Sienna AWD. Period. Tough as bolts, shockingly fun to drive, holds WAY more than a Tahoe/Yukon/4Runner and even more than ditzy little 30' long pickup and coulndn’t be more reliable.

I’m proud to say that I haven’t spent a penny at Exxon since ... ever. They’ve always been known as the definition of evil... right up with Coors and Chick-fil-A. My earned money goes to the best corporate players I can find. Exxon sure isn’t one of them.

I still have a shoebox of cassettes in case I ever find my mint, orange, big sunroof LeCar, so I can play Bananarama, The Thompson Twins and Pat Benatar in originality. I’ll gladly loan them to the buyer should they need some serious sounds.

Kia Niro is sooo smart, as others have stated. Mazda CX-9 is supposedly brilliant but here’s a curveball... a pre-2018 Volvo V60 T5 FWD has amazing safety, eco cred if you know (It has an eco setting which nets about 33 mpg in most flat driving), wonderfully comfortable seats, great warranty (“certified”), loaners for…

The no-spare-tire thing is a deal killer for me, as well.
