Thanks for the information. I can’t utilize the business deduction, but it still ends up being a good deal regardless. It’s not just about the buy price, but also the resale price and running costs in my overall equation.

If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you pay for it new?

My wife is already resigned to me buying her a MY16+ when it comes time to replace her car. Considering that we only drive a combined 9k miles a year between 2 cars, gas mileage isn’t as big of a deal. This article just sealed the deal.

I live in Seattle, and I have been on ones with doors.. just not in WA state. WSDOT boats are commuter boats, and the Puget sound is generally pretty calm. The design of an open deck is for loading/unloading speed. We’re talking sub 10 minute turnaround times.

Yes. It is excellent in the city.

though based on what he wrote in the review; this sounds like one of those cars those cars that you’ve talked about on the CR broadcast. Maybe an Avalon instead?

How do I add directional stabilizer fins to my car? They seem important.

Can ’t complain about my w212, even if it’s a bit over-styled. Heard they might not bring the next one over here to the us

What? I’m paying way more than 699 in cap hill.

Yes. Google it.

No apologies required. I understood what you meant.

Ahh. But you see, the no second hand smoke bullshit has been disproven. Fuck’em. http://www.popsci.com/ask-us-anythin…

The dumb thing is that CARB has publicly available specs for automakers to follow. All the other automakers followed them from the beginning. VW knows what specs it needs to meet, but hopes that it'll win a staring contest instead

If you read jeep garage, there are many threads about problems with these engines.

I was immediately bothered @ford USA after driving the wonderful current GEN Mondeo wagon. Can you imagine one of those things in a fusion sport TwinTurbo V6 config?

You don’t need that much power in stop-n-go

Next year, yes. Not right now.

How else are you going to justify maybach prices?

This car makes me sad because it reminds me that Toyota used to have some imagination and panache in some bygone era. (Hell, even up to the supra turbo/ previa s/c days in the 90s)
