I think that “antiquated pushrod junk” will be more reliable and have a better long term cost of ownership than anything BMW makes currently. If it handles like a BMW and has the grunt/twist of a GM drive train, it may be a fun vehicle for the people who buy them. I am not a big GM fan, but I will admit they will…

VinFast also recently bought Holden/GM’s testing facilities at Lang Lang in Australia.

One of their best episodes. Clarkson on a motorcycle, well scooter, was great. 

Expensive now buy waaaaaay less visits to BMW shop for engine problems, usually stupid-ass/expensive and pointless issues in the long term. I like it!

I’m not saying buy a Supra but I wouldn’t be seen in a C8 unless you put a gun to my head. It’s one ugly motherfucker.

I’m with you, but there is one part of the equation you are leaving out - curb weight. A new car adds another 300 lbs or so to the mix. Not so sure that’s a good performance trade-off. Obviously, a new car is going to have plenty of added tech/safety features, but from a pure performance perspective, there’s certainly…

Yes, though it is probably a toss up. The manufacturer is reselling a car it already made money off of, probably at a price significantly higher that the residual agreed to in the lease. Manufacturers are also paid a fee by the dealer for that certification. Plus, the CPO buyer is more likely to continue servicing at…

I’m guessing it was a parts bin issue. They didn’t have a manual that could handle the v6 readily available. 

“Maybe these RAV4 buyers didn’t know that they could get an interesting car instead.”

Why replace the clutch then turn right around and sell it?

25K a year? That’s cute. How many $75-100K+ trucks does just Ford sell a year now? Just based on how many I see around I would say a multiple of that, at least. Loaded Limiteds and King Ranches are everywhere. The sheer profit there just boggles the mind.

Neutral: I don’t see an EV F-150 looking like a regular F-150 to be a downside. People in the market for a F-150 probably aren’t considering an EV to begin with. Having it look just like the ICE version with maybe some different badging is probably the best way to go. That way it’s not too obvious to other people who…

I bought one two months ago, and I absolutely love it. I wanted something fun and cheap for my kids to learn how to drive a manual, and it has been a blast. I used to think I might need a plug in hybrid for all the short trips I make daily, but this is a much much better solution.

Whats not to love about a backwards Corolla, with the right wheels being driven, with the engine in the right location, and the right way to shift your transmission? 

The seller’s time is so limited, they couldn’t bother to catch typos in the ad.

I’ve looked at this car.  The guy is every bit the delight he seems in the ad.

I’m torn. I want this, i just don’t want it for $8500. 

Shhhh.... Don’t tell them about the Spyders.

You’d have to be as dumb as Cardi B to buy this over a 944 (any variant).

I suspect it is simply varying regulations as to size and position of the turn signals. For certain that is the issue with the Mercedes - the turn signals in the headlight didn’t meet US requirements of the day, so they stuck those other ones on there. The other cars probably failed a height requirement in the US, so…
