I think VW should’ve offered this with an ICE option like Dodge has with the new Charger, or ideally a hybrid. But that entry price? Oooof. Sienna starts at $39k, Odyssey at $42k, Carnival at $38k, Pacifica at $42k. Nostalgia isn’t worth the 18-21k price gap imho. After the first buyers get their Buzz I’d expect to…

Youtubers get ‘em for yet another acceleration challenge

Some guy named Jason in Texas said he’s interested but asked if he can get 15-year terms?

Jason is a dope. Don’t be like Jason.

I’ve been riding on and off since 1987 and have heard every argument against wearing a helmet, and they’re all bullshit. One guy tried to tell me full-face helmets are no good because they’ll break your collarbone if you hit the road too hard. I’d be surprised if he made it to 30. 

Physics is just too hard for most people, I guess.

Uh, Mustang owners?

LOL. Yep. 

Similarly, shitting in your pants will make you less popular than not shitting in your pants. 

‘member way back when that we were always reading here about some exotic meeting its fiery death? Seems a long time ago.

Be sure to budget $3-4000 for a good aftermarket warranty for when the inevitable expensive bit goes clunk..

You’ve cracked the Trump Code. Bravo!

In this case the Turbo will just get you to the mechanic faster when something expensive goes clunk..

I could’ve had SO much fun with this if I’d been controlling that thing. Imagine making the robot flip people off or making the jerk off gesture when people asked stupid questions. A PR nightmare maybe, but it’d be a hoot to see Musk explain why his robot was such an asshole. 

Only two seats? Is this just to limit the fatalities of the early beta testers?

Now half-expecting MTG to say something righteously moronic like “Laser cruise control can be weaponized”

I suspect Overtrail really means Overpriced. No bash bar? Headlight protectors? Body lift? Million-candlepower off-road lights? I thought these were all critical options for the LX’s intended environment of mall parking lots? 

True story; sorry if it goes against your anti-VW narrative. I attribute this to having skipped over the problematic Mk4 cars.

I’m no BMW stan, but isn’t the idea of an electric M3 heresy? Call it something else maybe?

You give the overall design a pass? You’re a lot more forgiving than most.
