  1. Not that I know of, I got 22.8 right off the VW site for a plain Jane one and a few other sites as well.
  2. I'm reading the Golf has 22.8 Cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat, not ~17. The CRV and RAV4 both have near 40..
  3. I doubt the Blazer will be sporty in any way aside from styling if the Cruze RS is any indication.
  4. I'd rather get a Golf R than the XT4. More cargo space, much better performance, good enough interior.
  5. I'm interested to see how the XT4 AWD system stacks up to a competitor's like the RDX SH-AWD.
  6. And planned 2.0t and 2.2 turbo diesel engine options to boot... Its cousin the 2019 Sorrento is pretty nice from what I've read and watched too.
  7. I can only assume this is optimized for front passenger comfort as the specified max cargo capacity with rear seats down is less than compacts like the CRV and RAV4.
  8. Volvo has it going on. Not a big fan of their infotainment based on my colleague's XC90, but the simple handsome lines in and out do it for me and this might be their best yet of late. I like that red paint on it too.
  9. Worst part of a colonoscopy is the prep...
  10. What if China charges a licensing fee to sell cars in China, which is a much bigger car market than USA... The auto market and GM sell more vehicles in China than USA..
  11. Good luck with this, since so many of the parts are internationally manufactured and cross between the US and its trade partners multiple times before final assembly.
  12. This could be a beautiful building, seems to be in really rough shape though. It is going to take a tonne of money and effort to refurbish and make it energy efficient.
  13. No help here, I don't know Mandarin, cannot read simplified or traditional.
  14. I have seasonal spring allergies too, worse the last 5 years after we moved to our area with all the 50 foot+ mature trees in our yards. I can get away with taking the pills for about 3 weeks when the oak pollen is all over in clumps and the cars are dusted with pollen daily in the neighbourhood. Our 4 year old son has them too, his eyes swell up bad if he rubs them a bit:(.
  15. I really don't get the add on feature, it ties you to a phone/brand, is another thing to carry with you (like carrying a phone and a P&S camera), and the sensor is still tiny. The reviews of the Hasselblad add on are not great. Maybe if the phone had a current flagship level sensor and better image processing like that of the Pixel 2 the zoom would be a great feature. The P20 Pro seems to do a pretty good job at 3x zoom. https://www.dpreview.com/articles/7284790355/huawei-p20-pro-hands-on
  16. I have to wonder how long this will go on. The counter tariffs are all targeting swing states and his base, no amount of lying on twitter will change that. I doubt the antiquated, idled aluminum mfg plants are going to prosper and be heavily modernized and ramped up all of the sudden in the name of "national security"/.
  17. Nice set of photos, different from the usual skyline or "mass of people walking in dense modern urban environment" pictures you usually see of large Asian cities. I really enjoyed my HK visit when we went 20 years+ ago, will definitely go again someday, hopefully for a month after retirement (would like to do the same in Tokyo).
  18. I'm hoping Project Treble on Android makes things better in the long run.. Already on XDA there are developers releasing single Treble code bases for multiple Android devices. https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/lineage-phh-treble-t3767690
  19. Still on a Note 5, wife is on an S8 I bought for $375 outright. Might upgrade by the end of the year, hoping Pixel 3 hardware will be worthwhile and a deal comes along with my carrier. I would only switch to Apple if a car we buy only has Car play.
  20. You might as well get a replacement battery installed for $29.. https://www.macworld.com/article/3245168/consumer-electronics/iphone-29-battery-replacement-faq.html
  21. I would love a 300s either if my commute was shorter, the deals on used ones are nice.. it currently costs me $10 per commute in gas for a TSX so I'd imagine I'd be... not happy. My partner would definitely not be happy if I showed up with a full size car for her to drive, even if just occasionally. If we absolutely need to buy a car in a year to be our one and only vehicle, it is probably is going to end up being a Sportwagen/Alltrack 4Motion or hybrid RAV4 unless the GM Voltec powertrain makes it into something we like. Not worth continually paying $150 extra a month in insurance for a second car when our total mileage annually is around 12,000 miles.
  22. I prefer the 300 as well, and the S trim looks sporty enough IMO. My brother still has his first gen 300 SRT.
  23. Seems like Chrysler is exiting stage left now anyways...
