I’d forgotten all about car bras. Thank you. As a gay dude, that was the only kind of bra I was thinking about in the 80s and 90s.

If Honda could “make it simple” and bring back the Element with an emphasis on “elemental,” it could be the smart, sexier alt to the 4Runner. Plug in, super efficient, wipe it out, bidirectional charging, total versatility, like a van, without being in the same sandbox as the ID Buzz or Sienna (and 4Runner), it could…

Yeah, yeah, Element, Element etc.. BUT I’m not skipping past that fact that you have an XF Sportbrake. Utter unicorn. You’re of 250 in the entire country. Tell more! Such a beautiful vehicle.

These are rad. I’ve got another. Comuta-Car in Marin County, Ca. IMAGINE how fast SIX horses are?

Even a “Real Housewife of New York” ( albeit, the chic-est ,definitively tasteful Jenna Lyons) is calling out over-logo use. The point is, no. No, this is NOT cool. Logos are ok. Respected ones like Rolex are in .5 point type on a watch. Discreet. That’s not un-classy.

I love that idea but Toyota is too much of a Trump supporter to really jump ahead in the EV world, at least for now. 

Like when someone says a movie is SO bad, and you want to watch, to see HOW bad it is, I really wish VinFast would offer 24 hr test drives (or 36 or whatever) just so some of us could experience what a modern, lousy vehicle is. It would be interesting.

What a botched lead up. I’ve never EVER planned to get a Chevy. Like, I’ve had Volvos, a Datsun, Saabs.. Chevy isn’t my trajectory yet the Blazer had some appeal. But they doubled the price (I’m not your accountant, calm down if I got the math a little wrong) and suddenly, I’m STILL never going to get a Chevy, I…

Wagons are cool, but let’s get real, even if you call the Toyota Corolla Cross a wagon, they aren’t fun unless you spend $75k on a Volvo XC60 plug-in or an MB.

Lucid is the SAAB of EVs. If you know, you know. Otherwise, it’s an odd duck with an un-sexy, sedan form, no SUV (maybe they need a Trailblazer Lucid to = the SAAB 9-7?), debatable prestige ROI when there’s an EQS that’s leasable at Ford Fusion rates... and living in a VERY pro EV, affluent area, I’ve seen TWO Lucids,…

There are two things keeping me out of a Y. No rear wiper and Elon. I don’t buy stuff from a guy that hates women, lies about vaccines, complains about government subsidies but takes millions in them, pays less taxes than you and me, cares nothing about worker rights, lies like a rug... nope. Not for me. I also don’t…

I have no beef with the Tesla vehicles. They look great, whichever model. The power, efficiency, safety are outstanding. Now the value is there too.

Just one of the many reasons we’ve had and greatly enjoyed four minivans (and no kids)

Excellent, engaging writing! Now, I’m hotly searching Craigslist for an i-MiEV. Digging this. 

The thing about leasing that cracks me up, is all the people who buy crappy cars, and exclaim how smart they were to lease, in case it’s garbage. Does one really want to be locked in a three year contract with a stupid car you hate?

I’m with you. No way on earth I’d have that lunatic’s brand associated with me. I seriously “built” a Model Y, with the intention of buying one, about 18 months ago, but I had a weird feeling about him then. Hard pass. Plus, they don’t have rear wipers which is bs.

Interesting. I’d say the opposite. I think I’ve seen one current-ish Acura (Integra) in the past few months. Tons of new Volvos, though and mostly XC90s. And it’s not access... the dealerships are almost next to each other. Sonoma County, CA, for what it’s worth.

You probably know this, but you can ask to pay more for additional miles on your contract.

I’ve been half-looking for an [older] R107 for a while, which either gives definite design cache (yet just perfunctory luxuries, aside from build quality) and respectability, or hi-color, big bumper 70s sass. Then sometimes I think, this model, with Bracq’s finely pared back style, adds way more refinement, actual…

If you have nothing to sell, it’s presumptuous to presume interested customers will remain as such.
