DAMMIT, RICH PEOPLE. Buy the cars I want so that I can buy them from you when depreciation quarters their value! All joking aside though, BMW’s rationale does make sense, so I guess it’s hard to fault them there.

Off-road guys: How much would it cost to build a similar-performing rig with similar equipment (large brakes, science’d out suspension, 400-something horsepower V8, portal axles, etc.) out of a similar-sized vehicle like a Wrangler or a 4Runner or a Discovery?? I’m genuinely curious.

All the people saying that $105,000 is too expensive...

This is not accurate.

I think that may just be your battery. I’ve got an iPhone 5 that’s three and a half years old now, and I only have two battery issues:

Cool! Now let’s see a Levorg for the US market, a BRZ Sport for the US market, and a WRX S4 SporVita for the US market! There will literally be zero development cost associated with the latter two, and the first would fill the WRX wagon void that has been left with this newest generation.

One of the main reasons I got a watch was so that I looked at my phone less - now I can tell them time just by looking at my wrist. No buttons, no other functionality... just hours, minutes, seconds, day of week, day of month. Done.

The Montana car is my current desktop background for my four screens... the North Carolina car might have just changed that...

All right... let’s call a spade a spade. We got that concept for the WRX, and then got THIS WRX. We didn’t do too badly for ourselves.

I hope that their remaining kids ace all their high school classes, get accepted to top-tier colleges with full-rides, major in biology or biochemistry, pay their way through medical school, and go on to become successful allergy/immunology researchers specializing in vaccinations. Because fuck these people; they…

Getting rid of the headphone jack?! NO!!!!

That alone is a non-starter for moving to any of these places... sorry :/

The six-speed swap was the only reason I clicked NP. Good to know it’s possible. And if the engine does grenade... M120's are cheap ;)

I’m sure this will be another ‘masterful debate’ session for the three front-runners...

Are you sure?? The configurator disagrees. For the love of all that’s good and holy, I hope you’re wrong...

These things are/were surprisingly common here in LA. I’ve seen at least five different ones just driving around, both hardtops and convertibles... Always a treat to see them though; they’re SO pretty!!!

“And BMW: I’d like you to understand that Nissan, the car company that gave us the Sunny and the Murano CrossCabriolet, managed to make cars with bulletproof timing chains since the 1980s and your high-end, precision-built, new-millennium, German-engineered engine can’t make it to six figure mileage without spitting…

Oh, what’s that? You need to go off-road?
