The pricing should be clear from the manufacturer. The rebate comes off after all taxes. The dealer does it automatically, nothing for you to apply for or whatever, I think you just sign a form indicating you're buying the car.

its a hyundai Electric vehicle at $45,000. Than there is a banner that says it qualifies for the rebates and leads you to the governement site which says the dealer gets the rebate not the consumer. SWo the $45,000 vehicle will be $37,500? thats doable. without the rebate it would be $176 or so per week all taxes fees etc in that price financing. Although there is a recall problem with the batterys ongoing right now.

In general, cars with that high of a centre of gravity are banned from most motorsports.

She is a nice looking SUV, but I could not agree more with this statement.

That said, kinda sad that it could beat my S2000 off of the line.

I'm not a big fan of SUV's. I'd have way more fun with a S2000 and confidence with the handling. Although, for long road trips the new SUV's are very comfortable, smooth, and nice to drive I have to say.

I should note that my comment is about the industry, not this particular model.

Any AMG Merc.
Ford Edge ST
Jags
etc.

But I understand it from a marketing perspective; it is akin to the Camry being so aggressive looking.

They have a Polestar on display at Park Royal, was attracting some attention. Overall it was a pretty boring looking car.

For exterior color we chose Donnigton Gray which is a classic M color.

I just love the styling of the 21" wheels that come with the Competition package. It's a somewhat harsh ride with these, but what can you expect from a M car?

We ordered our car with the top of the line Competition package which produces 510 PS. Sound of the engine and the sports exhaust is just divine and performance is just ridiculous.

I am really happy with the beautiful two-tone interior that is both comfortable and looks really sharp!

Naturally, we wanted to have all the latest technology that the iDrive 7 in the model year 2021 provides.

The space-age key is mostly a showpiece but the remote functions are also rather practical.

Nice ride Klaus!

Just wondering but how does it compare to your old E90 M3 especially since all the new cars have electromechanical steering instead of hydraulically assisted steering.

I feel that all the newer vehicles with electric steering lack the steering weight and feel compared to that of the older gen cars

Thanks! I have really been enjoying the ride this past 6 months, although with remote work I have only managed to rack up 4,100 kilometres on the odometer so far.

I went through a 4K dashcam installation at Black Box My Car in Richmond and also had nice-looking winter wheels under the car. I only managed to get one snow day out of them as we skipped the entire ski season this winter.

I've tried to buy a bike for 2 Springs in a row now, and I couldn't get what I wanted because there simply is nothing available that I like. I've been trying to get an Opus Classico Lightweight. No dice.

SOLD OUT UNTIL 2023

I owned a Lexus SUV before. I spent 2 seconds coming up with username.

Anybody got any insight into when used car prices are going to drop? Looking at getting 2020 or 21 BMW 4 series coupe. They are around 50 k right now, but hoping to see prices on vehicles start to drop as production ramps back up again.

Was considering an Acura TLX because they aren't as prone to breaking down when the milage gets high, but the BMW is such a nice looking car.
