Carmax said they’d buy my SportWagen for about $1000 more than I paid for it. I’m not doing it, though.

I don’t think the US is getting the Yaris Cross:

Neutral: I bought my Tornado Red 2018 SportWagen, his name is Klaus, new off the lot in April of 2019. So far I am happy with it. It gets good mileage and meets my needs. 

It should never leave.

I wonder if are looking at the markets where they sell their non-AWD SUVS and CUVS and only plan to push stock of the FWD Ranger in those areas.

I’d go with Goober.

Now, you either love Tesla and all the connotations it comes with, or you’re suspicious of what it’s peddling

There’s only 5 in that picture sold in the US. You could likely do a similar graphic with any other global manufacturer and the vehicles they make for different markets. At one point, it would have been a sea of similar looking sedans.

A local coffee ‘chain’ opened a branch near where I work. They have 5 shops in the general area.

If it was a GM product, you got 4 versions of the same sedan in each segment.  

The ID.4 sticks out because it’s doesn’t share any of the styling cues across the rest of the VW line.

I remember the “climate controls” aka heat of my old ‘89 Plymouth Horizon were to the left of the steering wheel. Which was nice, the passenger couldn’t mess with the heat when I was driving. 

I’d be okay with a compromise that if you’re not vaccinated, you can pay for both a rapid test and a brain-tickler test every day in addition to wearing a mask and face shield.

“My sweater is looks so smooth and snug because I’m not wearing a shirt underneath, it’s actually a dickey. And if you like that one...”

Crux Fermentation Project’s NØ MØ Non-Alc IPA is fruity and bitter in all the right ways.

I know the thought behind many EVs and Hybrids is to stand out and be noticeably different than their ICE only counterparts, but I wish the ID4 shared more of the Tiguan and Atlas styling cues. 

FBOY Island - that heterosexual nonsense doesn’t interest me.

The fact I’ll never have a car that talks to me in either Majel Barrett’s or William Daniel’s voice makes all auditory alerts bullshit.

I think this kind of configuration looks good for a commercial vehicle, like a taxi or shuttle. 

The monotony of the market has been happening for a few decades now, the crossover craze is just the latest example. Before it, it was sedans in favor of coupes and wagons/hatchbacks.
