The Range Rover has supplanted the S-Class & the 7-Series as Executive Luxury Car of Choice. Wealthy Neighborhoods used to be crawling with S-Classes & 7 Series, now it's Range Rovers. Mercedes Benz has been trying to force its customers to buy non-offroad capable crossover GLE/GLS SUVs, but they're rebelling. Their clients either want either the offroad capable Range Rover or the offroad capable G-Class. After all, If you're going to get an SUV that doesn't have offroad capablility, what's the point?
>>29125710that's only because the GLS is so goofy lookingrange rover won by default
>>29126381These days $50k is a lot of money while $1M isn't.
>>29129341Yep
I am a financial advisor. Most of my actually wealthy clients drive G Wagons and Yukons and a few have fancy sports cars like an RS 7 but those are usually divorced doctors or professional athletes. Upper middle class moms will either drive a BMW X5 or a Jeep. Indian techies drive Teslas. The biggest posers that want to look rich but aren’t always drive Jaguars. Grandma that inherited her husbands 401k splurges on a Lexus crossover.

it's Reagan's first term. can you handle the raw intensity of your smog 255 V8 Mustang with 105 hp?
>>29131042>>29130640early 80s cars in general don't have a high survival rate as there were not as many of them due to smaller car sales in this period and shittier build quality. i've seen far more late 70s wheels IRL than i ever have anything from 80-84.
>>29130515That's not the Mustang in the OP pic
>>29131061yes. it's an 83 Mustang after the 302 was back and performance was returning. the OP is an energy crisis 255 V8 one.
>>29131067>>2913074181 MY cars went on sale in fall '80. this was when Carter was president. the 82 models came out a year later when Reagan was in office and there was a sense of optimism that things were going to get better so they brought back the 302 engine.
>>29130706this was the average car in 68 not a Hemi Charger. boomers fudged history a bit?
Korean products are cheap imitations. Everything they make is a lower quality copy of something that's actually good, with a bunch of "feature" bloatware packed in to appease consumer cattle, but no actual quality underneath.Samsung phones are big gaudy things loaded with an inferior UI and more bloatware than an eMachines PC from 2002. LG TVs are laggy pieces of shit that barely function aside from actively spying on you to sell your data.Their cars are no different. Korean cars are peak NPC klarna disposable trash, that are meant to catch the eye of the single mom who sees a big gaudy badge, and a relatively low price tag. The quintessential hairdressers brand. They've made nothing worth keeping since their inception and likely never will.There isn't a single Korean car that anyone cares about beyond it's use as a disposable appliance.
>>29120869Meh... still better than those cheap burger cars.
>>29120869The land of “not quite right”. I bet north korea will surpass them soon.
>>29121343I'd say the good motors are the MPi Lambdas and the MPi Tau engines, but those aren't the big volume sellers for Korean cars and they haven't produced them in several years.
the interiors use shitty Rubbermaid plastics and the drivetrains are very unrefined; the cars vibrate a lot when running. it's like driving a 70s car. you wouldn't believe that's still acceptable in the 21st century.
>>29125767>They are still built mountains better than anything the Chinese can shit outor, lol, Indian cars
redpill me on used Subaruswhy are they so comparatively cheap?
>>29130920Because they don't have Toyota or Honda "premium poorfag brand" reputation, so they depreciate more. This is bad for sellers but good for you if you're buying used.>>29130922Subaru fixed this many years ago, meanwhile damn near every Honda on the road is currently rolling out with a faulty head gasket.
>>29130920Their boxer engines tend to blow gaskets.
>>29130922did you just time travel from 2004 or something
>>29130920Premium maintenance without being a premium car
>>29130984instead the subarus have cvt issues on the autos and burn oil and spin rod bearings even on the non-turbos. they also leak oil out of every gasket and will need a ps pump and rack replacement at some point <120k miles often as early as <70k

