28hp/L...gross!

Yeah. Tesla’s charging network has always been a critical part of their value proposition. No other manufacturer comes close to touching it.

I also had an experience with a dealership trying to weasel their way around a written, itemized offer. I practically held the quote in front of my face with each of the 4 different papers I signed, because the whole process is designed to be confusing.

The car of the 2000s is the Luxury Crossover. Lexus and Mercedes-Benz started the party by releasing the RX and ML in the late 1990s. Between 2000-2010 the following models were newly released, each being the first of their kind for the brand:

Hi Mr. Dealership,

Our 1 and only Hyundai was a V6 Santa Fe. It reminded me of a Korean Chrysler. Packed with value (features per dollar) but lacking in refinement and dealership experience. The “welcoming area” at our local dealer’s service department was subpar at best.

I suppose that’s where it originally came from. I distinctly remember a detailing pro that described the method for automotive glass in a recent video.

I forget where I learned this tip but it sounds great: when cleaning glass, alternate directions. For example: wipe up and down on exterior glass, and up and side to side on interior glass. That way, if you miss a spot you can tell where it is by the direction of the smear.

That’s not quite what he said. He said a showroom perfect car with low miles and no modifications would be worth $10k (to him). The car in this article has double the miles with modifications and a rebuilt title. It’s all that stuff combined that diminishes the value.

There probably wasn’t much case for a V6, either. The 2nd gen RDX, which featured a standard V6 and was released just 2 years after the TSX wagon, was probably what Acura wanted people to buy anyway.

It’s such a shame this car was never offered with stick shift, especially since the TSX sedan already had one. I guess the TSX wagon was already a niche model that was quickly getting overshadowed by the RDX, and no good business case could be made for a manual variant.

I’m not sure about that. Everything coming off the ship looks to have a white tarp around it.

Oops, my mistake

Weasel Words in the legal disclaimers.

Here’s a photo from another source that shows the front section completely missing the glass. Perhaps that was the point of failure, or perhaps the failure was with the hull and pushed the glass out.

Customers called the cops first, then the cops went to the owners.

*rich person huff* it’s Panamericana! Don’t you dare confuse my Mercedes with that dreadful Porsche.

Those Ambient Light colors are pretty gaudy, and can easily be changed to something more subtle.

The Beetle Dune (yes that’s the official name) was the closest thing to a rugged-ized Beetle
