Interior looks cheap and feels cheap.

For someone who just needs an inexpensive car to get from A-B and occasionally to C, it’s honestly hard to beat the Corolla hybrid. It’s not exciting, but it will get you, 3 other people, and some stuff where you need to go and sip fuel on the way there and back.

$25,890 for Trax equipped similar to the one tested.

How about instead of wasting time trying to market sedans and coupe’s again, everyone just bring their wagons here. Market those, push those as CUV light. Make them all AWD and focus on the outdoorsy (or want to be outdoorsy) people.

he’s not wrong. I mean an S-Class is much more expansive than a entry level Kia Sportage.

I remember not so long ago that young men, seeking the favors of young women, would drive sexy two door cars to project an image.  Now they want to drive the box the sexy car came in.  I don’t get it.  

“all of which tend to be cheaper than their SUV counterparts”

CUVs are just crappy versions of station wagons. Andy even included a description that made it clear that “car” was not limited to sedans. If footprint was everything, then there’d be more hatchbacks. As for sedans, I don’t much like them either, but a lot of people love having the luggage fully separated from the…

Really? comparing a Corolla Cross to a GR86? and a Cx50 to a Miata? LOL

A CUV is a shittier version of a wagon. Taller, worse mpgs, can hold less stuff, etc. I get that wagons aren’t in fashion anymore, but they’re measurably better at most things than a CUV is. Every soccer mom driving around in an empty Escalade/Suburban/X7/Yukon/Grand Wagoneer really just needs a wagon.

This is absolutely correct.

I think Doug DeMuro was singlehandedly responsible for CarMax changing their warranty policies. This couldn’t happen today.

“One day, when all these useless politicians (on both sides) stop their pissing matches over who can screw whose base over more, I might be able to get an EV, that I can charge at a convenient place, for less than my yearly salary. Maybe even, dare I say, get a rebate?”

Stellantis/BMW’s fault for not spec’ing the correct fuel pump.

The previous CP3 was fine with North American fuel. The CP4 is failing - and it’s the fuel’s fault? Ram has gone back to the CP3 for a reason.

Don’t forget the far better PTO, unlimited sick days, 32 hour, 4 day workweeks.

Or the auto manufacturers chose a pump supplier that didn’t meet the requirements of the fuel.

Every time I sat in one, I was disappointed. I liked the smaller size. But I just can’t even see out of it. And I don’t even mean to the side or rear. The stupid unnecessary elevated gauges binnacle blocks like 30% of forward vision.

The 6th Gen is what happens when you use fanbois as your focus groups: You give them all of their asks which prices the car out of their reach, completely miss the criticisms that the rest of the world had of the previous generation, and then stand dumbfounded when no one is buying your car.

I feel like I should care about this much more than I do. Like I appreciate that it’s basically the equivalent of a GT3 RS for drag racing, but you can already see the writing on the wall. We’re going to see innumerable articles about how dealers are marking them up, one is going to sell at BJ for like $2.5M for some…
