ok that makes 100% sense. so my neighbors new Cherokee is really a fiat 500 right?

good to know from someone who thinks a soarer and a lexus are a badge swap from being the same car.....

don't get me started

youre wrong they never made a left hand drive soarer for any market. heres the differences:

again were back to paying more for a worse car because the experience is awesome vs paying less for a better car and a terrible experience. Tom says buy the cheaper car screw service and I say find out whats more important to you and decide based on that

I agree

so you think this car for sale is a Toyota?

I don’t sit on a high horse and tell CarMax buyers they are dumb which tom sorta does...some people have less patience for bullshit than I do and that is ok in my book as carbuying sucks ass and dealers make the whole experience awful so going to CarMax and paying more makes sense to me and I don’t judge people for…

but the lexus isn’t a rebadged toyota.....its a different car from the very start. it was always destined to be a lexus and not a Toyota. rebadging sounds to me like building everything but the badge then adding that at the last second which isn’t what is happening here. so your rebadging something that will always be…

are you comfortable with dealers saying a car will be loaded up on a trailer tomorrow to head to auction if you don’t buy it? are you comfortable with dealers pressuring you into rustproofing? are you comfortable with dealers charging a $1000 reconditioning fee? are you comfortable with dealers tell you they can give…

for some people it is for others it isn’t. I went the non CarMax route and saved 4-6k. it was worth it for me but the experience was miserable and regular dealers really are as awful as you would think and CarMax really is as easy as they advertise. its completely no pressure

while I didn’t buy from CarMax I think its shocking a jalopnik writer doesn’t understand whats wrong with normal dealers and why people go to CarMax.

it costs more almost always and hes saying buy a car based on price not quality of service or sale. CarMax isn’t sleazy usually, non CarMax is sleazy usually

this article boiled down to don’t buy from CarMax there cars are more expensive than a non CarMax dealer. I could make an article saying don’t buy a burger from a restaurant when mcdonalds is cheaper. In life there is a correlation between service/product and cost. When I shopped for insurance for my focus I could’ve…

so somebody wants an easy friendly experience instead of a sleazy shark fest and you tell them that’s dumb because it costs more? CarMax is EASY. they don’t pressure you like other dealers do. other sites have a no haggle price quote sign up all you have to do is enter your email. im still getting emails and phone…

Cop who knows cars sees kid speeding from a distance in a frs looking car he reports a black scion frs. The other officers who don't know cars let a toyota gt86 go because it's not the car they are looking for

Again rebadge implied badge is the only thing that changed and that just isn't true. What I'm wondering is if you really think adding toyota badges to a lexus turns it into a toyota since they were only a badge apart from each other anyways. I assure you it doesn't this car will never be a toyota soarer because it's…

hes just saying in america the usual custom is to dress up your car to looks fancier or more expensive. theres people who take their 328i and add an M badge to looks like a more expensive model. Or they will just remove the 328i and buy an m3 badge again very stupid and not fooling anyone. But with that said i…

when did i say it wasnt a toyota in japan? are you mentally challenged? its a lexus here and a toyota in japan. this car is here so its a lexus not a toyota but not just because of the badge, because of the engine, gauges, steering wheel, VIN and many other differences. This car isnt a toyota it shouldnt have that…

Even stupider is downgrading your car by rebadging a nice acura as a shitty honda because JDM
