2022 Mercedes-Benz SL: Sportlicht, Indeed

Question: What’s the longest-running nameplate in the history of Mercedes-Benz? Answer: the SL, going all the way back to the W194 from 1952. You’d be forgiven, though, for thinking the two-seater, big-dollar roadster was no longer around.

Overshadowed by both the soon-to-be-discontinued S-Class Cabriolet and the AMG GT Roadster, the current-generation, ugly-is-bone-deep R231 SL has been a major sales disappointment for the men and women behind the three-pointed star. Only 1,791 people loved this underwhelming GT enough to buy one in 2019. Toyota sells more Land Cruisers. But fear not, Super-Leicht faithful, help in the form of a new SL is arriving next year.

Billed as the 2022 SL, the new convertible will be on sale by the latter half of 2021 and will be given the internal designation of R232. Returning to the model’s roots, we expect the SL to be much sportier than the current luxo-barge.

In fact, there may not even be a Mercedes-Benz SL, only a Mercedes-AMG SL. This assumption is bolstered by the fact that the next SL will be entirely designed by Mercedes’ in-house hot rod division, AMG. In fact, the R232 will be built on the next-generation AMG GT platform.

Spy shots indicate that the new SL will lose its now-traditional folding hardtop and instead go with a canvas roof. Seems as if the SL will grow from a two-seater to something like a 2+2 (not quite a four-seater, but plenty of duffel bag space behind the front seats), not only to differentiate it from the GT (a problem the current two-passenger car has vis-à-vis the current two-passenger GT) but also to fill the hole left in the lineup by the retired four-passenger S-Class Cab.

Powertrain choices will be many, starting with a RWD car (SL 43) perhaps powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. (We doubt Mercedes would port its archaic 3.0-liter V-6 to a 2022 model year product, though stranger things have happened.) Next would be an AWD model (SL 53 4Matic+) motivated by the brand’s M256 48-volt mild hybrid 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, plus something called the SL 73e 4Matic+.

Breaking down that last moniker, the 73e refers to a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 in conjunction with a hybrid motor good for (probably) more than 800 horsepower, whereas 4Matic+ means all-wheel drive with Drift mode. There will also, of course, be an SL 63 4Matic+, as well as something called SL 55 S 4Matic+. We’re assuming that the SL 55 S will be a high-output version of the M256, i.e. an AMG-tuned inline-six. It’s looking like only the base SL 43 will be RWD-only.

You might expect every SL to use a version of Mercedes’ nine-speed automatic transmission. However, the current AMG GT uses a dual-clutch transaxle. We have to imagine that in order to keep up with the Joneses (Porsche 911, mid-engine Corvette), the GT will retain its dual-clutch and transaxle.

Therefore, it makes sense that the next SL will feature a dual-clutch transmission mounted behind the driver. But that would mean AWD SLs would need a second, long driveshaft returning from the transmission to power the front wheels, Nissan GT-R style. We think not.

Could the SL have an automatic while the GT retains its dual-clutch transaxle? Maybe, but super doubtful, as that’s overstretching a platform. AMG boss Tobias Moers has said that the SL is returning to its sporty roots, so maybe a dual-clutch transaxle for the rear wheels and the front wheels are powered by electricity?

Obviously, we have much to learn about the new Mercedes-Benz SL, including its price. But $100,000 seems like a logical place to start.

Low degree of momentary Tesla profitability forward of collapse: Brief vendor

Stanphyl Capital’s letter to traders for the month of November, 2019, discussing the momentary Tesla profitability.

dominickvietor / Pixabay

We stay quick inventory and name choices in Tesla Inc. (TSLA), which I nonetheless take into account to be the largest single inventory bubble on this entire bubble market. The core factors of our Tesla quick thesis are:

Q3 2019 hedge fund letters, conferences and extra

Tesla has no “moat” of any type; i.e., nothing meaningfully proprietary when it comes to electrical automobile expertise, whereas current automakers—in contrast to Tesla—have a decades-long “experience moat” of understanding the right way to mass-produce, distribute and repair high-quality automobiles constantly and profitably, in addition to the power to subsidize losses on electrical automobiles with earnings from their typical automobiles. By mid-to-late 2020 Tesla and its terrible stability sheet will return to dropping cash. Tesla is now a “busted growth story”; income was roughly flat sequentially and declined year-over-year whereas unit demand for its automobiles is barely being maintained by way of continuous worth reductions and expiring tax incentives. Elon Musk is a securities fraud-committing pathological liar.

