Car Chat 2: The Place You Go When Plac ISN'T Considering a New Car

[Gunkata]

Saw one yesterday downtown, nice, but even smaller than I thought they'd be, lol.

even smaller than I thought they'd be, lol.

That's what makes it appealing to me. It's more like a tall Porsche hatchback. Pretty neat car, honestly.

It has no more space than a mk7 Golf :lol:

 

[Zillon]

It has no more space than a mk7 Golf :lol:

But AWD, ground clearance, and P-car badge.

If I lived somewhere colder, I'd love one for a winter car/general runabout.

Exactly, I love that its small, premium and quick.

Why is that funny?

 

[maxtdi]

Everyone surely loves their crossovers :laugh:

 

[troyguitar]

Why is that funny?

Because it's 16 inches longer, 6 inches wider, 7 inches taller.

It's WAY WAY bigger on the outside and somehow not any bigger on the inside. The power of Porsche backward-ass engineering?

If maximum space is needed its the wrong vehicle. If I were going for maximum interior, minimum exterior, I'd buy a Fit.

It's not engineered to be a Fit.

Amazing that one of the best spors-car makers is also a maker of amazing SUV/Crossover's. SO much for ass backwards engineering lol. GM has ALOT to learn among others lol! :thumbsup:

Bro its a cross over. Everyone has to get one! It's the new thing. Its not an suv because its a gas guzzler. Its not a car because this way you have to REACH UP in the drive through. And its NEWW!

Yes, everyone must choose only ONE feature for any car to have.

Want to go fast? Buy a Veyron.

Want space? Buy a van.

Want track capability? Ariel Atom.

Why the fuck can't someone want a car that does well in multiple areas?

Yep, you have to settle. No one builds to the extreme. If they did it would no longer be the extreme because there would be a sacrifice somewhere due to tradeoff.

I don't track so I'll settle for a crossover that goes to 60 in under 5 seconds and has the versatility to hold a bathtub. 2 out of 3 isn't bad.

You could get a golf R and save 30k but I suppose you want the badge.
