It’s also clearly not designed with children in mind either. Read more
Personally, i have a good opinion of Nissan. The first brand new car i have ever bought was a 2011 Nissan Versa, which i paid $11,600 for. The car was awesome. Was it cheaply made? Absolutely. Did it admirably perform it’s duty of reliably getting me from point A to B? Sure did. I traded it in for a brand new… Read more
Another unusably fast, unobtainably expensive supercar that will almost exclusively be purchased by middle eastern oil barons and stored indefinitely with delivery miles in a sealed warehouse. The writeup/article is good and I don’t want to discount that, but man it is hard to care about new releases like this. Read more

I bought a 2023 Nissan Rogue. External cosmetics are gorgeous. Interior is FAR nicer than the RAV4 and Subaru Outback I rented. Electronics are excellent. The 3-cylinder Turbo is very fun to drive - too soon to speak to its longevity. Gas mileage isn’t as good as I hoped, but ok. All for 32k Out The Door. I would… Read more
I had a 2002 Nissan Altima. The manual transmission went out at about 30K miles, and it took three months to get replacement parts from Japan. Read more
The new Z may be little more than a re-skin of the 370, but it’s a cool re-skin, and at $10,000 less than a Supra, it should have been a hit. Problem is, once greedy dealers got to work on the markups, it was no longer cheaper than a Supra, and at that point there was literally zero reason to buy one. Dealers are… Read more
I don’t think that there’s anything inherently wrong with the concept of offering some inexpensive cars and extending credit to people who might not otherwise be able to purchase a car. In fact, I think it’s a great idea. Read more
I think we are overthinking this. It’s so obvious a caveman can see it. “Nissan no sell many car, because Nissan car no good.” They got comfy making crappy cars that their dealers would then push to sell to anyone with a pulse that could qualify for a 14% apr 86 month loan. This has been their MO for decades, there is… Read more
1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer
In 2022 half the Buyback/Consumer Retention purchases of Stellantis were 4XE’s. Wrangler and Grand Cherokee customers often didn’t know how the vehicles normal operating procedures were and thus the ‘BuyBacks’ we see in the market. That and the post Covid soft hybrid market have made them very cheap. Look for $12k+… Read more
WHAT IS THIS? A bz4X FOR ANTS? Read more
The Mustang from Bullitt. The movie is awful* but the iconic car chase is just... bad. It’s like the much-mocked fight scene in “They Live” in that it goes on WAY too long. And in the end, it’s really just wedged, does little to advance the plot, it’s clearly there because the star wanted it.
*Yes, I’ve seen it. I… Read more
HONDA ELEMENT. Supposedly a couple recent Honda patents suggest they may be working on a new Element.
