Does it suck as much as the Blazer EV supposedly does?

Shes...already off the lift.

On the nitrogen-filled tires, it does technically cost the dealership extra. In no way should it cost hundreds of dollars, though. If they do it right, they will spend time to purge the “regular” air from the tires then fill with nitrogen.  It should not be a top off, otherwise you haven’t gained the full benefits.

That’s presumably what the last paragraph meant:

If fuel mileage were age, the GX wouldn’t even be able to vote! Depending on the situation, it might not even be old enough to have a driver’s license.

So which new Kia are you trading the Telluride for?

On their M models, BMW has jumped around with dual stalks, slim stalks and faux dual stalk like you pointed out.

2000-ish Pontiac Grand Am with the twin stalked side-view mirrors. So fragile that a lot of automatic car washes have banned the Grand Am due to liability issues.

In terms of the boundaries between car types, there is definitely a lot of overlap and gray area these days. That is why I put “SUV” in quotes. Subaru classifies the Crosstrek as such, but it feels weird to call it that.

There is probably a very good reason why Mazda couldn’t just poof 3" of interior space into existence. We just aren’t privy to it.

He could have been charged...but since there appears to be no conclusive evidence, the charges wouldn’t have gone anywhere.

This is a really good list!

It can’t be misleading if you can’t figure out the name in the first place!

For me, its that 10 year old family car with faded paint, a squeaky drive belt and half a dozen bumper stickers about their kids’ school and their teams. It’s 1 major repair away from being traded in, then sent off to a life of obscurity at Dale’s 1 Owner Used Cars lot in the middle of Alabama.

My wife’s nickname for me is “Little Chuckle”.  I wonder why...

From a purely technical perspective, the Impreza and Legacy sedans do cost less. The Crosstrek is their entry-level “SUV”.

Here’s what their marketing department has to say:

Yes, that’s what I understood.  Still weird!

Tesla has always given me a strong vibe of “this car is not truly complete.” I had some seat time in a 2023 model and for one, the freaking cruise control wouldn’t work without a software update. The screen was nice and big but the position was terrible and the interface looked no better than a 2nd rate smartphone. …
