Olympic Mathlete posted:At least it's not as poo poo looking and over the top as the Toyota CH-R. I see them regularly and can't get over how incoherent the design is from every single angle. Soft lines, hard lines, none of which line up or accentuate the others, curves for no reason, the tiny little stick on spoiler below the rear windscreen on a boot that should've had that stamped into the metal itself, the rear door handles over 5' in the air along with the windows way above the head of any kid sat in the back...

Rhyno posted:IT'S A JEEP THING Wish I took pics of the last car show I went to. The entire back lot was filled with Jeeps doing that thing where you drive one of your tires on top of another Jeep's tire to showcase that SICK ARTICULATION, BRO. STR posted:Meanwhile my mother is looking for a new car, and I can't convince her to test drive a Camry. "There's no way it can be as nice as my Avalon!". Her Avalon is a 2003.... it's was a nice car for 1998, it was dated by 2003. Instead she wants to look at Lexus SUVs/CUVs (also she constantly bitches about the mpg in her Avalon.. the 4 banger Camry has more hp than her V6 (though a bit less torque), and cranks out 30+ mpg easily.) Why isn't she looking at another Avalon? Then again, she's probably dead-set on having a tall wagony Lexus to cruise around in. Unless she has a sudden revelation about that Camry, she'll feel like she's settling for less if she actually buys one. 90s Solo Cup fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Apr 5, 2019 |

Balliver Shagnasty posted:Why isn't she looking at another Avalon? Ironically, not looking at another Avalon because they're "too big for a car, too small for a SUV". Her 2nd gen Avalon barely fits in the garage now. It looks like she's leaning toward a Lexus NX on a 2 year lease - I believe that'd be shorter, but taller. It's the length of the car that will determine if she can get it in the garage. The Camry probably won't be an option; she's had a double hip replacement, and can't fall into a car - she already has trouble getting into her Avalon, and even the latest model Camry sits a bit lower. She's much more comfortable climbing into the car and falling out (so to speak). She refuses to get into my current car. She recently whacked 70, and she doesn't drive nearly as much anymore. So I think a low mileage lease would work well for her.
