This thread is beautiful.  It has it all.

IDK bro, making financially prudent decisions is usually the beginning of one's downfall. I think he's on to something. If you needed a couple of dollars you shoulda hollered. Bank of CarSPIN can get you a good rate.

Hmmm, cash out refi on the M3?  Hadn't thought of that, but might give me the breathing room I apparently "need".

Like I said our rates are awesome. Thanks to dazzleman we basically have a direct line to the Fed. And in any case there's no price you can put on a child's admiration... please don't let r0tor down.

New contender. Vulva XC40?

http://jalopnik.com/2018-volvo-xc40-this-is-it-1814437434


I'm guessing it's too small?

I like the XC60 and XC90 and some of volvos wagons as well. She's not a Volvo fan though, and from value perspective like the other premium brands, it's gonna be more than the Honda and not sure I have any interest in paying up for the brand.

As this is a distressed situation, I would expect that to be reflected in the rate.

Maybe Rotor would be willing to underwrite it, if I default he can take possession of the car and his kids will start liking him?

Saw a new XC60 exhibited this morning at the airport. Gorgeous.
He just said that he's too cheap to pay for a Volvo, so I guess it's out.

The XC60 is small, but the CRV is large... But the XC60 is physically larger than the CRV

Interior wise, the XC60 is tighter inside than the CR-V.

Lebowski

I haven't looked closely at the interior of a XC60, so can't really say.  From the exterior pics alone can tell that XC40 is pretty small.  CRV has plenty of space, but as Rotor has already informed us less space than a 3-series trunk.  I think for us to have enough space we're gonna end up having to take Rotor's original advice of keeping the M3 and replacing the 4Runner with the much larger X1.  Thank you Rotor for clearing up that space warp.

On the outside, yes the XC60 is bigger

On the inside, the only dimension the XC60 beats the CR-V is hip room. Problem with that is it beats it there by 2", while being 7" wider outside. CR-V even has more shoulder room front and back, and more cargo room.

Edmunds data

So now you get to explain to us what the benefits are of a car that is bigger outside and smaller inside for someone who stated that interior space is a priority. After that you can explain why it makes sense to pay what will probably be about 2x as much for an equally equipped car from a brand Lebowski doesn't even like.

The XC40 is an X1 competitor. It's a subcompact luxury crossover.

So by Rotorlogic that makes the XC40 larger than an XC60 which is larger than a CRV which is smaller than a ford focus which is larger than a jeep grand Cherokee?

You forgot front legroom... Hip room and legroom are usually important when seating people
