Wifes got an 2016 Edge Sport with the 2.7 TT. No issues with valves here. It’s at 45K Miles currently. Read more

Good explanation. I’d love to test drive all of them but nowadays it’s impossible to find something to test drive. I think my local Porsche dealer only has 10 new cars on the lot, and I’m not in a small market. Read more
Haptic touch buttons are an industry-wide fuck-up of epic proportions that I hope goes away very soon. Did NOBODY see the unmitigated failure of Cadillac’s CUE system? Read more
Does VW know that their little baby Golf has been roiding out in Stuttgart? Read more
As of last week, with Tesla stock plummeting, Musk seems to be backpeddling. Read more
