I don’t get why they call it terrible in the article, I mean it’s not a great car by modern standards but at the time it was a good muscle car and especially the variants were great.

The S197 Mustang, especially the Bullitt model in 2008/2009.

This was exactly my thought, in additional to the per mile tax there is some sort of multiplier for the weight of the vehicle.  Heavier vehicles cause more damage, so they would have a higher multiplier.  So if you were still driving a relatively featherweight ICE vehicle that gets great MPG, you are still paying less…

I think this argument distracts from the point of the gas tax in the first place, which isn’t to encourage efficiency but as a way to pay for infrastructure that everyone uses. The idea behind it being a gas tax was that it used to be generally true that heavier cars used more fuel and cause more roadway damage so…

I can’t agree with this yet.

Look at the size difference for fucks sake. You get hit by the small one and you roll off. You get hit by the big one and you’re paste. I’m not tall, mind you, but most pickup trucks grills are taller than I am. And the top 2 vehicles sold? Silverados and the F-series.

Yeah, or guys fresh off the plane from India on H1B living like sardines in a cheap apartment in Mountain View which is why big tech wants cheap guest workers 

This sounds just like alleged shortage of software engineers used to justify H1B visas. The problem is companies wanting a CS graduate with 5 years experience to work a 60 hour week in Silicon Valley for $40,000.

I hire a person to walk 50 feet ahead of me ringing a bell and calling out that a vehicle is coming and will be there in less than a minute.

There’s a shortage of employers willing to pay pilots what they’re worth.

Bingo. It looks like the designer was inspired by Hot Wheels.

The new Supras problem is that it’s ugly in pictures and ugly in person.

That reads like something a ChatBot or a teenager would lift from somewhere else when asked to describe the LC.

There is a new 4Runner based on this platform coming. As well as a new, smaller for the US Land Cruiser based on this platform coming too!

If you are just leasing, the other options have some traction.  If you are buying and planning on keeping it beyond the warranty period then you are out of your mind to buy the G wagon or Land Rover anything.

They’re not that off the mark. Reliability has improved but it’s still a Land Rover which means it’s not going to be at the Japanese level. And the way the Defender was designed means that it’s a lot harder to deal with issues in the field in comparison. That’s why they’re less suitable for overland than previous…

Yes it does - I have a 2018 and both the second and third rows fold flat.

Cht,

Mitsubishi.

As others have said - Tesla for me. And it is largely because of Musk. If he’d remained a quirky, largely politically agnostic, eccentric billionaire - whatever.  But in my opinion he’s doing real, profound, damage to our society at this point.
