Honestly, I’ll take a CVT in car whose design doesn’t make me want to gouge my eyes out than a manual in... in... this.

And this didn’t get a COTD?

plug compatibility that’s far more confusing than it should be, (...) and having to decide which charging network you should belong to.

Actually it’s 9, but life expectancy is just a number.

Ironically, the biggest film he’s had this decade is the one film that’s both an ensemble piece, a superhero movie, and arguably one where he wasn’t tasked with carrying the film, and that’s Suicide Squad

Oh, so I have 12 months left. Thanks.

Curiously, despite their power difference, both cars can do zero to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, Porsche claims.

Given what it looks like, I think we all could have waited.

the first four-door BMW sedan in the U.S. positioned to slot under the 3 Series (if you don’t count the i3, and I don’t)

Our neighbors’ 18 - despite not being a diesel - managed well over 300,000km. It was passed onto a grandkid on the grandad’s death.

They both had forward longitudinal engines, but I think (hope :-)) it’s the only common point. But you are quite right, it was the 12's and 16's successor, IIRC.

Exactly. I forgot to mention the seats, they were really comfy!

Indeed! Only slightly less than my 600cc Fazer! :-)

The 18 wasn’t a boring car at all. It was the best-selling sedan for years, and quite the nice car.

I’d have left at the “smile more” bit, and I’m a guy.

In the face of slowing sales and economic unrest, this seems like an extremely ambitious plan.

The rear is a design fail. It looks like a huge wall of car with nothing to lighten up the design. When you look at the concept, it was so much better - and it’s not like lights are a make-or-break item, you can keep the final ones a bit closer to the concept’s. (Let’s not even get into the suicide doors bit.)

Multiple times this. The “they had it coming” school of sentencing.

Probably ran them over with wheels of cheese.

You asked for one advantage, I gave you one.
