Yea but places like Pechanga, Morongo and Yaamava can get boring sometimes. Read more

It’s also the cheapest car on the list as far as starting price. None of that is saying much though because the Mini is only $1,800 more expensive. These largely just seem to be models that buyers don’t want. Read more

No it runs. If you watch the video, him and his wife ride up on it in slow motion. It’s cringe.  Read more

Wouldn’t work. He said he has a commute of 110-120 miles. And most EV lease deals right now are for ultra low mileage leases. His best bet is to get a used one.  Read more

Yea you obviously have never driven an Elantra N. There are Type R owners who have traded theirs in for one. It’s that serious. Read more

No no. The Kia Connect app uses the EV9s cameras to take 360 snapshots so that you can see what’s going on around the vehicle when you use the app.  Read more

Oh no this isn’t unibody. This is a TRUCK. It’s body on frame. Read more

They’re saying that until the state law has language in it that specifically says they can’t enforce the pickup rule (even though it already does), they’re going to continue to enforce it. They’re being stubborn and petty.  Read more

It’s unexpected because Mazda essentially developed the hybrid tech for the CX-90 in house. We didn’t think they’d go with a partnership for the tech on another model.  Read more

It’s because in any other instance where this happens, the customer is given both their down payment and their trade in back. They sold his trade and pocketed the money when they should have given him the money they made off selling the trade. Read more

Oh of course. I was laughing as I was writing it. None of this behavior is normal or ok. Read more

Cruising I think averaged about 17 mpg? Of course getting into it drops down to 13-14 mpg. Read more

Blame the venue. These things are parked crammed onto the third floor of a parking garage that’s not very big (It’s about 350 feet long and just over 200 feet wide.) It’s awkward to get photos of the rear and impossible to get side profile pics. If you’re a real wagon fan though you can appreciate them no matter what. Read more

There were 3. They weren’t that good though. One was a stock R/T that had to leave because it was leaking some fluid. The other two were SRT-8s that had a lil too much going on. Read more

Now that you mention it, I just realized that there wasn’t a single BMW wagon there. I was there four hours and didn’t see a single one leave or arrive. Read more

Image rights. We’re not not about to use images that someone else paid for without their permission.  Read more

They’re not entirely clear on that but I’d assume that you’d be able to come and go as you please. Read more

Yea that was referring to the Super Cruise. If it holds up like other Cadillac models, it’ll be free for the first 3 years, and the $25 a month after that to keep it active. Read more
