What will your next car be?

If someone totaled my Yaris tomorrow, I'd see how long I could manage with just my bicycle. I went a whole year one time without ever taking the car to work. Grocery runs would be hard, though.

If I dissect the cars that way, I can actually see what you're saying, but looking at it holistically, I think it all works very well together. One line lays off where another picks up - and that front end looks nice and aggressive. Have a look at this Instagram account...

If I were to get one, it would look something like that, minus the camber. I think it's super class. My ultimate choice would be the Focus RS, but the +$40k price tag puts it right on the fence of unreasonable given the other cars you can get in that price range.

You make me think about how working remotely from home, I truly don't need a car. I'm in a perfect position to sell my car for a few extra thousand in the bank, reduce my carbon footprint, get more exercise riding a bike for short errands, etc., but I just couldn't go without a car. I love cars and enjoy driving, so I'd want one regardless lol.

One of the things I love about Top Gear / The Grand Tour is how good of a job they've done of illustrating the special relationship a person has with their car. It could be the biggest jalopy beater, but if you drive it for a while, for most, it grows on you.
