Guess what? Your wish has already been granted, albeit with a couple extra doors.

The X2 M35i and upcoming 2020 Mini Clubman & Countryman JCW all compete directly against the A35 and S3. It’d be nice to see a more-bonkers BMW version to compete against the A45 and RS3. But we’re not hurting for options.

The M135i is a direct competitor for the A35 (and S3). Here in the US we get the same basic car in the form of the X2 M35i, and upcoming 2020 Mini Clubman & Countryman JCW.

2-box is a better shape for fitting more stuff inside than 3-box. But a lighter, lower, 2-wheel drive 3-box is more efficient than a heavier, taller, all- wheel drive 2-box.

I wear tights at the gym, with shorts over them, for several reasons including the Many Women Don’t Really Want to See That factor.  

I’m a man. I wear tights at the gym, because I get cold if when I sweat in a not-very-warm gym. This happens year-round because most gyms I’ve gone to, in the winter they only run the heat just high enough for people not to complain about the cold, but in the summer the AC is cold enough and people have fans blowing…

EVs are becoming increasingly common at least in major metro areas. I’m in the DC area and there are plenty of Teslas, with a smattering of other stuff like Chevy Bolts, Kia Soul EVs and Audi e-Trons.

But are you talking NA or TT? I know the TT is difficult but the 2+2 is NA only...

Hey, they didn’t specify rear-facing...BUT!

Porsche 911s handle kiddie seats fine, I don’t see why this would be different.

Legless Canadians, small children, close enough, right?

No offense to the Prelude, Integra and RSX but what about the Z32 300ZX 2+2?!

How bout this?

My local Hyundai dealer is advertising their Veloster Ns with a $495 discount, plus a few not-everyone-qualifies incentives like military, loyalty & college grad.

If all you meant to say was “these vegan processed food companies are profitable because lots of people are buying their products,” then why ascribe it to “vegans as a whole?” Your choice of words could just as easily be read as the majority of vegans eat the stuff often. And if you were concerned about clearing that…

How do you know that "vegans as a whole" are "eating this stuff by the truckload"?

Ok fine we have to go pedantic? Yes, they said “I think,” that “many” vegans went vegan for superficial-to-them reasons, and then continued on to state that the reason they think this is based on their experience with one specific vegan. Which is generalizing about a whole group based on experience with one member.…

I’ve assumed nothing. You said:

This has nothing to do with a science-speak or a lab environment or the real world. For a conclusion to be true, it must be based on facts.

That’s not how this works. You made a conclusion that’s not supported by your premises. You need more information to support your conclusion. You’ve done everything except provide more information to support your conclusion. I hope you have a nice life.
