Three tonnes! Don't you need an HGV licence to drive that?

Seeing this is a good reminder of how - IMHO - BMW has really lost its way designing. Simple and clean has been replaced by complicated and confusing, and of course bloated.

Vs.



The Ineos literally just got off of the Truck and they let me do a semi extended test drive never got washed.

so now I need to decide which I want to keep.

both are great. The Rivians amazing but no drama. The Ineos is all drama. ICE vs Electric..

The Riv is arguable better in every category but soulless even though it does 0-60 in 3 seconds and cleared the Rubicon trail with no issues.

both exceptional and a true first world problem.

One looks like the bus that takes you to the rocket and the other looks like the rocket.

But what's it like for the people who don't get to drive and have to sit in the back seat? Would they have a preference different than the driver's?

Hopefully sleeping on it will help.

Yes, it's got his nameplate but the actual provenance was unclear.

The Subaru though was the 1998 Tour de Corse and Acropolis winner which was really cool
