Don’t these vehicles have GPS nav???

Seriously – what is the point of the gas hog hybrids?

Wouldn’t the hybrid tech be best used in vehicles that are typically sold to people who welcome a savings on gasoline? If I can afford a $50K luxury vehicle who cares how much it costs to drive?

Admittedly I am the guy that wants EVs everywhere but luxury hybrids getting only slightly better mileage than their gasoline powered cousins seems like greenwash to me.

…the AMC Eagle transformation will be complete.

Hah, yes! I had been thinking jacked-up Saab 9-3, but yes, the Eagle resemblance is definitely there.

Good call!

Losing touch in a major way here. Like the Aztek, we sit in our Aerons and wonder who in the hell let this thing escape. And, God, that last pic is too funny all squished up. As if it wasn’t bad enough to begin with.

BMW sure brings the hideous these days. Yet they still sell…

Great, just what the X6 needed – a taller hood to make it look even more ridiculous. Put some whitewall tires on it, and the AMC Eagle transformation will be complete.

Hooray, another jacked-up sedan with no rear headroom. Who in hell buys these things?

Robert, that was the most entertaining thing I’ve read (three times – that’s how many it took me to understand it) all week.

Bravo!

Sounds it was that dry Brit humor. “Petrol version?” “Bonnet?” Driver has bee under same, because BMW executive from outside the US makes wrong turns? Oh yes, everywhere outside the US they drive on the left side. And BMW test drivers wear Lederhosen.

This is big news, people. For years, car companies have been trying to match the 3-series BMW. Usually, their copies turn out to be less fun to drive, less fuel efficient, less comfortable and less attractive.

Now BWM itself has come up with a vehicle that is less fun to drive, less fuel efficient, less comfortable and less attractive. Well, at least it will be a lot cheaper than a 335iX. Right?
