Anyone cross shopping an A4 or 330i with a CTR is confused as to what they are trying to achieve. 

Feels like the container shortage was a crock of sh*t since product was also in short supply at the same time. Its not like the shipping/logistics industry is the most on-the-level so lying and price gouging is definitely not out of bounds.

Dropping the 2.0t option is foolish to me. There’s no way they were so desperate to skimp on emissions and fuel economy while the Pilot, Passport and Odyssey still use the same V6 they’ve been using since 05. 

Its like a CB7 Accord mixed with a new Passat. I’m not mad at it at all.

All it needs is a j-swap and its perfect

I could have told you that when I saw them sharing donuts and coffee with the protesters on live TV and openly professing their support for the movement to force Trudeau out of office on TikTok 

Battery cutoff maybe?

A forklift gig at most warehouses is the best gig for the money if you’re okay with not seeing sunlight for extended periods of time

My life would be perfectly balanced if I drove a 90s Honda Civic Hatchback (EF/EG/EK). I could also work with a CRX but I’d be too terrified to drive it in case something or someone broke one of the rear windshields or taillights.  

You’d be surprised how many people 35 to 45 would also fall into the buyer base for a van like this. There’s a decent amount of nouveau riche millennials thanks to the tech and real estate boom of the last decade.

Because most people can’t tell the difference and even most enthusiasts can’t immediately tell if its dark out

Big power, muted colours, 4 or more doors, respectable decibel levels, relatively boring body styling. Could be a 96 Impala SS with an LS swap, a supercharged Lexus GS, a 2000 or early 2010s AMG, M-Car or RS car, V-Sport Caddy, etc. etc.

Nothing has ever creeped me put like the front fascia of the 1980s Econoline vans. It's given me chills since the first time I saw one at 4 years old. It just looks like it eats children. 

If they made a 2/3 scale version it would sell like hotcakes in major cities and suburbs 

Sounds like the buyer should just buy the cleanest Tundra/Tacoma they can afford and move on with life. An SUV also isn’t a bad option but hauling parts is a good way to completely ruin a perfectly good interior with rust, dirt and smelly grease stains that will NEVER come out.

You know a car is f-u-c-k-e-d when 79 man hours of 1990s Honda QC can’t get the damned thing to act right. 

You use the electric motor more in the city at low speeds. 

Considering that 80s and 90s cars are officially considered historic/classic; I’ll toss the majority of American luxury cars in the hat. Doesn’t matter if it was a Ford, GM or Chrysler product. If it was American designed and built to “compete” with foreign makes like Mercedes, BMW and Lexus; they were probably badge…

The GM Atlas 4.2 is the American Barra that we had and never fully appreciated. It's stout, loves boost, is cheap as corn flakes and thanks to it only being available in the Chevy Trailblazer, GMC Enjoy and Oldsmobile Bravada, it's low on the list of swappable motors as far as demand is concerned. 

Ironically enough, the XKR is the most reliable Jaguar ever from what I’ve seen and researched. Then again, JLR people tend to be liberal with the usage of “reliable”.
