Someone also tell this to Ford and Toyota. Their leather steering wheels feel like sandpaper. 

Thank you for your input, but I completely disagree. I worked at our local BMW dealer as a lot porter back when these were new and I was a senior in high school. One of the benefits of that job was driving everything on the lot. The GM liked me (cause he played football in college and I was a football player) so he…

4th gear: Maybe Volvo has some data to support that the small portion of the populace who incorrectly believe that leather is somehow cruel, buy Volvo? Perhaps they have some data to suggest that the small portion of car buyers who think leather is cruel, have a lot of money and they want those buyers. I can only…

I have so many questions, but please don’t be offended by my initial statement. What made you want to ditch the ATS? Was it just the end of a lease? I’ve never even sat inside of an ATS, let alone driven one, but by and large people say nice things about them.

I have always been positively smitten by the Z4. And even more so by the coupe. Furthermore the Z4 M Coupe makes my heart skip a beat. All this is saying an awful lot for a guy like me who has been incredibly critical of BMW, but wow, just wow. I love everything about this car and I’m seriously considering calling my…

I park in a lot of hospital parking garages for work, or at least I used to back when they were letting reps in the door, and they seem to be the best adopters of EV charging stations. Most hospitals seem to have a half dozen EV park & charge spots in each garage, which may have something to do with doctors’…

I happen to think that the Q50 looks quite nice on the outside. The inside though? The interior trappings fall far short of its price point.

Always thought it kind of silly myself, as well. It’s not like the production of the “Limited” trim is limited by anything other than demand. And all too often “Premium” trim means vinyl seats.

Just came here to say that while the Tesla Model S is priced in the same stratosphere, it doesn’t come close to anything resembling the luxury of the EQS.
Edit: The Tesla Model S interior may pale in comparison, but at least it looks very nice vs. the EQS. The look of that super high cowl and A pillar placement on the…

The F-150 Raptor uses a 3.5, not a 3.0. In the words of my mgr, “plz fix, thx”

Says who? I’ve seen that written many places on the internet without any supporting evidence whatsoever. I can only write with the knowledge of my anecdotal experience being our house and the dozens of other couples we know who all have kids, and it isn’t the case in my experience.

Yes.

It’s kind of a catch-22 or something like that. If the Looney Tunes are dressed exclusively in jeans and a polo, then they’d be criticized for not being “inclusive” or some such nonsense. But dress them in something else and it’s all of a sudden a stereotype or “cultural appropriation”. My first question stands. How…

If an actual movie car with the glass safari roof and NVG’s in the back came up for sale, I would drop $40k in a heartbeat.

So, how would you have Tweety dress?

That press release from Ford is poorly written, which unfortunately leaves the door wide open for Shilling’s brain dead commentary such as, “...the sad state of fathers in America, in that moms still do almost all the heavy lifting.” He is seriously half a meatball.

I did some more in-depth reading and it makes some real mechanical improvements over the FX4 package, but I could go without the badges and other trim level accoutrements.

It’s .6" over the Wagoneer, not .6" over the standard Expedition. It will probably be pretty capable, at least in terms of gargantuan SUV’s.

Fantastic looking Explorer! Really great, and I would love to own it for $10,000.

The Explorer was BOF all the way through the 2010 model year.
