This list is practically every hybrid car on the market within the price range. The only ones excluded are listed as “not tested” by CR.

1. European markets use different fuel economy measurement standards that are designed for lower speed driving, and in the UK, they use a larger gallon. Both of these make their cars appear to be more fuel efficient. So the 2022 Prius, for example, is rated at 67mpg in UK, but 52 mpg in the USA. So 60mpg UK sounds…

On the Dodge Viper, the dealer was probably still charging a dealer markup - amiright?

To me, the real hero of this list is the one guy who bought a brand-new Dodge Viper in 2024. That is a baller move,

V6 pony car was only to have me remind them a v6 Camry was quicker

I thought about this as well, but that country would then have to deal with the US, United Kingdom, and Germany, which would be a bad idea.

These things are cool, but keep in mind you’re still buying an incredibly rare (6600 units), $150k (in 2014 $) BMW supercar. Granted, they have half a B58 motor mounted to a Rav4 transmission, so the powerplants should be okay vis-a-vis parts availability. I’ve not looked into the battery packs on these specifically,…

The new Camry is a nice car. The new hybrid system feels faster than the 232hp would suggest and Toyota’s tuning with the transmission is ace. The engine responds to inputs immediately. You can’t brake boost toyota hybrids, which makes their standing start times artificially low.

I’d bet that’s one of the few things the US is #1 in that Fox News will never say.

Someone else mentioned their sovereign wealth fund, but didn’t really emphasis the size of it. It holds $350k per person, holds 1.5% of every public company in the world, 2.3% of all European public companies, and it slated to double in size by 2030. Keep in mind that these percentages are achieved in spite of the…

I’m a bit surprised that Norway never attempted to greenfield an EV startup, knowing that they have a healthy domestic market that would bootstrap the brand.

It sucks how far the Versa has fallen. back in the aughties, the Versa hatchback was the best economy car on the market. It was quiet, smooth, efficient, had a banging sound system, and good utility. Plus a solid 6MT if that was your jam.

Might as well include the Wrangler here too. They are the most miserable driving experience ever. It’s a testament to the lengths people will go to in order to look good.

Old lady cars are great for short people.  Who knew?

Minivans are huge. Which is great if you have the space for a giant vehicle, but not everyone does.  OP lives in Long Island, so I’m guessing they want something smaller because finding a spot that a minivan can fit in is a pain.

It’s Heavy as fuck, underpowered and SLOW, the interior looks terrible, and

These aren’t dream cars for most people. Hellcats, sure, but those are like 1% of sales. The bulk of buyers are cost conscious and the $60k starting price is an immediate no-go, regardless of how good the car is.

and the big rig caused pot holes on the syncrete and the chances for damage increase exponentially.

the lowered ride height here in Chicago is simply a non-issue, even in the winter.

Do you remember a time when pickup trucks didn’t own the top selling vehicle spots in the USA? I don’t. I had to look it up, it was 1981. Since 1981, the best selling vehicle in the USA was a truck.
