Those are one of the main reasons I do not like Porsche. They help contribute to the sheer ugliness.

You forgot one thing.

Still waiting for the real world where every one has a hitch ball-mount installed all the time and someone drops down their fancy tailgate and punches a hole through it.

Ok, you win there, in a rugged 4x4. But in a luxury truck, a knob.

4WD selector should never be buttons anyways. It should always be a knob.

1.57 lbs per hp

Animals don’t belong in the car. Or the house. Unless they are on my plate of course.

Do you know what else doesn’t ruin pickup trucks? Turbos. After driving one of them Ecoboosts, I don’t see why anyone would want a V8 except for the sound.

In what world does one think of the Tundra when one thinks of “old school” truck? Tundra doesn’t even enter my mind when I think of truck. Period.

So how are they doing this? I’m guessing they are front wheel drive with no center diff, but rather just a clutch between the rear driveshaft and rear wheels? Are the rear wheels overdriven? Otherwise you can’t get a rear bias. The most you could achieve is a 50:50 front/rear torque split with the clutch locked up…

No trailer brake controller or cooled seats are deal breakers for me.

Was it really the first electronic parking brake? What model year was it first released? The 2003 Lincoln LS introduced an electronic parking brake.

If there is a sport package option on a vehicle, you ALWAYS check that box, no matter how minute the package is. I thought this was common knowledge?

Must have smelled the granola.

What are you talking about? What kind of cars are you buying that can’t go past 100,000 miles? There is no way you are going to convince me buying a new car is cheaper than a used car in the long run.

Ford Raptor of course.

It sure does. It has a direct bearing on MSRP. You don't think customers take the credit into account when making their purchase decision? Haha that's laughable. It also affects sales. These both affect profit margin.

How can one determine profitability when there is a hefty tax credit? Remove the tax credit and lets see how profitable it is.

Excluding manual transmission cars, cars should have 2 pedals. A go pedal and a stop pedal. They should coast freely when neither pedal is pushed.

Turbo four-cylinders? No you can’t.
