My only derision of CVT’s is I seriously question the longevity of them.

Oh balls tesla did that bullshit thing including the tax credit in the “msrp”.

Considering a new leaf is almost to the cost of the cheapest model 3... its getting rather close.

Im going to take a chance on a ~5 year old Leaf in roughly 4 years. Should have decent stocks of the 200mi range one on the used market by then I hope.

We tried to pass it in missouri (It didnt).  I actually voted yes too.  Kinda sad as we already have the lowest gas taxes in the country here.

im not even a truck guy and a big diesel truck gets me a little “excited”.

I thought statistically it was the other way around though....

Nice try. I award you no points. Please turn in your victim card at the front desk.

wrx/sti also hold their value insanely well too which is unusual for a car.

Why would a truck last any longer than a car?  Its not like they are built to better standards.  What deep dark crevice did you pull that anecdote out of?

The altimax drift sideways rather nicely if you use enough throttle.  Not that... I err know anything about that.... at all...

I took this approach recently when my car after leaving its relatively warm insulated garage at 32f/0c and driving to work, it then it sat outside all day in weather at 3f/-16c.

Rather enjoyed my civic when I had it (till it got totaled). Went to buy the same car again (two years later) only to find out they no longer offered the trim I had with a manual... welp im out seeya honda.

Saw a 2019 accord at the autoshow last week... Thing looked damn amazing. My dad also adores his ridgeline. 

And im assuming a comparable brand SUV/Truck has WAY bigger margins too.

Minivans are exceedingly underrated for the utility they have.  Hell one moved me in and out of dorms and apartments multiple times with ease. 

personally driving a manual, awd, turbo, sedan. Come fight me trucks and crossover hoards.

Give then amount of parts and the LARGE FIREBALL kind of everywhere.  Not much that they could do on a two lane narrow road.

To the best of my parents knowledge i never touch myself.

Simple.  Dont hit a semi.
