If truck, I say GMC with the new 3.0 diesel.

It does.

It's not domestic.


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Toyota Tacoma.

(It's probably not a truck at all, though - something german - that VW electric car thing - although one would think if somebody had guessed the correct answer, Bob would stop stringing us along...)

Didn’t Bob write in another thread an EV will be his next car

Seem to remember that too. Thought it was the VW ID.4

That would be cool to see



I second.

We haven't even announced pricing for Canada yet  :rofl2:

I'm hoping it's a 2021 GTI - insanely good value for the final year.

Fair, but didn't he already have a Mk7? I don't see the benefit in just going from one Mk7 to another...

I gotta say, this is the worst "guess the new car" thread we've had on here in a while.  ZERO hints from Bob, other than 'it's not Domestic', and absolutely no other feedback on other people's guesses.   :'(

Come on, Bob, you're better than this  :)

Waved goodbye to the golf, loved that car! Who can guess what the new vehicle is?

 ;D

I heard somewhere that this has just come out.  Were you aware?

I'm waiting to get a couple of decent pics.

It's not a VW, still got Tigger, the ID4 will replace that.

And yes, I'm not going to post reams of bizarre poetry, that can f*ck right off!  :rofl2:

I certainly wouldn't replace a Golf with another Golf, that would be weird.

It's not a super sedan, or a 911, but it is used... 2016.
