I think they should reign back the increase in MSRP. It went from aspirational and expensive to just, damn, this shit is just overpriced now. If I were on a waiting list for a Macan and saw that my allocation would be under 2024 prices, I would cancel that order and buy and Audi SQ5 or AMG GLA/B. At that point, you’re…

Cycling is not a viable form of transit for most people, it is just a hobby. Maybe it is time to take your hobby off the road. Just like street racers in cars should take it to the track, so should cyclists. Stick to the park.

I mean, it looks pretty awesome overall...if the TRD Off Road comes with the right options ticked, with the hybrid, it’ll be one heck of a good truck!

You are absolutely right. Half the articles are anti-cars and fun.

I like your video and speculations. I agree with all of it. I’ve always loved Rallye racing and this would be a neat focus. An RS/ST would be cool, though I think those two would ultimately be very similar to the Rallye. An Ecoboost AWD seems like a nobrainer 

I speculated on as much, an ST/RS variant would seem silly not to do.

They have been peaceful, at least the vast majority have. I doubt you could find a protest where every single member is peaceful. You definitely wont find it from BLM or Antifa

Boring and ugly. Like a used bar of soap.

I agree...

60% of the people hospitalized in my area are fully vaccinated,

Heated steering wheel button on the Porsche Macan...unless you know where it is, you’ll never find it.

the PTV+ part is a simple electronically controlled active rear differential with brake based torque vectoring.  If I’m not mistaken, the Macan uses a fully active coupler with no center differential.  I also read that they are extending the warranty period on the T-case because of friction plate material problems.  

All bad suggestions. Someone straight out of college with reliable transportation shouldn’t be buying ANYTHING. How about paying down those college loans and investing into tax deferred retirement funds.

1st Gear.... I guess I gotta eat my words from yesterday. This has to be the first post (at least part of a post) that isn’t entirely negative from Erik that I can remember in a long time. Thank you! It gets so dreary continually reading blanket, negative, throw the baby out with the bathwater, type posts. Hopefully…

The higher end Lexus are legit luxury cars.

I know you hate the guy a lot, but a third interpretation could be he is repeating some things that have been said in various Democrat rallys and one vague statement taking credit for any new car factories in Michigan.

Is there a part of the world where first class seats are sometimes empty? I live in Chicago and travel frequently for work and have literally never seen this. Any first class seats that don’t get sold will go to one of the dozens of people on the upgrade list.

It’s got more space than the CX-30 and is dynamically superior to the CX-5. Is it the Goldilocks option of the Mazda lineup?

Good catch.  Yes, this is crack pipe for an S.

I don’t agree with Clarkson hating on Greta, but I think his message is valid. Why should we sit around and argue about how we are going to die and when we are going to die, instead of focusing on how to fix these issues?
