The chrome wheels on the yellow one in the article aren’t doing it any favors either. 

Oh I’m 100% in favor of cool but ugly vehicles, don’t get me wrong. They just don’t always sell very well depending on the market niche. The Nissan Juke did surprisingly well.

I think the Vehicross was a little TOO niche. 2 door only at that price point was a bad call. Yeah, it came with a bunch of features but Jeep…

Cool? Yes.

Attractive? Not really. /opinion

Funny, Jalopnik was testing a Volkswagen California (based on the Transporter) in CA recently.

Saw a white R33 GTR at the movie theater in a small town in RI. Wouldn’t be so unusual now, but this was like 2012. 

It was probably a Renault Sandero, I see those and the Dusters in CA all the time

I think it would be even more rare to spot a Trabant with diplomatic plates.

Or a really good replica, depending on how little you were at the time lol

I wonder if they’re press cars doing road tests?

I lived in South Kensington, London for a while and that seems to be the natural habitat of the Cygnet. I saw 5 in a day once!

They sold X-Trails in Canada too, I’ve seen a couple in New England.

I have a habit of CPing anything modded over $10k but if the work was done right this is worth every bit of the asking price IMO. 

Nice, I’m your opposite coast twin I guess lol, I have a white Miata and black GTI! It’s a 2012 2 door 6 speed. Base model, I got it back in college. It’s on water pump #3 and recently had the cylinder head replaced lol. I’d say it’s unreliable but it really isn’t that bad. Carbon buildup is a bitch and the water pump…

It’s cool, I understand!

My dream is that we get electric cars that can be made to replicate the experience of driving other vehicles through some kind of augmented reality. Really good VR, I guess. The tech is plausible in my lifetime, I just don’t think there’s going to be much of a market for (for example) a Model…

Dipshits and dumbasses don’t need my help being dipshits and dumbasses. There are plenty of places for them to find opinions they like without having to search between the lines. As I’m sure you’ve seen, there are plenty of people who are explicitly anti-electric.

I note that you are the one who interpreted my…

I really don’t get the hostility, I’m simply positing that in general I find gasoline-powered cars more fun than electric ones. If that changes, awesome.

You’re arguing with my opinion on how vehicles drive, which seems a bit silly. If I had said some dumb shit like “Fuck electric cars, we should keep ripping…

Nope, you sure can’t. Pretty much all you can do in CA is register it as something else and get a bootleg smog, or register it out of state. Both of which can backfire in spectacular fashion. 

No, I don’t agree tbh. But I see where you’re coming from. 

True, AMG Hammer over G wagen any day. I just like the brutality of the old NA ones. The new turbo stuff is a little more subdued to drive and they’re basically just status symbols.

I have an ND2 Club RF, Arctic White. So far it just has an exhaust and ceramic coating, but I have some forced induction plans for it…

Relax lol I’m not trying to argue with you. I think you completely missed my point anyway if what you got out of that is that I love straight line speed.
