You can’t directly convert GBP MSRP to USD and claim it is relatively expensive. This crossover will probably start in $40k range USD. Which would undercut other(ie. Volvo XC60 recharge, BMW X3 xDrive30e) PHEV crossovers by at least $5k. It looks like this crossover, will be Mazda’s first contemporary vehicle, to to…

Yes, calling a family SUV that can hit 60 in 5.8 seconds slow is absurd. Slow compared to what, a McLaren? It’s a vehicle for picking up groceries and shuttling your kids around.

I would bet that for many people there wouldn’t be much difference if you calculated it.  Especially when you include that he doesn’t have a car or home, so that cuts a lot of expenses out.

Actuallly I (we) were thinking about something similar. Not a cruise ship but an all-inclusive somewhere in the Caribbeans. A good retiring home would cost about 2400$ for 2 per month. A nice all-inclusive would cost about 200$ a week (800$ per month) including booze, and restaurants, and beach.

Money laundering? but FF was more like money shredding.

This one is on the higher end of the price scale for these at this mileage, but the condition also reflects that price, as a lot of them are pretty beat up - when you can find them at all, as the pickings are slim.

They are a cool performance SUV that have loads of potential and can tow 6600lbs. We have one nearby that…

Some of the serious issues were behind the scenes with the engineering and prototypes. We called the whole thing “Faraday Fire-Drill” because it was always some alarm or another going off for rush on prototypes.

So yes, for stuff that really requires infrastructure and ongoing variable cost, I’m not against this model.

But I thought AMC invented the crossover coupe segment? 

2. How do you change the lights? You have a headlight out. You have to pop them up to change them, which means you have to turn them on. Or you can use some sort of screw jack thing, which either doesn’t work right, or you forget about and you end up winking.

It seemed promising at the time. They hired a lot of good engineers from around the industry, but it seems like either the leadership sucked at keeping investors around or, like you said, it was a bit more of a facade than that. They did have running and driving prototypes before well before Nikola was pushing fake…

The Montreal’s got covers that pop down.

I actually really like these. Looks like a baby Challenger (kind of) with the lids down. I am... not sure why they even have the eyelids, though.

Well, I’m on the unpopular side of this once again. Services a la carte? Yes. I’m all for it. Services with a contract? No.

It depends on how many pop-up headlights,

Easy: the Porsche 928:

Pop up headlights suck in all cases and anyone who thinks otherwise has never lived with them in a snowy climate.

This. I just upgraded both of my cars to a new head unit with Android Auto. I paid a guy to come to my house to install both cars for only $100 travel fee. There were lots of other (reasonable) fees for the actual install & parts, but $100 for not having to drive to a shop & wait around all day was sooooo worth it.…

$12k for a really nice one, so at CarMax pricing this seems about right.
