I just want a Ute that isn't the size of a house and costs 60k. I hope they bring the Maverick out here.

I want a hybrid SUV where the spare tire is outside, but I get that the usual space underneath is now where the battery is located.

In short, I wish the RAV4 goes back to the spare being on the rear gate.

My folks just got the new hybrid rav4 and it's a wonderfully comfortable interior and smooth to drive.

I’m not sure what the 4x4 runs, but I average 22-23mpg mixed driving in my 4door 2wd Taco.

I really wish they had a hybrid tho.

Looks like it's between 17-20mpg, which ironically is what I get with my Legacy :smith:

I had high hopes they'd do it for 2023 after introducing one in the Tundra and Sequoia, but apparently not. I love the Maverick, but not the towing capacity of the hybrid, and if I'm going to spend 50k on a Sequoia, I might as well start looking at the Lightning.

Huuuuge opportunity and it has my stomach in knots. I don’t know anything about Copenhagen either.

I'm envious and I hope you get to do this! I have a friend who moved from the US to Scotland a few years ago, I can ask her what all went into relocating her cat there.

I'm going to see if I can get my company to let me work from our Amsterdam office for at least a year, starting next fall.

It's an AWD daily driver that technically gets better mileage than the 2006 Accord I was in for 3 years ignoring the difference between premium and 87, so when you think about it, it's actually practical.

Oh what's that, have I taken any pictures? As a matter of fact, yes!




My previous cars history were Escort, Accord, Accord, Accord, so it's weird to be going 70 and still be able to rapidly accelerate.

How the hell do you kill a Subaru? They're rock solid until their head gaskets kill themselves at 100k.

I just put $71 in my Legacy for the first time ever today. Doing short in-town driving all the time doesn't help and the next car absolutely will be a hybrid. Just don't want anything as big as a full size pick-up.

Current Subarus aren't the same as old Subarus. After they finally had to kill the EJ engines because they couldn't figure out how to get it to meet emissions anymore they became a lot more prone to issues (as you referenced with the head gaskets).

The running joke is that Subaru is transitioning late to EVs because they haven't figured out how to get the head gaskets to fail yet.

For real. The adjusted cost of the F150 hybrid has gone up +$8000. Im not entirely sure if my plan is to keep it or simply sell it the moment I get the truck because I imagine someone will buy it.

Whats the range on the Pro?

230. Not the best but to go up a battery you have to go to the XLT and then add another $20,000, so basically another $30,000 for 70 miles more.

I mainly would use it for work travel (70 miles daily) so I can deal with 230 for that price.

My QAnon cousin shared an IG story from DC Draino about a Georgia school district giving its teachers firearms training, and I mentioned how cool it's gonna be when some nut goes after an armed teacher for being a groomer or whatever made-up grievance. His response was that people he talks to think that teachers should be armed if politicians, celebs, and athletes have armed security, but kids don't.

I'm too much of a wuss to laugh at him so I just said that I agree that teachers deserve better and I sighed loudly to myself. We are less a nation state and more a very large open-air insane asylum, and I don't see how it gets better anytime soon.