Tesla reported Q3 earnings in October and income for this alleged “growth company” was lots of of thousands and thousands of dollars decrease than the year-ago quarter (U.S. income was down 39%!) and likewise down vs. the earlier quarter, but sequential Tesla profitability unexpectedly flipped from a $408 million GAAP loss in Q2 2019 to a $153 million Q3 revenue (vs. our expectation of a $300 million loss). In final month’s letter I laid out a number of the reason why Q3 would, in actual fact, have proven a multi-hundred-million-dollar loss with out varied accounting video games and unsustainable expense cuts, and in November fund supervisor Jim Chanos laid out a concise case on Twitter why even when one accepts Tesla’s numbers its fairness is value “zero.”

We might also see an analogous low degree of momentary Tesla profitability in This autumn (the one we’re in now) or Q1 of 2020, when in a single or (divided between) each of these quarters Tesla acknowledges roughly $500 million of non-cash (it’s already on the stability sheet) deferred income from its fraudulently named “Full Self-Driving” (the capabilities of which supply nothing of the type). By rolling out varied ineffective and harmful options of this homicidal software program suite, Tesla will declare that prior consumers of this nonsense obtained what they paid for, and can thus run these non-cash earnings by way of its monetary assertion, thereby once more maybe offering this money-losing firm with a fleeting second of minor profitability. As with Q3, these can be non-repeatable one-time good points (or, if you happen to favor, “games”), and later in 2020 the losses will resume.

In the meantime Tesla is barely exhibiting unit supply progress (with declining income) by intensive 2019 worth slashing and fulfilling Mannequin Three backlog in international locations the place deliveries simply started (most notably the UK in Q3 and South Korea in This autumn), and the place EV incentives are about to run out (the Netherlands till year-end). In different phrases, the Tesla “hypergrowth” story is over.

For these of you in search of a resumption of progress from Tesla’s upcoming Mannequin Y, when it’s obtainable in Q2 2020 it’s going to each massively cannibalize gross sales of the Mannequin Three sedan and (by late 2020) face superior competitors from the a lot nicer electrical Audi This autumn e-tron, BMW iX3, Mercedes EQB, Volvo XC40 and Volkswagen ID Crozz, whereas cheaper and obtainable now are the superb new all-electric Hyundai Kona and Kia Niro, extraordinarily nicely reviewed small crossovers with an EPA vary of 258 miles for the Hyundai and 238 miles for the Kia, at costs of beneath $30,000 inclusive of the $7500 U.S. tax credit score. In the meantime, the Mannequin Three sedan could have terrific direct “sedan competition” in 2020 from Volvo’s stunning new Polestar 2, the BMW i4 and the premium model of Volkswagen’s ID.Three.

And if you happen to suppose China is the key to the resumption of Tesla’s progress, let’s put that market in perspective: Tesla at present sells round 30,000 Mannequin 3s a yr there and “the story” is that avoiding the 15% tariff and 10% VAT will enable it to promote much more. Nevertheless, the rule of thumb for the elasticity of auto pricing is that each 1% worth minimize leads to a gross sales improve of 1% to 2.four%. If we assume a 2.4x “elasticity multiplier,” domestically produced Mannequin 3s which are 25% cheaper would lead to annual gross sales of 48,000 Mannequin 3s (25% x 2.four = 60% greater than the present 30,000), that means Tesla’s new Chinese language manufacturing unit could be an enormous money-loser as it will be operating at lower than 1/Three of its preliminary 150,000-unit annual capability. Maybe realizing this, Tesla is initially mandating the acquisition of Autopilot, and thus Chinese language-made Mannequin Three will solely be barely cheaper than earlier variations. Though that may considerably enhance per-car profitability and maybe make the manufacturing unit marginally worthwhile, it’s going to assure vastly missed progress targets and it’s “growth” (or extra precisely, the fantasy of progress) that drives Tesla’s inventory worth. And good luck with rising at any worthwhile worth—right here’s an ideal overview of what a dogfight the Chinese language EV market has develop into.

