Right now? Or ever? Cause the Supercharged engines in the old Nissan Xterras and Frontiers come to mind. Same with the S/C option in the Honda Element.

So...its a Mustang then?

Saw a couple while searching for a non-TDI Sportwagen for my wife earlier this month. Dealers didn’t seem to be budging much on price despite them having sat on lots for almost 2 years. There was a real dearth of regular Sportwagens out there so we ended up getting an Alltrak, simply because there were more to choose…

Buddy of mine had one that his parents gave him, and we took it on quite a few epic road trips in 89-90 (west virginia, norfolk, NYC, Boston, Chicago). With virtually no maintenance whatsoever! He eventually drove the damn thing to California.

I liked the swoopy design language of the previous gen models but I guess you can’t do the same thing forever. This one looks kinda more anonymous though.

Im referring more to the editorial tone, suggesting that GM is firing a shot across Teslas bow, as if there’s only room for one winner in this arena. Maybe its just poetic license or whatever, but I just don’t like the way it sounds.

I don’t think a vehicular arms race to see who can kill the most people with half-baked autonomous driving software for bragging rights is in anyones best interest.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS now I finally have something to send to my mom, who keeps posting these amateurish renderings to my Facebook wall, completely sure that the new Elky will be here any day now.

Bought a new car for my wife today! Suck it, pundits!

I enjoyed this. It kills me that these things are so cheap now, because I want to buy like 3 of them, but have no skills to do any kind of engine swaps or work on them.

Says in the article that the cars in the showroom are demonstrators and most of their sales are custom orders. If they rarely sell the showroom vehicles, it stands to reason they’d put dealer badges on them.

The whole bringing it back through the same border checkpoint the very next day smacks of a bribe-gone-wrong situation to me. Guy probably paid someone off and they decided to call in sick that day.

I had less than impressive results with their holders as well. The hyperbole is unwarranted, in my experience.

Sadly, I still (legally) own one. I never drive it. In my opinion, it is undrivable, even though it does technically start and move under its own power. But it was originally my grandmothers, and then my fathers, and then it was passed on to me, and I just dont have the heart to sell it. Also, no one wants to buy it.

A truly bad car. Ask me how I know.

Are people cross shopping this with the Golf Sportwagen Alltrack at all? I’ve been looking for a Golf SW for my wife to replace her super old-ass Kia Spectra5 (been a great car but its loooong overdue for an upgrade). Thing is, there are very few Golf SW’s but lotsa Alltracks for some reason.

Neat!

Yep! Probably more too. I dont really shop that segment much, mea culpa.

More like Siesta, amirite?
