I randomly thought about the pussy shrapnel thread the other day and had a good chuckle. Also the Lambo SUV is mega stupid looking. It reminds me of the first-gen Cayenne where the designers pretty much just blew up a 911 to SUV size and called it a day

Maybe it's a leadership/transition issue

eyebeem posted:Haha what the hell is this? Yeah, that's generally what the last 15 years looks like. I don't want to break your heart, but 3 out of every 4 porches sold have at least 4 doors. Every audi either starts with or can be optioned up to the 3.0, the Continental GT is probably the only reason Bentley still exists. Up until today, every Lamborghini since 1989 has had at least 10 cylinders. edit: I changed my mind, i do want to break your heart, The Urus will be the best selling lamborghini of all time until they bring out another SUV based on the Macan.

You know this is absolutely true. If BMW can sell those 'sport coupe' SUV crossover things with a million horsepower a Lamborghini that doesn't inconvenience me on the way to the golf course is even better.

If those were still a thing there wouldn't be a Porsche SUV or Audi SUV If you went back to 2001 and explained the Porsche Cayenne to the people of that time, they would beat the poo poo out of you. You could say "People of 2001, i am from 2017 where Donald Trump is president and Porsche has 2 SUVs" and people would ask how bad the SUVs are.

The M-Class is cool because it basically ruined Mercedes-Benz's "bulletproof" reputation overnight. There were other factors of course (the late 90s wasn't a great time for Mercedes road cars) but it was the main one.

Tbqh if every SUV was as good to drive as the Macan GTS we’d love the niche.

Yeah the Urus isn't a terrible looking vehicle. In fact it's probably the best looking SUV.

BraveUlysses posted:it's a toss up between this abortion and the loving awful nissan armada and it's infiniti sibling for worst looking SUV of all time The Armada would be redeemed if Nissan would offer the cool off-road stuff they do with the Patrol overseas. And while you're more likely to see an Armada/QX80, it's not that much more likely because most people in that market buy the GM product.

Human Grand Prix posted:I've warmed up to the Mazda CX-3 and C-HR. If SUVs just evolve into slightly lifted hatchbacks I'll consider it a win. For most of the subcompact SUV market, that's pretty much what they are. There's just a divide between those that try to mimic the upright taller riding of bigger SUVs (i.e. Renegade) or try to pretend to be cars with just increased ride height (i.e. CX-3)

I have no idea what sighted people buy those things, and have to assume that they are sold with incentives so massive they somehow induce blindness. They're like an avatar of overcompensation in a way that eclipses even bro trucks.

That's the only way I can see someone buying that godawful SUV, or a Sentra, or literally any other Nissan except perhaps a 350/370Z or GT-R. And also gently caress Nissan for treating the GT-R like it's a piece of the true cross or something. If I can get inside a 911 Turbo one booth away at the car show, you can loving well unlock the GT-R.

Sentra (And Nissan in general) gives you almost-Japanese reliability for American levels of savings off sale price and ease of securing financing. Nissan makes sense when you think of it as the brand for people who can't/won't afford a Honda or Toyota but who don't want an American or Korean car.

Nissans are generally pretty bad aside from the 2 ancient sports cars it makes. The merger with Renault saved the company but in the process it lost it's soul.

Comfy and will swallow up anything. Wouldn’t ever own one though.

Wheeee posted:Sentra (And Nissan in general) gives you almost-Japanese reliability for American levels of savings off sale price and ease of securing financing. I drove a brand new one, albeit rental-spec'd, and if that's what it's like when it's new, the reliability doesn't matter a whit. It was the only car I've ever driven, or even been in, that's completely joyless on every single possible level. I've been in Ladas I liked better. The only car I hated so much as the Sentra was a Geely rental I was in one time in Cuba. And even it wasn't so bad, since it had a stick instead of an inherently unloveable CVT.

Nissans seem to be the sub-prime lending vehicle of choice these days, which fits with their (lack of) good design or excitement. I don't think they make a single vehicle for normal people that is competitive in its class. Hyundai and Kia seem to be making better and more exciting cars than Nissan these days. It's sad but their entire lineup just reeks of
