Sent from my SM-S901W using TapatalkI'm seeing a few late-model Mustangs on snow tires around here, oddly enough all convertibles. More funny: about 80% of Wranglers appear to be stored for winter Can see it though. In the city with patchy snow and ice old school 4WD is a bit of a pain. Leave it in 4Hi and you can't go around a dry corner, leave it in 2WD and spin like a Mustang at an icy intersectionI also know people who buy Wranglers to be their "winter vehicle" and they store a nice car, often AWD, for the winter. Doesn't make a ton of sense to me.A lot of people here treat Wranglers as summer convertibles. Always with doors/roof off, always impeccably clean, and most of them 4xe's.

Leave it in 4Hi and you can't go around a dry corner, leave it in 2WD and spin like a Mustang at an icy intersectionJeeps nowadays have a 4Hi Auto setting and that can be used when road conditions are patchy. As far as I know Toyota still does not provide a 4Hi Auto setting on their traditional body on frame Sequoia and Tundra. The Landcruiser and Lexus LX and new GX have full time 4WD. But these 4Hi Auto settings use a clutch pack and indiscriminate use of the setting can cause premature failure of the clutch pack something I am mindful of in my Yukon.
Two odd sightings 6 or 7 cars apart near my office buiding downtown: an Euro VW passenger van, with a fake German plate up front (generation that followed our Eurovan, maybe?) and a Vinfast SUV, apparently still running.
Spotted my very first Civic Si yesterday. Had never seen one since they came out, and I'm smack in the GMA. Very telling of how unpopular the sedan+manual combination is. I actually see very few Civics, period. Priced too high and not an SUV. Starting to think volume is really down at Honda stores due to increased prices.
A pink Lamborghini Urus, driven by exactly the kind of woman you are thinking would drive a pink Lambo suv. I thought the Urus looked horrible in regular colours, in pink, crikey its terrible.

Starting to think volume is really down at Honda stores due to increased prices.I was one of the few that bought one. At the time ,last June none on lots here.At present my local dealer still has very few on the lot. Maybe availability is a problem.Acres of CRV's though.
I saw a first gen Acura ZDX at lunch today. The timing on this one missed the mark, likely would have been more successful in this market. It looks almost normal now with all the other hunchbacks out there, a bit dated obviously.
