So the Titanic was on fire before even leaving port? How is that even possible? Wouldn’t the smoke, heat, and flames be obvious to the crew and passengers the minute they stepped on board?

That’s hilarious, watching CBS on a grainy 8 inch CRT...talk about luxury!

Dude is like a real-life Kenny Powers

What are those boomerang things people put on cars in the ‘80's and why were they considered fancy?

Hyundai’s poor performance means he will have toupee with his job.

Does anyone know what VW is planning to do with the turned-in cars? Doubtful that they will be crushed for scrap, I imagine VW has a deal to sell them to used parts dealers. If this is the case they would obviously want them intact.

This won’t happen as long as there is a need to operate a control without looking directly at it. Touch screens are difficult to use and dangerous in this application.

Wow, Tacoma has a much higher class of criminal than Phoenix. We have package thieves too but they are usually meth heads cruising around neighborhoods on clapped out BMX bikes; not attractive, well dressed suburban women in late model crossovers.

Kacey Musgrave’s howliday classics.

How about a wench winch?

The sad thing is that he actually believes this “thinkpiece” will make people want to be like him instead of just making him seem like an insufferable tech-douche-bro.

Excellent summary of the sad state of SUV affairs. I finally replaced my 21 year old Bronco this year with a Wrangler Unlimited. The Wrangler and 4Runner are the only 2 vehicles on the market that even come close to approximating the Bronco’s functionality. With the lack of off road capable vehicles on the market…

Fair point, but if you wanted a luxury car that trounces the Porsche in every conceivable measure an IS350 can be had for about $10k less. Again, people are paying for the badge and perceived prestige of owning a “Porsche.”

I can’t think of a shittier car than a grossly overpriced crossover that does nothing especially well.

The fact that I could buy both a Toyota Sienna AND a Toyota FRS for the price of a Macan would indeed suggest that people are willing to pay tens of thousands for a badge and image. A yuppie yoga mom image but an image none the less.

All I can say is I hope the Big J is your mechanic!

Brute forcing the code might not take that long depending on how long the code is. It looks like the device has a standard 10 number keypad; I was able to crack the 5 digit, 10 number code on my Grand Marquis door pad in about 45 minutes. Of course it could be that a code isn’t generated until after payment is made…

Aye matey , nothing like a few barnacles to hornswaggle the blasted lubbers and matches me ship’s wheel to boot!

Two less crossovers on the planet, about 500 million more to go!

How about this: crossovers are so overpriced that you could have a new crossover OR for the same price a minivan AND an additional set of wheels and snow tires, a mountain bike, a very large TV, a puppy, a Fender Stratocaster, a fabulous vacation to Hawaii, and last but not least the smug satisfaction of not having to…
