Nah man they are both hideous. 

I’m only 43 and remember the “Pump” album with the two trucks humping, very well.  Folks my age still have a lot of living to do, at least I hope. 

This thing looks perfect. Are we sure it’s gonna be called the 400Z? I think going back to 300Z would be fine. Actually there never was a 300Z, just ZX, so 300Z would differentiate it and stick with the engine displacement. Of course they could just call it the Fairlady everywhere. Surely men are manly enough now to…

It’s absurd that any old rich geezer can buy one of these behemoths and just head off down the highway with no special license or certificate.

I think maybe don’t give it a name at all.  Wasn’t the original Wrangler just called the “YJ” in Canada?  Why not just use current chassis codes or come up with some new alpha-numeric thing like the original CJ series. 

Then what the heck is the point of an awd car by your logic? I just bought an awd van, guess I’m an idiot.

Holey cow you are harsh man.  That rogue will be plodding along long after your german and italian rigs have gone to the junkyard.  All the things you mentioned are subjective bs that don’t matter to most folks.  Every newer Nissan product I’ve driven recently has been just fine. 

Exactly, if a car can actually reach the freeway speed limit, it’s not dangerously slow.  I just think some folks have never driven a truly anemic car.  For me it was my dad’s vw diesel rabbit pickup.  Sometimes the 0-60 time was infinite. 

Nissan Mexico has done this forever. Like remember the Tsuru? 1990-2017. They built the D21 from 1993-2008 down there also.

CVT haters are all irrational.  If you don’t shift it yourself, who cares?  I love that my new sienna doesn’t have any fake shift points.  Wish all cvts were like that.  Bogus that they had to alter them to appease journalists.  Let the technology take care of it and do what is most efficient.  Right pedal goes, left…

I always derided american “luxury” cars until I rode in a 90's buick once.  I was like “ok I get it now.”  They are like riding down the freeway on a sofa, which honestly is not a bad thing. 

Yeah don’t the injectors fail pretty regularly on these things?

When it comes to icebreakers, the Healy is pretty weak sauce. A good ship for some arctic exploration, but it really can’t handle the big stuff. The Polar Star and Polar Sea could, but they are ancient and I think both laid up. Fortunately we will finally be building some new icebreakers and playing catch-up with…

I still find it hard to believe that Tesla uses small cylindrical batteries tack welded together just like any battery pack. Seems like there’s got to be a better way.

Surely somebody has posted this already but her goes, from Dictionary.com:¹

That’s pretty bloody subjective man. 

But that grille on all the lexi though.  Bletch.  No thanks.

I will agree with you that the naming change was very stupid.  Almost as bad ad getting rid of Datsun.  Too late to go back now I guess.  Nobody knows what infiniti is what anymore.  Well I don’t anyhow. 

CVT hate is stupid. Most folks don’t care.  Seriously you think a regular slushbox is so much better?  I think not.

If you aren’t shifting yourself, who gives a shit.  Seriously you guys harp on CVT’s so goddam much.  It’s absurd.  It’s a good technology and quite mature now, even with the silly fake shift points included to appease folks who might be offended.
