I really like the renegade trailhawk. It’s like a much less reliable Subaru Forester, that looks much better and has some power.

The Prius Four Touring was the worst vehicle I have ever been in that was not a Nissan .

Drove nice though.

As I have voiced before, the CVPI is a pretty lacklustre choice as a personal vehicle. People who buy them and keep the push bar and lights on either want to be cops, can’t be cops, or both.

Yellow paint on any non-taxi car is stupid and I hate it.

F-250 diesel 4x4s are cool and I want to DD one to work.

Anyone that said the Chevy SS was not worth buying new is a fool who actually doesn’t know dick about cars.

Miatas are street legal go carts and should be larger.

BMWs are not worth the money, unless it’s a B7 Alpina.

I love post-2008   Cadillacs.

Twingos are horrible things.

I want this. Yes I know it’s an old platform, yes I know it’s a Chyrsler, yes I know for that price the interiors are still not “luxury” but Damn do I want that Gangsta-style American classic 5.7Hemi RWD with those comfortable seats, those wheels and the space inside. Plus heated and ventilated seats and heated steering wheel fuck yeah!

This one’s new but you can find a 2 year old one S or C for under $30K, less than 30k miles

Also , any 6.4Hemi version of the Charger (Scatpack/SRT/Daytona) instead of this.

I offer two other options:

- Want a RWD V8 sedan that doesn’t cost German money. The Charger and 300C have existed for long enough that these people now have options... ‘course, the Charger is a cop car too.

I don’t care about muscle, pony, sports cars at all, except to the degree they overlap with roadsters.

Give me an open air driving experience that can hug a hilly curve, and I’m happy. If it can’t exceed 70mph, I’m almost certainly fine with that.

Although the ZDX shares a similar profile with the Honda Crosstour , [3] the two vehicles are not mechanically related:

The Crosstour is the right shape, and the ZDX isn’t. Somehow the ZDX doesn’t do it for me and the Crosstour does.

While I accept that answer, you can control the rate of the front wheels with the brakes as well, and I usually don’t like the extra sense of a little gnome pulling and tugging on the front wheels that AWD often means.

The 11th gen F-150 (excluding the ‘97/’98) is one of my favorite vehicles ever and IMO one of the best looking trucks Ford has made. My list of realistic dream vehicles contains a substantial amount of trucks from this era; The Lightning, the Harley Edition in both Super Cab (supercharged) and Super Crew, the Lincoln Blackwood, an FX4 in dark blue, King Ranch, in Super Cab and Super Crew, and a cus tom build with a Super Crew body and a 6.5' bed (not offered factory), likely built as the dark blue FX4 mentioned earlier. I also want to build one as a pre-runner build.

The Ber ett a Z26 is a cool car.

Somehow the Crosstour comes across like this from behind :

...and the ZDX doesn’t. Just a few too many accent lines, the dips over the fenders, the light positions, and the illusion is shattered. Couple that with a really bad and angular execution of the Acura Beak up front , and it’s just not there.

True, but I actually prefer how the AWD versions feel (as an example, my mom and stepdad both have G37’s, one AWD and one RWD. I liked the AWD version better for myself, but not everyone will feel that way.)

Regarding if I’m in control of my life, however...

The 300 is one of the best, most under - appreciated values out there. Very well equipped, spacious, comfortable, reasonably fuel efficient, and classically good looking at a crazily affordable price. When I was Challenger shopping in 2016, every dealer I looked at had a good selection of new 300 leftovers sitting around priced in the low 20s, I can’t imagine the situation is any better with the 2018s. Even with the Pentastar V6 (which is a pretty good engine itself), its a damn good value.

The interior is actually quite nice for the price range, when you realize that it is really a $28,995 car that comes with a bunch of pricier options. And when you realize that it is fundamentally a 2011 MY car that’s just still around for 2019.

Oh boy, many,

I think the pinnacle of Jeep engineering is the WJ Grand Cherokee, the best Miata is the NB, E36s are stupid, I actually enjoy driving my R170, the JL is superior to all Wranglers before it, 5 cylinder engines are fun but stupid, Pickup trucks have been obsolete since the first gen Ford Transit, my favorite BMW is the M 140i, Kia Stinger fanatics are as fucking annoying and irrational as VW fanatics or BMW fanatics, I prefer higher profile tires and all seasons rather than summers with low profile, I think Harleys are stupid, Sportbikes in the street are pointless, and I’m eager to see the new supra.

But my biggest confession is that, despite loving cars, I think cars are the most annoying, pointless devices in cities and deep down  I’m hopeful that taxes take them away from me and other citizens.

The shittier the car, the more I like it. Like the worse that every metric becomes, the more interesting the car is to me. Not even in a “slow car fast” kind of way. Just in that terribleness is endearing to me. Like the Nissan Versa ive rented a few times. There is nothing redeeming about it in any way, but I still enjoyed driving it.

2. M140i Yes! Think you’ll like this video

3. Wait, there are Kia Stinger Fanatics? I mean it’s a good car but not good enough to warrant rampant fanboyism IMO .Ugh,BMW fanatics!  I know the infamous 335i fanbois on the BMW forums acted like it was the greatest sports sedan (not even the M3) in the history of the fucking world. Especially ones with the older N54 versions.

I bought mine specifically because it was cheap, 38k minus a 3000 discount iirc. I mean... I’m not trying to fool anyone, I crossed shoped the car with a Fusion Sport. T he equivalent 440i not only was too flashy for me, it’s also something like 7,000 dollars more expensive than the kia MSRP. Yet Kia openly compares it to a Panamera!
