Nope, just stock Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser, G-wagon, Armada, Tacoma, Colorado, F150...need I go on? Seriously, look up the reviews, talk to some people who are into off-roading...or not, alternative facts are in these days so believe what you want!

Lets see...first hand experience encountering those vehicles on the trial, professional reviews, off-road message boards, what other sources do I need? There is a reason no one buys LRs or VWs for overlanding and it ain’t cost. No sour grapes here, just reality. Sounds like you might be upset that your wife made…

Ok now I know you are full of it. Most every vehicle LR sells, espcially the Range Rover, have about as much off road capability as the average Subaru, many much less. Even the LR4, the most off-road oriented model in the lineup, can barely hang with a Grand Cherokee, much less a Wrangler, 4Runner, or any number of…

Both crossovers. “Best in a class” is marketing speak, like being the tallest midget. Neither the Q7 or any current Land Rover offered in the US will hold up to serious towing or off-roading; they are designed and built to take upper-middle class cool moms to the yoga studio, Whole Foods, and through a few inches of…

SUV = heavy-duty wagon designed for off-road, towing, carrying heavy loads etc.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug...some Wall St or Silicon Valley guy will buy this without blinking, is identical to his first car, felt up his high school sweetheart for the first time, drove to killer frat parties, etc.

Good points, I’ll add that having crashed my fair share of bikes at highish speeds the recovery is never quick. Even assuming zero broken bones it would be unlikely that a person could instantly jump up and run away at top speed. The captor would likely stop the car and recapture the jumper before that person could…

Soon crossovers and pickups will be the only 2 vehicle options left. Embrace the suck.

I’ve wondered about this too, you’d think Japan would at least issue a stern warning that the next missile launched over their territory will be intercepted. My guess is that the system is not 100% accurate and is as likely as not to result in an embarrassing miss.

Oh boy. That guy’s wife is sure going to be angry when she figures out that he took her “SUV” to the track!

Stancers, I’ve never met a group that is more serious about methodically screwing up their cars. They are a touchy bunch too, any criticism is met with a “you’re lucky my bros are holding me back or I’d kick your ass” type of threat.

Is it really that ugly? Yeah it is a little hipster-tech douchey but not terribly so. I think it is much better looking than say a Nissan leaf and way less lame than many egg-shaped crossovers.

That’s surprisingly cheap, $13k is only about $54k in today’s dollars, I think the Escalade is the most expensive (non V) Cadillac today and it starts close to $80k.

Porsche Macan, purchased by insufferable “upwardly mobile” strivers who have zero appreciation of cars and even less taste. I can’t think of a vehicle that is more of a cynical, cash-grabbing affectation.

I think it is Ridgeline drivers who give the Ridgeline a bad name. They are nearly always upper middle-class, middle-aged, socially awkward, slightly aloof, men, usually engineers, who wear hiking shoes, cargo shorts, and those floppy hiking hats everywhere they go. They love to brag about how they’ve done a…

How about the “My soul-crushing commute is slowly killing my desire to live” highway? -A former resident of Northern Virginia.

Yeah, it would matter to me. I would sell my Jeep if FCA were acquired by the Chinese. I work in information security and have a very clear picture of the constant theft and chaos sown by state-sponsored Chinese hackers. The Chinese would like nothing more than to see the US slide further into weakness and…

Saudi Arabia? Yeah they are a medeveil bunch but also a very small player and are not actively trying to undermine, steal from, and weaken the US. They know where their bread is buttered. Plus, we only import a small fraction of our oil from the Saudis these days.

Resistance is definitely not futile, Americans are finally realizing that the collective wealth if the middle class built over 100 years was siphoned off to China one $89 DVD player at a time. Look at the heat Ford took recently for moving production of a single car to Mexico...FCA being bought by the Chinese would…
