I don’ t know how anyone could recommend a GTI / R with the complete fucking disaster that is the infotainment / control structure. I test drove a GTI a week or so ago... it was BEYOND annoying. I mentioned it to the sales person and he agreed saying “yeah, it’s pretty bad, not sure why they didn’t just stick to…

Interesting. Of the three Genesis dealers I went to all of them shared the exact same space as the Hyundai counterparts.

Only one had a dedicated Genesis sales person available...

I really do want to check out the Genesis “dealership” in the meat packing district in NY.

No, it’s not.  At least not yet.  I test drove a GV70 this past Saturday and the entire event was conducted through a Huyndia / Genesis dealer.

I test drove one on Saturday as a friend was purchasing a g80 sedan... the interior is a special place.  Everything was nice to touch.

This is the part I don’t understand:

I jumped into a Passat this past weekend after testing driving the fucking awful GTI (it was fanastic to drive but that interior was anger inducing).  I owned a B5.5 Passat and absolutely loved that car.  It’s a shame what it has become. 

Gay republicans.  I mean it says it all right there...

Another consideration is how items can simply roll across the floor and become entangled in the pedals / feet of the driver.  Bad design. 

Dear Hyundai / Kia / Genesis,

Uggh.  Talk about a dystopian future. 

I don’t know... I just thought it was in poor taste. I’m not saying he was a fine upstanding citizen but do we need to joke about it? What did it add to the discourse?

Apparently I’m not the only one as it was changed...

awww.  show me where the comment hurt you.

Exactly this. Ford had to lobby the NHTSA to get to use aerodynamic headlights on the first Taurus vs the government mandated sealed beam and yet Tesla throws new (and obviously unproven) technology at their cars without any government oversight at all. Why do we allow this?

This isn’t an invitation to the “fuck…

Sigh. This is what I get for watching a season 1 netflix show... inevitable hurt and anguish.

I never watched the original anime so I had no frame of reference and for me it was a fun show to watch.

Whelp - no time like the present to watch the anime version...

Getting really sick of this scam. I bought the car with the options I want. That should be the end of the fucken transaction. What next? Per minute radio fees?

Someone died and others were injured you thought you’d make a joke about it? Poor choice.

Redline one out in all the gears and you’ll get it. This engine / transmission combination is amazing.

I’m glad the NYT et al are finally taking Tesla out behind the wood shed for their bullshit.  Why are they allowed to play by different rules and get away with shit that legacy manufacturers aren’t? 

Why the fuck indeed.  Charge him with vehicular manslaughter. 

Fellow Bostonian and when my S60 Subscription is up I’m going to consider looking at the 2.  Range anxiety is my biggest fear... Glad to hear you are enjoying the car.
