If it's reliable, roomy and not too expensive it will sell well. Not everyone needs 0-60 in 4 seconds. Most people just view their cars in the same way that you or I sees their dishwasher.

Speaking as somebody who has been a card-carrying socialist at various points in my life, and who frequently sports a dreadful beard, you sound humorless.

Admittedly, TG was also better when we thought Clarkson was just playing the part of a douchewaffle for the show. When it turned out that he actually *is* a raging asshole who treats people like shit, it got a little less funny.

Lowering the budgets of the Grand Tour would make the show watchable again. Some of those specials just seemed like they asked Amazon for “all the money” and were left to create something expensive.

You know he’s only 61 years old, right? Although I would have sworn he was 75, like, two decades ago.

I took a Geography class in college. I can hear my professor telling me that cities aren’t going away. We might see a move from the urban to suburban areas, but not a move all the way to real rural areas (where you can find cheap homes).

House yes. But $85k bathroom would be nicer. And I’m spending more time on the crapper than in my car since I’m working from home.

The same people buying (or, more likely, leasing) a Yukon Denali or Escalade. 

And VW know it. Their internal marketing stuff given to dealers is comparing the ID.4 to things like the Rav4 and CR-V.

I’m getting old. I read “interior seems worth $85k” and I think that it should look like this

My wife just bought an Insight. We looked closely at the Civic sedan and the Insight is just better in every aspect other than driving dynamics, which wasn’t enough to overcome the other differences in her mind.

It’s fine that the Civic is big now. If you want a small, cheap Honda (like the Civics of yore), you can always just get a Fi...oh, right. 

Look, I’ll be the first to point out that for most of the last 20 years, it was usually a bad faith argument that the mining of the minerals necessary for EV batteries made them worse for the environment over the full vehicle lifespan than the average economy ICE.

As someone who sold Infinitis for quite a while, we all kinda knew this car was never going to happen. Infiniti couldn’t even be bothered to update its best selling SUVs, there was no chance they were going to come out with a high performance version of the slow selling coupe.

People want cheap produce. This is the cost.

The reality is you’re not sacrificing anything for daily driving, really. It’s not hard to get into or out if with kids, it’s actually easier to load stuff into, there’s plenty of room, and it looks better. Did everone really decide getting into and out of non-SUVs is hard? I’m genuinely asking.

I recently bought a 2017 Genesis G90 and not once has anybody I know or work with guessed correctly what brand it is. When I do explain what it is, only a handful have ever heard of Genesis. I personally like the anonymity and mystery of having a car that no one knows, but I’m sure I’m in the minority.

if you are just comparing awd and hp...then sure. but the STI and the stinger are very different cars all around. Buying an STI feels like you bought a impreza with a lot of go fast catalog parts put on by the dealer. The stinger feels like fairly luxurious sports sedan. I’ve spent a fair amount of time in both, aside…

Everyone knows what a Genesis is now thanks to Tiger Woods.

Because I love them.
