Coming soon... angry eyes Recon

hmm, that recon looks like it’s meant to be an XJ cherokee successor.
I can’t wait for [RUSTY JEEP ENTHUSIAST] to buy a completely flogged one in 20 years time and document his masochistic endeavours with it on [CAR WEBSITE]

If they couldn’t afford them, they would be repossessed pretty darn quickly. Here, let me wipe that salt from your eyes.

I see the we-hate-high-car-payments-because-we-can’t-afford-them brigade are out in full force again. Some people just have a higher disposable income and choose to allocate a proportion of their salary to cars. It doesn’t make them bad at math. My husband and I are a cliche DINK couple - both have professional jobs, n…

“I still have not seen one meaningful idea how this issue gets tackled.”

Porsche is not going the way of Jaguar in any capacity. They have one of the largest, most loyal customer bases in the world. There’s no way they will be allowed to stagnate - and they’re not, they are already building some of the most popular luxury EVs on the planet.

Porsche is very well positioned as a company for its IPO. They have fully embraced the reality of an electric future while keeping the character of their brand. The Taycan already outsells the 911, and once their most popular and affordable vehicle - the Macan - goes fully EV next year the pendulum will eventually swin…

100% on your 4th gear comment. We are 4 months and 5,000 miles into first EV ownership, have spent $40 total charging it (because we stick to our free Electrify America subscription or the free charger at the gym) and we don’t have a charger at home. If I see a charger at a restaurant or movie theater, I just top it…

1st Gear: Of course nothing is going to stop Porsche’s IPO. Do you think the Porsche/Piech family is going to pass up on a massive cash grab without giving up any control? They’re not going to cash out like Fiat’s Agnelli family until they’re genuinely tired of that shit. And the Piech family is likely too power-mad…

Beyond Zero

If anything, Texas, with its power grid vulnerable to extreme weather, is closer to “third-world” than California. Of course, they’re both still pretty far from actually being third-world. Third world means you get electricity for two hours a day and cook over a non-electric heat source.

Isn’t the estimate that, on its own, California would be the 5th wealthiest country in the world? Pretty far from the third world status. It’s a modern state with modern problems.

Obviously this is US-specific, as there are plenty of wagons alive and well in the rest of the world...

As the largest new car market in the country, California’s decision will directly affect all 49 other states. The Virginia gov can make any rules they like for VA but they are deluded if they think auto manufacturers are going to cater their products for an individual state, and not the biggest, wealthiest market in…

This slide show is like a ‘whose who’ list of normal states, with normal policies, and stable non-reactionary governance, that I wouldn’t be terrified to visit.

I suppose I’m one of the lucky ones, as I’ve just passed 111k mi on my ‘14 LR4 and I’ve never once had the check engine light come on, nor have I ever been left stranded. The only two things other than regular maintenance that I’ve had happen are 1) the coolant leak/water pump issue that’s common to the 3.0 SCV6 2)…

Although cows are frequently blamed, it’s actually Fox News personalities that are the single greatest source of methane pollution.

Is it possible that your butler is bringing your range rover to the mechanic while you’re vacationing out of the country?

We’re on our 4th Range Rover and have had no problems. I’m not sure what your personal history with the Land Rover brand is, but normally I find opinions like yours are from people that have never actually owned one. No, they are not indestructible (like a Toyota Land Cruiser) but if looked after with normal…
