Big, luxurious, ok on gas? A V6 7-Series is your friend. This 2018 at Carmax is $5k under budget, only has 30k miles and comes with a warranty. Plus, it already hit its depreciation curve. Maybe not the biggest head turner but it’s definitely ritzy enough and the light silver paint is a break from all the boring…
Counterpoint. The style and purpose of the Porsche 911 has remained consistent because it works. This is not unlike the evolutionary aspect of a shark that has simply refined over the millennia because it’s function and purpose work without overall change. While the Mercedes evolution has been hit or miss for its…
My family owed a 1973 450 SE in the mid-80's. My dad, a school teacher, had wanted nothing more than to own a Mercedes. Unfortunately he had to settle for a car my mom eventually dubbed “Hitler’s Revenge”. I dare say the repair bills from the 2 years we owned that car caused my dad to retire a full decade later than…
These aren’t selling very well at all. They’ve quickly become the Premium Full-Size SUV rental car special, sat in the airport parking lot next to the geriatric Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX80 twins.
Is now a good time to discuss how butt-ugly these things are? All of the yuppie parents in my town are buying them so I always see them sitting in the carpool line at school. It is hard to believe this car can look so bad and poorly designed when the new Grand Cherokee looks so good.
We need to start thinking about EVs as just cars. Just like ICE cars, there will be cool cars, ugly cars, big cars, small cars, cheap cars, expensive cars, and in the case of the Fratzonic sound, douchey cars too. So really this is just business as usual at Dodge.
Being a nuisance to everyone around you is one of the core pillars of the Dodge ownership experience though!
The Quattro concept baffles me how it didnt make production.
There are plenty...
People have this weird mindset where everyone making more than some number X are “rich” and no longer care about money.

100% untrue. I’m in the demographic who would buy one of those cars and the presence or absence of a $7,500 credit would be important enough for me to be determinative of whether I pulled the trigger or not.
Fantastic pick! There aren’t many needs that aren’t met by this beautiful piece of engineering.
It might not be the fanciest, nor the fastest, or most expensive, but growing up in the UK - this generation of Golf GTI seemed to have a great reputation for just being a great all-round car.
When I think of the “best cars” of the ‘80s, I see the posters on the walls of my childhood bedroom. Now that I’m a middle-aged man, I concede that most of them weren’t very good cars. I think it’s important for the best car to at least be a good car.
A local dealer has a loaded Platinum on the lot and they’re asking $153,874, a nice even $60K over sticker. 2022 New Ford F-150 Lightning For Sale | Delaware OH | Stock: F220209 (byersford.com)
A $100k F150. What a time to be alive.
CP. With the exception of the Mercedes SL, this is probably one of the worst examples of awful 1980s US-spec safety standards ruining cars. Those giant black bumpers, orange reflectors and raised ride height just make a fun little Italian roadster look hideous.
We just traded our 2021 Macan S for a new Taycan and made a little profit after driving around for a year because of the chip shortage. Even though we only had it a year, the Macan was dollar for dollar one of the most pleasant cars I’ve ever had. Fast, comfortable, luxurious with the right options. That said, it…
In an odd way, it’s almost fitting. We’ll now have 3 distinct eras of VW, the Air-cooled era, water cooled era and the upcoming EV era. The Type 1 was the constant from the beginning to the end of the air cooled era, the Golf, which replaced the type 1, ran the full duration of the water cooled era.