In the meantime, gross sales of Tesla’s highest-margin automobiles (the Fashions S&X) are down by over 30% worldwide this yr, because of cannibalization from the Mannequin Three and the not too long ago launched Audi e-tron and Jaguar I-Tempo, and this gross sales drop is earlier than this winter’s arrival of the Mercedes EQC and completely spectacular Porsche Taycan, with a number of extra electrical Audis, Mercedes and Porsches to comply with, many at beginning costs significantly under these of the high-end Teslas. (See the hyperlinks under for extra particulars.)

And oh, the joke of a “pickup truck” Tesla launched in November gained’t be any type of “growth engine” both, particularly as if it’s ever constructed it’s going to enter a dogfight of a market.

In the meantime, Tesla has probably the most government departures I’ve ever seen from any firm; right here’s the astounding full record of escapees. These individuals aren’t leaving as a result of issues are going nice (and even passably) at Tesla; somewhat, they’re doubtless leaving as a result of Musk is both an outright criminal or the world’s greatest jerk to work for (or each). May the enterprise (if not the inventory worth) be saved in its current type if he left? Nope, it’s too late. Even when Musk steps down in favor of somebody who is aware of what he’s doing, rising aggressive components (outlined in nice element under) and Tesla’s stability sheet and big extra liabilities make the corporate too late to “fix” with out main monetary and operational restructuring.

In Could Shopper Stories fully eviscerated the protection of Tesla’s so-called “Autopilot” system; in actual fact, Teslas have way more professional rata (i.e., relative to the quantity bought) lethal incidents than different comparable new luxurious automobiles; right here’s a hyperlink to these which were made public. In the meantime Shopper Report’s annual auto reliability survey ranks Tesla 23rd out of 30 manufacturers and the variety of lawsuits of all kinds towards the corporate continues to escalate– there at the moment are over 800 together with one proving blatant fraud by Musk within the SolarCity buyout (if you wish to be actually entertained, learn his deposition!), an allegation that unsafe door handles precipitated a Tesla driver to burn to demise in his automobile, and proof that the corporate secretly rolled again battery efficiency with out compensating homeowners.

So right here is Tesla’s competitors in automobiles (word: these hyperlinks are frequently up to date)…

New Audi A8 L launch in early 2020

27th Dec 2019 2:18 pm

The fourth era of Audi’s flagship luxurious sedan to launch with V6 petrol engine.

2019 has been a tricky 12 months for the business, and Audi too. Aside from gross sales strain, the corporate additionally confronted delays with a few of it is launches. The A8, which made its world premiere again in 2017 was lastly slated to launch in India in the direction of finish 2019; and the luxurious sedan will now come to our market in February 2020 – as knowledgeable by Balbir Singh Dhillon, head, Audi India.

The international-spec fourth era of the A8 continues to be out there in commonplace (A8) and long-wheelbase (A8 L) varieties. Having grown 37mm longer and 17mm taller than the outgoing mannequin, the latter configuration accentuates rear-seat consolation; and that is what is predicted to make its solution to our market, at a beginning worth of Rs. 1.10 crore (estimated, ex-showroom).

The upcoming A8 will get a a lot sleeker look (in line with Audi’s newest design language) as in comparison with its predecessor. The new-gen flagship mannequin sports activities a distinguished hexagonal grille up entrance, flanked by modern HD Matrix-LED headlamps, adorned with chrome aplenty. The neatly designed rear-end options slim OLED tail-lamps related by a full-width gentle bar, giving the car a wider-looking stance.

The inside sees lots of the bodily buttons swapped out in favour of digital surfaces and is awash with screens. Audi’s Virtual Cockpit instrument cluster sits in the centre console, replete with a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen and an 8.6-inch curved show for working varied local weather management, seating, and multimedia features.

Globally, the Audi flagship is obtainable with a wide range of powertrains. 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol and diesel engines placing out 340hp and 286hp respectively, function entry-level energy models. A 460hp, twin-turbocharged petrol V8 and a 459hp plug-in hybrid.

The A8 L with a 3.0-litre petrol V6 is the mannequin most definitely to make its solution to the Indian market, whereas availability of the opposite engine choices remains to be not recognized. The global-spec car additionally comes with Level Three autonomous driving know-how; however given the dearth of the infrastructure required for optimum L3 autonomy, it stays to be seen what stage of tech can be on provide in India.

