But it doesn’t come with mirrors.

Always loved those seats, but i think lotus wins for “that should look awful, but secretly i like it. A lot.”

Their reason to exist is that people pay lots of money for them.

This was broadly said in the comments, but to summarize:

Now do it again with the bed loaded to max payload.

I like what I’m seeing, except for that C pillar treatement. That seems lifted right off the new Accord... they stayed close to the Escala design, why did they change that piece?

Nice car.  He fucking ruined it.  

I’ll take a drab Buick over whatever the hell Acura and Lexus have been up to

If he spent more than $10k on this, I would say the money would have been better invested in hookers and blow. But since he only has $1,500 invested, I would say that’s money and father/daughter time well spent.

Sooooo... how much nuclear material is going to be crashing down?

In Soviet Russia, Venus probe you!

Or we could work harder on educating pedestrians to not walk out into the road without looking, keep a closer eye on their kids, and have cyclists and bikers keep to the fucking edge of the road.

We have to remark on the fact that the wheels are absolutely minty fresh bordering on showroom. I cant remember the last time I saw an Acura that didn’t have 360 degrees of curb rash on all 4 mags. Those things are GLORIOUS.

(As an aside, these wheels are from a more humble era of 15s when 16s were big and 17s…

Rubbers are important, on your wheels and your wiener.

I know this gets thrown around a lot, but this meets most of his criteria. I would deem this the American designer car, especially for the Midwest

Buick. TourX. Seriously, why is that not the comparison? Lower weight, higher HP, lovely exterior, good enough interior, and can be had for 25k. Wagonheads, unite!

I love Amazon reviews ...

When my oil arrived there was a big scratch on the label. 1/5 stars. I have no thoughts on the quality of the oil itself.

Literally nobody cares. The entire reason why there will be no Outback Sport is because enthusiasts are more into enumerating the shit they think they want than actually buying it. I’m happy that, for once, car makers seem to fully understand this dynamic, and have begun to ignore enthusiasts.
