You forgot to mention it has 4 wheels.

Wake me up when this all ends.

If those Mazda5's were available with the manual I might have been one of those dummies that bought one. I drove one years ago and really liked the sliding doors, small size and decent handling. My bet is the crash rating isn’t any worse than the Mazda3 it’s based off of.

I have to admit that these three still have a lot to give, and I love the fact that Amazon has gone away from the Top Gear 2 format they had early on in The Grand Tour.

The “Little Mule” Bronco from Romancing the Stone.

This EV won’t work for me because the commute to my job is 20 miles each way and once I get there they don’t give me enough money to buy this car.

it’s not. there doesn’t appear to be any interesting commentary. it’s just a list.

1st Gear:

The Escape is profitable and sells well, so it’s not going anywhere.

Funny - you missed the point completely. 

An (almost) positive article on those 3 appearing on Jalopnik?
Will wonders (almost) never cease?!?

Say what you want about their schtick (it can get a bit grating) but the Top Gear Mongolia special is amongst the best automotive TV in years.

I’d like to know if the CR-V is the most vanilla car available today, and if it isn’t, which vehicle is?

What would make someone want to do this, I wonder? Just a powerful, fuck it, I’ve always wanted to try it urge? Maybe they really, really had to pee? A grim and steadfast refusal to let some stupid bridge tell you what to do? Just being from Florida?

BMW X5M Competition. Ticks every box.

I actually saw a couple driving around Palos Verdes, CA the weekend Tiger crashed his. Same color, but I don’t recall seeing the big Genesis graphic on the doors so probably not him. The only other one I’ve seen was in my neighborhood, but that car had an M-plate and I believe it’s owner works at Hyundai down in…

I mean the comments aren’t wrong. 

While a lot of Grand Tour has been bloated I really think that the Mongolia episode (in which they assembled “John” and drove it across the steppe to a town called Moron) was on par with their best TG efforts like Viet Nam.  It had enough bloviating and cocking about to assure you knew it was them but at its heart was…

Insurance fraud does exist, of course, but this is so transparently not insurance fraud you should have kept your keyboard shut and your fool thoughts to yourself.
