A shiny but slapdash respray in an incorrect color is actually more off-putting to some than a three-speed slusher (still pretty common in those days), but it’s still a good deal for an appealing car that otherwise looks to be in pretty decent shape. I’d want a local BMW expert to independently corroborate that…

This design reminds me of when the 1994 Ram came out, but with the opposite effect. 

The pic with the tray bed looks a lot better.  Furthermore, why don’t they bring the tray bed here, that would really differentiate them from the competition.

2nd Gear, Re: New Products...what about the Jeep Recon? I think that will be here sooner than the Rams, but not sooner than the Charger. Just my guess.

Magnum P.I.(ckup) 

This was my thought as well.  I don’t think it’s really that polarizing or even that different... it’s just a slightly uglier Jeep Gladiator, which is already ugly af on it’s own.  I’ll give it a couple of months before Jalop is posting articles about it being the best truck design in automotive history, just like…

Retro designs of 20 years ago? But the New Beetle, the new MINI, the T-Bird, the PT Cruiser, the 5th Gen Mustang... they all came out in... [checks notes]... crap. I’m old.

It’s almost like they kind of wanted to make a Jeep Gladiator, but they ordered it from Wish.com

This looks like a modern interpretation of the old Dodge Power Wagon. It’s not a looker, but it’s striking for sure and I can see where some of the inspiration comes from.

It means “we suck less than we did last quarter, but we still missed our goals”

All of the other IRA credits will probably be gone, but the EV one will stay. Which is ironic because it’s the one Trump has been most vocal about!

Trump will be the next president, but not necessarily because he wins. The GOP has created so many loopholes to put their thumb on the scale, from installing election workers who will refuse to certify results, or GOP-led states that can simply refuse to certify their election and send their elector votes to congress.

John Lennon-bespeckled Axl is the best Axl.

4th Gear: “I’m proud of the progress but we’re not satisfied at all,”

Farley did say bonuses may change depending on the automaker’s fourth-quarter performance.

Temp tag and respray — this one will be a bit of a gamble. To be honest, if the seller can be talked down a bit I’d NP it, assuming there isn’t something totally FUBARd with the title or horrendous underbody rust or something. The automatic sucks but as an older cruiser that looks sharp and can be driven without too…

Between the temp tags, the respray in a different color/painted black trim, and speedometer in mph... Something doesn’t add up.  Are there major issues/reason why the car wasn’t registered/owned long term by the seller?  I’d walk away and find another one.  Lots of 6-series around, and most are reasonably priced.

There it is again… that god awful primer gray paint. Mercedes, please have some class. 

Wow, we’re finally bringing back the MPV!

This one has that signature deep trunk you only see in minivans, so it’s an SUV with a function of a minivan. It’s more functional than the ID Buzz.
