We are looking for another vehicle right now, actually. Funny that this thread popped up - I was literally thinking about making something similar.
Perfect timing.

You...may want to check your numbers. This is 2021. Indeed nearly everything new is ugly but at this point every car company has made something fast...and Ford (the only company to have made a muscle car non stop since the 60s) has for sure made some slow Mustangs. Like...all of them from the mid 70s through the early 90s. I had a girlfriend with an ‘86 that was slower than my VW GTI of the same year thanks to the terrible automatic transmission and badly tuned Pinto engine. Several of the “slow” OEMs you listed have cars with sub 3 second 0-60 times and Mercedes...slow? They currently sell multiple cars that are electronically limited to 155mph and even their SUVs handle better than most cars made before 1990.
Always had a soft spot for BMW
Since Tesla came in, and most of the old BMW crowd has shifted to teslas, it became clear that there was nothing about BMWs outside perceived money status that drew in customers.
When I get rid of the Highlander (which probably won’t be for some time as I like it as well) i’ll probably look to get a 4Runner.
Perfect timing.What are you guys looking for or considering, Ajax?
With 4Runners come the desire to mod. You’ll install a lift kit, skid plate, pipe bumpers, and start thinking about the apocalypse and whether your truck is prepared.
nissan cvt is garbage , so many problemsI used to like Nissans but never again.
Had good experiences with Toyota. I think our next 2 cars will probably be Toyota’s. My wife currently has a Highlander now which i’ll probably take as she really wants a Sienna soon. I’m not crazy about them but I guess that’s the thing to do with 3 small kids.

Oh, and fuck Nissan.
True, I need to fully prepared for the 2 mile trek to the train station every day
I like the TRD Pro version. I feel it’s overpriced for what it is given it felt sluggish and some parts felt cheap...but it was fun to drive. I’m short so it helps me fulfill my Napoleon complex.
What BMW puts out now is a far cry from "The Ultimate Driving Machine". They've lost their way as a company and now other brands are in for the kill, like Tesla as you mentioned.
For sure, a vehicle should suit your needs and if a truck does the job then it does the job. Any particular reasons you settled on the Titan over other options?So, don’t crucify me, but we’re looking for a truck. We’re not truck people, but the utility of a truck will suit our lifestyle well. This was the first time in my life that I’ve considered a US brand, and we were looking at a Ram 1500. It seems to be the darling of the truck world. But, I think we’ve decided on a Nissan Titan. Just kinda looking for the best deal on a new one right now.
What's the hubbub with Nissan? I had a Maxima and it fucking sucked. But my dad got one in 2013 maybe and it's good - super fast and hasn't had any issues.
The drivers are the problem. There’s a universal mentality for people who drive those cars that involves driving slow, and getting in anyone’s way.
Oh man. Mitsubishi. I know it had a rep as a lady car but I loved the Eclipse. But they did away with that for a long time and then brought it back. The new one was cool but too wannabe flashy. I dunno if they even make it anymore. Just feels like a midrange sports car is a thing of the past.