Are paint chips acceptable on a new car? Am I being petty for asking the dealership to fix this? The car is worth $47 ,000.
>>29126401>>29126411>>29126428>>29126430>>29126440>>29126503>>29126682>>29126811>>29126988>>29127140So I got the car back and this is the touch up job their painter did. They even missed a spot...
>>29130837their painter? retard they went to autozone and got a 5 dollar paint touch up pen
>>29130837>he bought it even after the dealership treated him so poorly>he paid $47k for a durangoI'm conflicted, I like submissive bitches and you're clearly one but financial recklessness is a turnoff
>>29130837lmao it looks worsewhat are you gonna do now
>>29126401>Are paint chips acceptable on a new car?No, it's new. You're supposed to get a new car, not a damaged new car.Every other industry that sells damaged new goods (which they call factory seconds) places a steep discount of a product that doesn't pass muster.

there's nothing funnier than boomers at classic car shows seeing an 80s car and be like "tf man? that hunk of scrap isn't an antique, it's a used car. my ex-wife used to drive one of those."
>>29130487I'm somewhat surprised that the ubiquity of ipads in cars now hasn't made that the cut off point in peoples minds. A screen-free car is a practically a vintage experience now.

Why did they make it so fucking ugly
The roaster should look like this. The cybertruck's lines are actually nice but only work on a low vehicle which is why the cybertruck looks like a retarded minivan.
>>29123859>Why did they make it so fucking uglyIs there a Tesla vehicle that's not ugly?
>>29124365He didn't say steer by wire was bad for performance.He said it can't truly mimic the feel of actual feedback through mechanical steering.And that makes it less fun to drive.
The cybertruck should be shaped more like this. Elon should be baned from styling vehicless like Yoshiyuki Tomino should be banned from mechanical designs. Stick to being the idea man.
>>29131025Nah, it's still ugly, just less awkward looking.
Any cheap tire connoisseurs? Any recs?
>>29129656kek this guy is still living in the 2000s and thinks rubber is something no one else can figure out>Tires are something you really can't cheap out on>>29130747>>29130799anyone doing basic A to B driving in a commuter box can get by on the cheapest tires available. Some old fuck in a suzuki s presso does not need pilot sports or equivalent.
>>29129643I of course only buy Michelin for my self but my gf has made Chinese tires last 5 years. They are louder and have terrible grip but insanely cheap
>>29130747This is my gripe with car reviews. They'll say a car has tons of grip when it's the tires doing most of the work there. Yes the suspension plays a part - 200tw rubber on a mitsu mirage will still feel bad. But if you could figure out how to put something like Bridgestone ecopias on an R35 GT-R nobody would be praising the grip
>>29129643I am a cheap tire connoisseur. Buy used name brand tires from salvage yards for 25-50% of new msrp.
Let me take you to the land of $50 chinese tires, free shipping, that will last you almost a decade.>185/60R14Not a lot of non-chink options left with 14"s.

>>29122673It's cool and all but I simply do not care for cars I will never be able to afford, this is like taking an interest in luxury yachts. Why bother discussing matters I'll never be able to afford? Though admittedly I'm still excited for any fighter jets that come out
>>29128846Did actually bother importing a Demon there, considering there's only 3300 of them, and you also have to convert it to RHD when inporting to Oz?
>>29123508Still not big enough for your mother
>>29128289It’s basically going in to production. Porsche makes M3/ RS5 / corvette competitor cars and sells them for $130k-$250k. They’re still M3 quality in that their steel and 6 cylinders on McDonald’s struts. The issue is Lambo and Ferrari and McLaren make cars out of aluminum and CF and have more power and so they command the $250-$600k price where Porsche currently can’t actually compete. They’re don’t actually make a car in that category. They have noticed the brand is worth more than the cars and people will pay over sticker for them and so they hired a new CEO who ran McLaren to basically move them upmarket and that means a car above the 911 that actually has Ferrari tier appointments and not BMW tier.It will be 8 cyl double bones and CF or aluminum. This is a clear and obvious upgrade from a 911 which was always a middle class car in quality even if the middle class have been priced out >>29128275Why would you waste a build slot on a low margin Caymen if you sell every super high mark up 911 you can build ?
>>29122688>H patternI knew I always liked Porsche.
