I mean, I'm pretty ok with that trend. Mildly lifted awd wagons are sexy in my humble opinion. Now if they just had a decent enough tow rating, I'd have a perfect vehicle to aim for.

The Buick TourX has that stupid-rear end gray plastic too and it drives me nuts. It's even more obtrusive on the Buick since they added stupid little plateaus of it to the tops of the wheel wells.

The extra ride height on the Allroad (at least for my A4-based one) isn’t really noticeable until you sit in the regular model. It’s also not really enough to give you SUV visibility... but that also means it doesn’t handle like a total boat. I’d rather have the regular Avant but apparently that’s a very niche opinion in North America.

Hey guys, just popping in to reiterate that carmakers are forced to make everything a "light truck" because of CAFE, in order to keep gm and ford in business, not because carbuyers have any opinions.

Is the Golf Sportwagen good? Top trim on the latest model has AWD, DSG and like 185 hp.

teenmomluvnlyf2004 posted:Dodge/Chrysler as well as the Lexus GS-F which is very expensive and rare. And Infiniti still makes the Q70 sedan with a 5.6L 420HP V8 in both RWD and AWD. I tried (not very hard) and failed (didn’t care) to find GSF sales numbers, but I can’t see numbers that small apparently. Modus Man posted:Hot drat I forgot about the GS-F, that is a beautiful looking car. The CTS-V is shitcanned, isn’t it? Well, I guess this answers why nobody wants naturally aspirated V8 rwd sedans any more.

The CTS-V is still being sold this year, so it counts, but yeah it’s done, no 2020. The new CT6-V has a V8 but it only comes in AWD. 3 row raptor? I’m in. Bring the hate. Also, bring the GT500 Motor.

Smells like filet Mignon and seats 3.5 e: guess who discovered that all the vehicles in ford's build and price are rendered from the same angle   This is far too much power for one man

I've slipped off my running board tons of times, but luckily it was in a truck with a second running board below that to skin the back of my ankle to remind me not to do that so much. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a29485294/volvo-xc40-recharge-ev-photos-info/  Volvo EV! 250 mile range, 408hp, 0-60 in 4.7 seconmds, and under 50 grand. There are some buttons, and even a knob, but the main focus is still piano black plastic around a touchscreen, bah humbug.

This is sweet. I drove the XC40 when I was looking at cars and it needed a bit more power. 408hp is more than I expected and much appreciated. Now I'm excited to see what Mazda has for their upcoming EV reveal. We need cool cheaper stuff like this vs 200k Porsche bullshit. Well, I guess we need both. But more on the side normal folks can afford. I am interested to see how much this cost over the regular XC40s. I can get an Inscription up to $48,820 without too many options.

Also interesting to see if that price is before or after the tax credits, because at 408hp for the electric, it might be dumb to get the gas version. big crush on Chad OMG posted:No mention of the Syclone, loving shameful Or the typhoon!
