Holding out for the bigger Bronco hoping it comes with the engine used in the raptor.

Only stating the obvious that you clearly missed and missed again. Keep trying bud, maybe you’ll get there.

A manual car is not the epitome of happiness, again that is subjective. Stop trying to make a statement that is supposed to hold true for everyone.

Well some of us can’t have a second car nor change jobs with the same pay so easily (def not taking a pay cut for a closer job either). So what do we do? We comprise and get a sporty car with a rather decent auto trans. In my case I picked up a S3 and still have fun in the canyons.

“If your car is no fun because of your commute, don’t change the car....” 

Yea well when you’re total average speed of driving (not just work commuting) is 20 mph, then I would choose an auto to make it more bearable.

Yea well having to pick your gear going through dead stop traffic isn’t much fun either...

This may come as a shocker, but some people actually buy trucks as their daily driver and may want some creature comforts. Crazy, I know.

Most people care about that when 95% of their diving is commuting.

My god that joke is so over used it makes yo mama look good.

Having owned and been in different jdm vehicles, I just can’t stand the quality of the interior. The cheap hard plastic feel bothers me enough that it keeps me in euro cars.  However the Kia stinger did have me second guessing that notion.

I had a A3 FWD as a loaner once and my god it was a horrible experience. It sounded like a diesel and was super jumpy when starting to accelerate. I took it back next day and requested a car that wasn’t a A3.

Not sure about Miata but interior quality/feel of the GTI was(is) much better than Japanese vehicles I’ve been in. Interior feel has always been higher on my list and going from VW to Toyota, I can definitely feel the difference of quality with Toyota being the lesser.

I know a couple local dealers selling select wranglers/rubicons for a couple grand under MSRP. Not sure if that what exactly you’re looking for or if that kind of discount is worthwhile though. My buddy just picked up a Rubi at Ellis Jeep in Glendale, CA for $2300 under MSRP but they wouldn’t budge any further on the…

In retrospect, my localized response was directed at the invalidity of your generalized response.

That is true but again purchasing a truck out of state is not worth the time for most people. Also have to take into consideration travel expenses and if it would be worth it to buy far out of state. I actually just sold my T4R Trd Pro (amazing resale value) and holding out till the Bronco hits the market.

Yes but you fail to understand the market. Most buyers want a double cab, which yes the Sr5 V6 has. However, you will rarely find one in 4x4 which is going to push you into the TRD Off road trim. I just took a look at the inventory of one of the largest SoCal Toyota dealers and no Sr5 listed came in the 4x4 config.  I…

You must be new....take a trip to the west coast and you’ll see where the majority of these sales will end up.

I disagree. You forget there’s a huge overland/off road hype going on right now. These trucks will fit right into that market.

Did you not see the comment saying sure they start in the 20s but anything with decent options is going to get you into the 40s....A Tacoma TRD Off Road are listed at 38-39k which is not he highest trim available.
