You can get the Premium RWD ones for that kind of money. And the Selects are already there.

a 2022-23 VW Arteon fits the bill. 27 cu ft of storage, significant comfort, 32 mpg, and the Golf R engine and transmission combo means 300-hp and a 4.6 0-60.

No idea, I get an EV discount with NJM. It was $20/mo cheaper than the Jetta I was shopping, and $23/mo cheaper than the Arteon.

I used my Z-plan to get a new Mach-E for around these used money and even the eAWD Ext Battery non-GT models are entertaining enough to drive when you want to.

Do not get the Sentra or Kicks. Even with the theft issues for years of Hyundai /Kias, they’re better cars to use and abuse than the Sentra or Kicks.

I more mean towards banks and the lending industry than the buyers using it.

I’m more speaking to the banks making this possible, not the consumer.

Triple mine if I keep the property tax escrow out of it. And I’m in NJ. Crazy expensive.

We learned nothing from the subprime lending fiasco.

You could make this list and just have the M5 as the top 8 places for the different generations. It really is the template for the entire concept of a sports sedan.

Is this the approved way to put these out?

The E39 540i would be second on the list. Then the other M cars come into play, starting with the E34, E30, and the others.

Literally every event. It’s usually pretty cheap and is part of the sponsorship you put up as a business in buying the signs and other stuff.

Came here to say, this is likely coming from the insurance policy. We ran a Hole-In-One lease giveaway at a dealer I worked for decades ago and the fine print made it nearly impossible to claim as the rules were water-tight and most likely have a violation the group could find to not pay out.

... and qualified immunity.

Based on the responses I’m seeing to this situation, the “Don’t Tread on Me” crowd sure seems to love when others get treaded on.

Crumple zones?!

This assumes the driver is looking in the first place, but we have to admit, front-end visibility is getting much worse on new SUVs, especially compared to the sedans and station wagons of yore.

Lowest Bidders at work!

Brightly painted, loud cars in general, but my specific experience was my 1994 Ford Lightning in red.
