AND it has a 6.4L Hemi. Everything else in the segment is irrelevant IMO.
This would be great in Texas, 12 mpg ?

gas is $2 a gallon. On the coasts this thing would suck balls. It’s literally $120 to fill up out here.
$400 a month for the payment shoppers is quite a burden. Which is why I suppose you never see these around here.
It's this or you give up entirely. I guess the later is the choice for most.

I mean you can spend $50k on a Durango and pretend like

or you can just get a 8k minivan and a used bmw for 20k and still have all the “capability” and fun for 1/2 price

2 vehicles is a PITA. 2x the insurance 2x the reg 2x the maintenance (especially on an $8k minivan that's been puked in and colored on more times than it has miles), I don't see how that's a great solution, personally.

I don't see how my current BMW wouldn't be a perfectly acceptable dad car that isn't miserable.

You can clean it because let’s face it your crotchfruit will puke piss and shit in it also. They are designed with that in mind. A used sienna for 8k will be reliable for 5-7 years and dirt cheap to insure, at that point you just set it on fire because it served its purpose compared to a new Durango it seems like a better option.

You’d rather have a car you care about be destroyed by creatures that throw up at random and have no concept that shitting yourself in public is not ok?

No, I'd rather kill myself than deal with creatures destroying my possessions and sanity.

It won't really have a tangible impact on anything for YEARS, if ever for the US market. So it's a bit

overall IMO.

Clearly if even the dude who works there is
I think the time is now to buy cool cars, there is a lot of sweet shit for sale today, it will likely slowly taper off going forward.

208 was nice to drive in France, too bad it'll never come here.