Initially, Audi is predicted to carry the sedan right here as a CBU. Upon launch, the luxurious sedan will go up in opposition to the likes of the just lately launched BMW 7 Series facelift, in addition to the Mercedes-Benz S-class, Lexux LS 500h, and Jaguar XJ.

The Future of Jaguar and Land Rover: Here’s What to Expect

Everyone is going electric, but given the high costs associated with developing EVs, it’s little surprise luxury brands now lead the mainstream push. Tesla (and to a lesser extent, Nissan) got the ball rolling, Mercedes-Benz created its EQ brand, the VW Group introduced the Audi E-Tron and Porsche Taycan, Ford says the Lincoln brand will lead its EV efforts, and General Motors has appointed Cadillac to lead on its side. But what about a company like Jaguar Land Rover, a much smaller automaker that consists of two luxury brands still wed to big, growling gasoline and diesel engines? We talked to Joe Eberhardt, president and CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America, about the automaker’s plans when it comes to electrification.

The All-New, All-Electric Jaguar XJ Should Break Cover This Year

Jaguar is preparing to introduce the next generation of its flagship sedan: the XJ, which we expect to see this year before it becomes available in 2021. Unlike the gas-fired previous-gen version shown above, the new car will exclusively have an electric powertrain. It will use JLR’s MLA (Modular Longitudinal Architecture) platform slated to underpin a wide swath of new vehicles in the years to come. “It’s a different interpretation of a sedan, but it’s a sedan,” Eberhardt said of the XJ. While the MLA was designed with the flexibility to produce vehicles with gasoline and diesel engines, mild hybrids (48-volt system), plug-in hybrids, and battery electric vehicles, Eberhardt said there are no plans to give the XJ a combustion engine. “The XJ is fully electric but there will be other models where we will have a combination of engine [options],” he said.

In June 2019, JLR said it was investing $1.15 billion at its Solihull and Castle Bromwich (which will make the XJ) plants to make vehicles on the MLA platform with an assortment of powertrains. Eberhardt said the ultimate goal is not necessarily to be a pure EV brand. “In my professional lifetime, we won’t be a full electric. Our stated goal is that every new Jaguar or Land Rover product that is launched will have at least one form of electrified powerplant. The important element is being every new car.”

Jaguar J-Pace in Development?

One of those new cars is expected to be the long-rumored Jaguar J-Pace electric crossover, which would serve as a crossover SUV companion to the XJ. Eberhardt would not comment on it. Autocar in the U.K. reports an electric Land Rover nicknamed the “Road Rover” is also in the works. All three electric vehicles could be on sale by the end of 2021. And the J-Pace and “Road Rover” could be offered as hybrids, as well.

The Jaguar I-Pace, introduced in 2018, is Jaguar’s first electric vehicle and its construction is contracted through Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria. It isn’t meeting sales expectations—it sold less than 2,600 units in the U.S. last year—but if there is a second generation, it could also move to the MLA platform and assembly could be brought in-house to either of the retooled U.K. plants.

When it comes to electrification, JLR does not want to differentiate by brand, say, by making Jaguar the electric-vehicle poster child while Land Rover is the capable, combustion-engine SUV brand. The degree of electrification will be on a model-by-model basis. “I don’t think there’s one size fits all,” says Eberhardt. It will depend on the vehicle, platform and even the infrastructure. “Clearly on a large SUV, a full battery-electric vehicle is more difficult. If you look at the geometry, if you look at the weight, if you look at some of the off-road capabilities, it’s not as easy. So, there’s different powertrains that fit different applications. Our goal will be to find the best possible solutions for customers in each of those segments. That’s why we are not all eggs in one basket but try to be selective and build a combination that works for the customer.” The expectation is Range Rover and Ranger Rover Sport models will lean more to being plug-in hybrids or feature 48-volt mild hybrid systems, with some halo electric models. Eberhardt would not comment on a high-performance electrified powertrain from JLR for a future SVR. “Couldn’t announce it or confirm it,” he says.

