I was comparing 12-16 year old F-150s to similar year Rangers and the prices were pretty much the same. Go figure because you are arguably getting more truck for the same money.
I wish they would make a regular cab Maverick with at least a 6 foot bed. I might be a buyer.

On second thought, change that upper limit from 3 years to infinity.

I recently drove BMW iX. AMA…

I can't get past the looks, personally.
2020 Ascent Limited, 2024 Subaru Legacy Sport
The good: It drives well, has great ride quality, and is super quiet. Nice seats. Interior is very nice. And you're getting a car that can do 3 miles/kWh and has a 105 kWh battery, so it's a box that gets a legit 300 mile range.
The bad: iDrive 8 is bonkers complicated. The cargo space given the footprint is disappointing. Long hood has no frunk.
The ugly: well, duh. Although I think it looks good from the back.
The indifferent: Mostly priced in the 90s. It's a lot, but should be about right given the battery size and positioning. It's cheaper than a Model X. Problem is that it's a lot smaller inside than a X. It's nearly X footprint with Y interior space.
Anyhow, there's a year wait on new orders, so someone must be buying them.

More info about the 2018 BMW X3 M40i that my Son got last week from a Benz dealer (Swickard) just outside Portland Oregon:
Finally got to see it in daylight yesterday. Nice blue color (forgot again to ask the official name) but it looks good. I could have driven it but I settled for a ride with him driving it. Yes, it is quick very quick. Seemed to easily top a fairly steep hill near me at 80 plus MPH before he backed off.
The exhaust had a nice tone to it which his youngest son, now with a permit, likes quite a bit. The straight 6 allowed for easy plug removal even for the back plug closest to the firewall. I saw the thin wall spark plug socket he had to buy and not only is it thin wall but it’s an E torx socket. So, no getting the plugs out without that dodad.
In addition to the oil/filter and plug change, he did a front and rear brake pad change including brake sensors which cost him just under 150 bucks all in for BMW grade parts. He said it was more involved than other disc brake jobs he’s done but well worth the savings compared to going to a dealer. Might have even saved a hundred bucks doing it himself.
It turned out the salesman was very cooperative about getting the car to the BMW indy shop by taking it to him for the PPI himself since the indy shop only had 2 other techs besides himself and couldn’t spend too much time going to get it then taking it back to the dealer after the inspection. The salesman only lived a couple miles away from the indy shop so he took the car home the night before the indy shop was going to work on it then had someone at the dealership pick him up there and take him to the dealership for work. Then got a ride to the Indy shop after the PPI so he could take the car back to the dealership and get it ready for the sale. I don’t think too many dealerships would do that much schlepping without charging for it.
FWIW, the salesman said the indy shop was known for doing good work and was surprised he could squeeze the car in for the PPI that quick.

Still puts that sh-t eating grin on my face whenever I see it! Thus the reason it's still in our garage!

2015 Subaru Outback 3.6R / 2014 MINI Countryman S ALL4
it was a full 4 door. most around are, but they do make a cab and a half with a longer bed (both are the same length, just swapping 1-1.5' of cab for bed length). Definitely drove like a truck, not my Maverick which drives like a car/crossover.
there is a kingcab that lives next town from me that I pass when I go to Aldis. So I know some exist!
much, much bigger than my 1991 Nissan king cab!

As for IDrive 8, not only is it a step backwards in overall usability, but Munich has also moved several physical buttons and switches to the touchscreen. Yet another reason I have absolutely no regrets about picking the C43 over the M340i and the M240i.

I assume Sandy was driving the latest model that came out for MY 2022. Could I suppose have been a prior version which went back to somewhere in the stone age (2005ish?) That came with the big 4 option.

Of course, on the used market, that price might be correct.

"BMW is just another car company cranking out SUVs and crossovers because, well, that’s what it is now and that’s what this business has become. Fold-in the brand’s constantly increasing prices, and you have a giant Wiener schnitzel of Not Good. Do any of these parameters change with BMW’s aggressive push into electrification? No, because all of the aforementioned negatives are not only present and accounted for when electrified, they’re exacerbated. BMW’s brand image is boneless, lost in a choking haze of profitability over integrity, and there’s no point wishing that somehow this will change."

I’ve been keeping a casual eye on the used market of the iX. I suspect it will be a vehicle that some buyers are excited to get as the newest BMW, but if it’s their first EV, they may find themselves retreating back to a good old X5 or X7. Small sample, but nationwide, there are plenty of used iX’s in the $80k’s and even one that broke into the $70k’s. The used market seems to be normalizing again, where high-end luxury vehicles take the biggest hits.
The R1S is probably more than I want as my daily EV. The Polestar 3 is likely the sweet spot…better styling than the BMW but still with a wagon-like profile.
Or…I may still go the Ioniq 5 route.

True for many (most) businesses now, unfortunately. I still don't subscribe to the Greed is Good following. Almost everything that has gone wrong, over time, can be traced back to greed.

But several manufacturers fall into this category. Nissan lost their mojo like a decade ago, or maybe it was a couple of decades ago, I have lost track. Toyota? Ha! Remember when the Supra, MR2, body-on-frame compact trucks, Celica, and even Corolla turbo all graced their lineup around the same time? Those were the days. Sigh.

"The M550i was an excellent opportunity to create a wingman to the M5, a driver-focused lesser model in the spirit of the Mercedes-AMG E43. The M550i isn’t that. It’s a very fast 5-series with an M badge rather than something that BMW’s longer-serving fans would recognize as a real M car."

Like @roadburner, my appreciation for the Mercedes brand has grown quickly over my ownership thus far of the E450 wagon. I'll still want an electric as my daily, but it's gonna be challenging to replace the comfort the Mercedes offers. Even through several Volvos and the upgraded seat option in my X5, these seats in the E450 are the most comfortable of them all.

Does anyone think the hood and between the grilles stripe package looks good?
Not too sure about the looks but I’ve heard it makes it go fast.
