HOT TAKE: Any large German luxury sedan. BMW 5/7 series, Audi A6/7/8, Mercedes E-Class (S-Class are amazing but are just too problematic and costly to repair.)

Can he please, please, please please please please go to prison

It also doesn’t help that Nissan drivers have a universal, and well-deserved, reputation for being among the worst drivers on any road. 

The rental Rogue I had a few years ago was the only vehicle I’ve driven in the past 20 years that I would describe as dangerously slow. It struggled to merge into 60mph traffic, and slamming the pedal to the floor just produced a frenzied whine, but no real increase in speed. 

We’ll always have 2010 Altimas on bald tires swerving through traffic at 40mph over the speed limit to remember them by

I also fell prey to the Carvana offer for my 2018 GTI S, plaid seats, stick, the whole shebang. I sold it for more than I paid for it, 3 years after I bought it.

The SC430 has really grown on me, I think they’ll be future classics, no matter what Clarkson says. 

I’d take a dangerous city where I have freedom, family and mostly unfettered access to millions of dollars vs rotting in a Japanese jail cell for 20 years any day.

Japan has a 99.6% conviction rate for cases taken to court (about half are dropped before any trial), and you’re essentially held hostage until your case is heart, regardless of the evidence against you. Judges also often face political retribution for acquitting suspects, which can include dismissal.

Look, I have no idea whether Ghosn is guilty of the crimes he’s accused of, or of the profligate spending they claim he did. All I know is

Maybe not public transit per se, but...

My wife’s car is a 2022 Mazda 3 AWD turbo, and it’s faster and handles better than my 2018 GTI did. It’s an absolute steal.

the funny thing is I’ve been pulled over twice in those 8 years, and neither time the did the officer even mention the lack of a front plate.

I’ve never had a front plate on my car (in a state that requires it). Never once been ticketed in 8+ years.

Even saying the name Harley Davidson makes you think of the American flag.

My buddy’s 2021 truck came with about 5 mismatched or missing parts, including an entirely different color for the back seats. It was laughable. 

I’ve read this article twice and still don’t know what it’s about. 

This is the correct answer. I have a buddy who has a Unimog and it’ll go places that would shame a lifted Wrangler or Bronco.

DO get an A6. I’ve owned mine for 3 years and after an APR tune, it’s a sleeper missile that drives like an S-class. It’s also had zero issues in those years after I replaced the water pump.
