They did. The first LX and early LD years of the Charger (and 300C) could be had with all wheel drive. Read more

Cheaper housing, especially back in the 2000s where single family homes there were going for like $150k-$200k. The numbers have slowed down over the years, but its still a lot. Just in ‘19 alone, 100k people from California moved to Vegas. Read more

True. But like you mentioned, context. This a vehicle that just over a year or two ago couldn’t be found on dealer lots and Ford was closing order banks from time to time. Now there’s nearly 10k for sale and no one is showing up. That’s telling. Read more

I honestly don’t know. My son originally sent it to me lol. Read more

Yep. Highlights how crazy expensive the iQ was. People seem to forget that it cost more than a Yaris which boggles the mind. Also, hi Mercedes:) Read more

Automakers realized that a portion of the driving population existed that would pay more to play.  Read more

Good point on the infrastructure. Read more

It’ll be up next week for the plug in. Another week or so for the I6 model. Read more

Nope just the enthusiasts in us. We’re not alone though. We see it all the time: Someone says they need a safe and reliable family car with room for their stuff and someone down in the comments recommends an E60 M5. Read more

This is very true. But keep in mind reservations don’t always equal a sale. And automakers know this, which is why they don’t often tell us just how many reservations convert to a sold/build order. A study has shown that some of these buyers reserve multiple vehicles at once and end up buying whatever gets done first.

Its not that people need a shit load of range or a super fast EV. Its more that the EPAs range estimates tend to be just that, estimates. And they’re often not close to what the manufacturer tells the public. That 232 miles of range is really more like 180-210 miles and thats before you factor in variables like… Read more

I get surprised at the number of people who turn to look at this thing. Read more

Build quality is great, which honestly surprised me. I still have yet to encounter an interior trim piece that feels ill fitting or flimsy. Even the shifter, which is electronic and is probably one of the best I’ve used, feels good to the touch. Read more

Same. Thats one thing I don’t like about the lineup, it goes from mild to hot with no in-between. A V6 with 350-375 hp between the standard car and Q would have been great. Read more

This is it exactly. Nearly all the reliability worry that Alfa gets stems from those initial Quadrifoglio press cars everyone got their hands on years ago. From then on everyone just piled on. Even people that had never driven the regular Giulia or the Quadrifoglio talked about Alfa’s reliability because they heard it… Read more

I was talking about the Giulia Quadrifoglio compared to the Golf R. Read more

They say its 5 years/100,000 miles with 5,000 different components covered with $0 deductible as long as the repair is covered. Read more

I’d go for the Giulia, especially the four leaves. It’s performance would blow the Golf R out of the water. But if you want a lease special or used leased special thats fun to drive and cheap, you cant go wrong with a Giulia. Read more

They ride on the same platform and share most of the same internal mechincals. I’ve even gone as far as calling the Stelvio a Giulia crossover. They even have near identical interiors:
