They could try lifting it and putting some black plastic cladding on the wheel wells, I hear that’s pretty popular.

Realistically the main things they can do are to alter the suspension tuning (much like the first generation) and maybe have a slightly different differential that locks more aggressively. Engine tuning and changing gearing sound like big investments for little discernible reward, as it’s unlikely that Subaru have

It always struck me as a Jeep version of the Kia Soul. It’s pretty compact and the ones I’ve seen in the wild, at least, are pretty low to the ground.

follow California’s lead and set a date by which all new cars and passenger trucks sold be zero-emission vehicles

In an unreported letter going to Biden Monday, Democratic Senators Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein called on Biden”

I don’t get worked up about in. 98% in. 2% backed in when I’m serves me particularly

People are ignorant dildos because they see you drive past a spot and assume you missed it or were going for another spot?  Ok...

Then maybe they should secure it in their fucking truck rather than leaving it sticking out over the sidewalk so it smacks people in the shits.  Considering most of the hitches I see (in San Antonio) don’t even have the paint worn off them it’s not like they’re actually getting used for anything other than a lifestyle.

I like the fat quad exhaust tips and an actual color! Price seems high, so I had to check what an ’08 TL type-s cost back in the day, and it was nearly 40K. So, jumping ahead 13 years and maybe that’s reasonable?

They moved the “i” from the end of the number to the front and it now means something totally different. 

..and pass the dollars on to American businesses in one fell swoop.“

This is going to sound flippant, and I really don’t mean it that way. I think means testing should be avoided whenever practical.

/sigh... I just want an electric truck. A truck that does truck things and also happens to be an EV. I don’t want a personalized life affirming electric utility vehicle buying experience.

For light trucks and cars, road wear due to weight is negligible, especially compared to the use of studded tires.

There was a Jalopnik article recently talking about how bad trucks are. One of their main points was that trucks are too heavy and damage the infrastructure. No one makes those claims when it comes to EVs, yet the Model Y, S, and X all weigh more than my truck, the model 3 weights about as much, and all 4 of them are

of course, some of the heaviest vehicles for a given tire size are going to be EV’s

Something needs to be done for sure with gas tax as the fund is running low (especially since it’s being raided for other things), but I can’t abide a system that rides along with me via GPS or data collection via cellular (I assume the OBD reader transmit via cellular). I’m not a conspiracy nut, but I know my data

I would feel a lot better about this if they made vehicle weight a factor as well. If we are going to get into the nitty gritty of taxing people based on how much they use the road, then it should account for the exponential increase in wear applied by heavier vehicles.

Grand Wagoneer can miss me - but THIS i am in on. Affordable people and thing hauler that get better than 20 MPG. I love hatches vans and small cars - the world needs more smart thinking instead of just bigger is better thinking. 

$16,500 is E46 M3 money with those miles. Drop about $4k, and it might be worth checking out.