Diesels

JLR will also continue to offer diesel engines for the foreseeable future. “We still offer diesels in Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Discovery,” Eberhardt said. “They do have some significant and fundamental benefits in terms of range, fuel economy, and torque for towing. It remains to be seen what the long-term future is for diesels. We have a good take rate. Customers are very happy with it. It is increasingly difficult and challenging, though, given the entire push back on the industry. As far as we’re concerned, it’s a good powertrain to have but whether it will be there in perpetuity remains to be seen.” In other words, JLR’s diesel V-8, as well as its gasoline V-8 and the new supercharged I-6 Ingenium engine, are not going away anytime soon.

Waymo Autonomous Vehicles

For most automakers, electric vehicles go hand in hand with autonomous capability. In the case of JLR, the automaker is working with Waymo and signed a contract to supply up to 20,000 electric I-Paces for Waymo’s autonomous commercial ride-hailing service. “We have the contract to supply a minimum of 9,000 vehicles. We haven’t started delivering them,” Eberhardt said last month. So far Waymo has been working with Jaguar prototypes. “We are in constant discussions with them. The final details are not ready to be announced, but clearly that’s an ongoing [partnership].”

Waymo is outfitting the I-Pace with fifth-generation technology that includes multiple lidar sensors including one on the roof and one on each corner of the vehicle for a full 360-degree view of the world. Eberhardt would not say if JLR benefits from the technology Waymo is testing, saying again that discussions are ongoing. And JLR is working on autonomous-vehicle technology of its own. “We have prototypes running in the U.K. as part of some engineering partnerships with universities, University of Warwick in particular. We’re part of some government-funded initiatives in the U.K.”

2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class spy shots and video

https://bestcaritems.com/?p=6533&utm_source=SocialAutoPoster&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Tumblr Prototypes for Mercedes-Benz’s next-generation S-Class have been spotted again. The car is expected to debut at the 2019 Frankfurt auto show and should be in showrooms in 2020 as a 2021 model. From earlier test mules, we know the general size and proportions will match up with the current model but there will be a slightly wider track and it also looks like the hood will be lower and longer. This should give the car an impressive stance. The current Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the W222, was introduced for 2014 and immediately rocketed to the top of the sales chart. The six-figure sedan racked up more than 100,000 sales in its first year and that was before the arrival of additional body styles such as the two-door cars and extra-long Maybach and Pullman. It’s clear the new S-Class has some big shoes to fill. Luckily for it, it will adopt a new platform, in this case Mercedes’ MRA design for rear-wheel-drive cars. The current S-Class rides on an updated version of its predecessor’s architecture. It’s hard to gauge what Mercedes has in store for the new S-Class this early out. The current model just received its mid-cycle update for 2018 so understandably Mercedes is shy to talk about the next one. We already know a few things, however. 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class spy shots – Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien Every powertrain will be electrified, either with mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid technology, and most engines will either be a 3.0-liter inline-6 or 4.0-liter V-8. It’s not clear if there will be an electric version as Mercedes is working on a large electric sedan under the EQ sub-brand. But getting back to the new S-Class, there will also be much more advanced self-driving systems, including perhaps a Level 3 system. This is where the car can handle its own in certain situations, leaving the driver free to do other things. However, the driver will need to be ready to take back control at a moment’s notice. Audi has already introduced such a system in its latest A8, though it isn’t available in the U.S. due to a lack of regulations. A shot of the interior also suggests that Mercedes may ditch the current dual-screen digital dash of the current S-Class in favor of a single-screen unit for the new model. 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class spy shots – Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien We also expect Mercedes to offer the next S-Class in multiple body lengths, from a short wheelbase right up to the extra-long Pullman. However, there’s a good chance the current S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet will be phased out. A roomier next-generation SL-Class with 2+2 seating is expected to fill the void. S-Class rivals include the Audi A8, Bentley Flying Spur, BMW 7-Series, Genesis G90, Jaguar XJ and Lexus LS. Stay tuned for updates as development continues. Via MotorAuthority

2019 Honda CR-V EX-L FWD: Why I’d Buy It – Alex Nishimoto

“What SUV should I buy?” It’s a question consumers ask themselves every day, but what would online editor Alex Nishimoto drive? Keep reading for the answer, and see other editors’ picks here.

