You’re not wrong.

Weird, here in the US in addition to the usual boring white/silver/gray/tan/black there are various red, blue and green options, all of which can be had with not-black interiors. 

Why do you believe that being a parent and being cool are mutually exclusive?

Recently, I very scientifically polled (by posting the question on facebook, of course) my peers with kids on why they drive SUVs/CUVs instead of minivans. The responses broke down into 3 categories:

Minus the space efficiency, too. 

Fwd comfy cruiser sedans aren’t exactly high up on my list of cars to buy, but I actually find the ES to be a pretty decent looking car.

I’m happy to call out insignificant pieces of shit like you. I’ve dismissed all your comments in this thread. Enjoy. 

If you’re going to call my masculinity into question because of my chosen pet you’ve picked the wrong person. I’m built like an NFL player and like fluffy kitties too. If you think this makes me less of a man that just shows how insecure and worthless you are. Go take your tired toxic male act back under the rock you…

I am a man and love my 3 cats. So does my wife.

BRB gotta go get me some pho for lunch.

Can we stipulate that the surface of the koi pond must be frozen, in order to adorably mess with cats?

Your family is clearly a representative sample of the typical car buyer.

This predates the US CHMSL requirement by a good decade or so.

You’re certainly entitled to your preference, but a modern turbo 4 with a quick-spooling small turbo will make its peak torque much earlier in the rev range than an NA V6 with similar peak #s. For the way most people drive luxury crossovers, that low RPM torque is arguably more useful than a somewhat peakier NA V6.

When new, S13s were reasonably popular, but S14s weren’t. By the mid/late 90s when the S14 came out, most of the sporty fun entry/mid-level Japanese cars were 170-200 hp vs only 155 hp in the 240.

The X5 is an outlier in the segment. The majority of medium/large-ish (190-200 inches long) crossovers from premium brands start with a turbo 4 or NA V6. For example:

Pointing out that something you said is your opinion does not excuse you if the thing you said is objectionable.

Sorry to say but it’s not my burner. I don’t need to pretend to be the people who wrote this thing to make my point. The filmmakers’ intent with Lisa was readily apparent to me. I’m happy to confront misogynistic assholes head-on with no fakery.
