So I went to the DC auto the first time since probably 2016 with tk parentals. Saw a few cars that comes to our local cars and coffee. I pretty much :nope: on checking on cars that are already in the market for a few years and :aintcare: about.

New Camaro, :fuckyeah: and :nope: even seating at a lowest position I can practically feel my hair on the headliner and one turnoff that I always had with them before... Claustrophobic visibility. Exterior have grown on me :doe:

Love the silverado :truk: doe, the proportions are just perfect. One trim was the alaskan edition, which is essentially :poverty: no radio/volume controls on steering, cloth bench seats that I'm always been a sucker of. That alone makes me want one. :wub:

Still kinda lusting over the chally's and wrangler/gladiators

Momma Teo sat in the Volvo XC40 and it's most likely her next car, also loves the GLC, but told her :nope: especially after max's review of it. Hoping I can :derp: in it from time to time lol

Lexus's have stepped up their game interior wise, outside of their drivability and to an extent some of their exteriors, don't really dislike them that much. Loved the LS and GS the most.

Did a walkthrough of the new LR Defender, and it looks so damn nice, and I believe a diesel version is coming too.

For Honda's, got in their type R's and Si's and I gotta say, they're quite :nice: along with the accord in tan leather, reminds me of my TSX, and momma instantly agreed with me on that. Passport has a nice leather interior too. Mom was :disgust: with the pilot in cloth seats. She's always been a fan of leather seats. Heck her last cloth seated car was her corolla in Turkey.

Sat in the new miata and from what I remember, zilhuge's :meata: was actually more roomier. I concluded that I will not get an ND, cause DFD linebacker size. Mom laughed at me and told me it's for tiny azn's. Sat in the new 3 hatch, definitely has less headroom than my :plaid: , :notsure: if I want juan.

Veloster N is more roomy than the mazda 3 surprisingly, especially in the headroom, but other than that interior space wise, it was meh in the backseats. Sat in the new sonata, hate the front end, rear end is :notbad: , has the key fob back up feature which is :mindblown: great dash layout, but leather was meh, mom got in, it only took her 3 seconds and told me she hates the fake leather :lolol: hyundai's has steeped up with the cloth seat interior and feels better than nissans as I've been in numerous ubers.

Infiniti's are very much meh, almost no different than nissans. Some :mahtroy: suga mama was using the q60's gps to find her place :wtf:

That's about it for now. Pics below
What else what else, no german :waxer: mobiles were shown :sad:

Forgot about VW, not much to write about as I experienced enough. I like the arteon as the trunk opens like a sedan hatch, just like the hatchbacky sedans that I grew up with in Turkey. The GLI is about as nice as my car. Has more headroom than a previous jetta. One cool thing doe is the Atlas crosssport which is quite cool, pretty much like the poverty Audi q8

Enjoyable post, Teo. I want to go to the auto show this year. $20 and you can check out every car and not get hassled is pretty ideal.

Defender looks :notbad:
Could be a good lease candidate to possibly avoid plummeting resale value.

It’s probably $799 a month for a base with 8k down not like the manufacturer can’t :math:

That Defender 110 is how the JGC should look.

You can get that thing with steel 3rd world country wheels from the factory :mindblown:

Yea i just built one. It is the only "free" wheel choice. I dig it... So without options this thing licks 53k basically .... the loaded versions are 90k... and it seems like it seats up to 7... which is odd.... It must be porky... Which I don't really like, I feel like vehicles should be limited to 5 inhabitants otherwise they get into bus sizes.

I took pics cause they're new, cool and rare for now, unlike the majority of the cars that were exhibited. Especially the escape is essentially a lifted focus now exterior wise :disgust: ford has :disappoint: me.

And nah my next car is another racekor

Well, I just meant Ford Collar.

The Bronco in full off-road trim will definitely be a $60k+ truck.
Yea... I am now :disgust: with myself for passing on several FJs. I am thinking the market will soon enough be "flooded" with jeep like vehicles considering how many :jeep: 's are being sold... but it certainly doesn't look like it from a 2nd hand perspective. The market is super under-represented as no one bought SUVs from 2008>2014