I’ve been putting off buying a new car for more than half my life. I learned to dread the process as a kid after being trapped at a dealership for eight hours while my parents haggled for their new wheels. As a result of that experience, I’ve stuck to private-sale used cars my entire adult life. But as you can imagine, my priorities changed when my first kid was born a year ago.

Prior to my son’s arrival in May 2018, I was your average early-millennial car nerd. If you looked through my Craigslist search history, you’d see an odd mix of old-car keywords: BMW E36 M3 sedan, Jaguar XJ Series I, Triumph Spitfire, Saab 900 Turbo, Nissan 300ZX Z32, etc. To a certain group of enthusiasts, those are all undeniably cool cars, but they have something else in common—they’re all less than ideal for transporting a baby. (OK, maybe the four-door M3 could squeak by in that role.) As a married man in my mid-30s with a house, a reasonable amount of disposable income, and, crucially, access to press cars thanks to this job, I could have made one of the above options work as a second vehicle/ongoing project. But with my son now in the picture and my wife’s 2006 Acura TSX approaching 150,000 miles, any questionable car-buying decisions would have to wait until my midlife crisis.

With my plans to pick up a weekend car foiled, what would I buy now? To accommodate our new addition, it would need to have four doors and a back seat spacious enough to fit an infant car seat (and, eventually, a larger convertible car seat). A large cargo area would be great to have, as we’ll be lugging around bulky items like his stroller and Pack ’n Play. And because this vehicle will be transporting our most precious cargo, excellent safety ratings are a must. It also needs to be dead reliable, and for my own peace of mind that meant buying new. Realizing that, I knew I had to get over my dealership phobia.

With a budget of about $30,000, we started looking at new cars that met the above criteria. My wife, Courtney, would be the one driving it most, and she preferred something with similar dimensions to her TSX. At 183.3 inches long and 69.4 inches wide, the first-gen TSX is about the same length as most compact crossovers, so going with one of those she would just need to get used to the extra width and, obviously, the increased height. With that, we narrowed our search to the compact crossover class and quickly arrived at a top two: the Subaru Forester and Honda CR-V.

Both are solid choices that earn top marks in safety, with the 2019 CR-V named an IIHS Top Safety Pick and the 2019 Forester a Top Safety Pick+. Both also have roomy interiors and good-sized cargo areas. But ultimately, the decision came down to available engines. The 2019 Subaru Forester is offered with just one engine choice, a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated flat-four that makes 182 hp and 176 lb-ft of torque. That might not sound that far off from the 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of the CR-V’s available 1.5-liter turbocharged I-4, but the difference in how they drive is night and day. The Forester felt sluggish off the line and in traffic, requiring deliberate and ample throttle application to pass. The 1.5-liter turbo in the CR-V, on the other hand, is lively and responsive. Although the 1.5T CR-V and TSX deliver power differently, Courtney thought they felt similar enough that she wouldn’t need to make big adjustments to her driving style.

Now that we had settled on the CR-V, the question was which one to get. We had already ruled out the base LX trim because we wanted the turbo engine, as well as features like Apple CarPlay and heated seats, which you can’t get with the LX. We reasoned that leather upholstery would be more baby-friendly than cloth, as liquid spills would be easier to clean up. Leather is standard on EX-L and the top-trim Touring model. The latter comes with features we could probably live without. Onboard navigation isn’t necessary because we can run Google Maps on CarPlay, and although the hands-free power liftgate could be useful, Courtney has gotten by with just a remote-opening trunk up until now.

The EX-L trim was our Goldilocks model (a Touring is shown above), but we still had one decision left: front- or all-wheel drive? We don’t really need the extra traction living in Southern California, and given Courtney’s 40-mile roundtrip commute, the 1-mpg advantage of the front-drive model would add up over time. All-wheel drive might come in handy if we ever took a trip to the mountains to see snow, or maybe on a camping trip involving some light dirt trails. But even with all-wheel drive, I wouldn’t be comfortable taking the CR-V too far off the beaten path. For that, I could always choose a legit four-wheeler as my midlife crisis car.

Knowing the exact model we wanted, we headed to the dealership and bought a brand-new 2019 Honda CR-V EX-L FWD in Modern Steel Metallic. And it only took five hours this time. Here’s hoping my son is too young to develop the same scars I did.
