What Car Should I Buy? - A Weekly Megathread
Any posts pertaining to car buying suggestions or advice belong in this weekly megathread; do not post car-choosing questions in the main queue. A fresh thread will be posted every Monday and posts auto sorted by new. A few other subreddits worth checking out that will help your car buying experience are /r/WhatCarShouldIBuy, /r/UsedCars and /r/AskCarSales. www.everydaydriver.com may also be helpful.
Make/Model-specific questions should be asked on Make/Model-specific subreddits. Check the AutosNetwork for a complete list of those subreddits. Also check out our community-sourced Ultimate car buying wiki.

Additional Notes:
For those providing suggestions: Facts are ideal in this thread, especially when trying to help out a new car buyer. Please help out buyers with sources and reasoning for your suggestions.
For those asking for help, be sure to thank those who take the time to offer you advice (especially those who lead you to a purchase.) A follow up thank you and the knowledge that their advice led to a purchase is a very warm fuzzy feeling.

Reuters: Automakers urge Congress to quickly pass law banning Chinese cars
A group representing major automakers on Thursday urged Congress to pass legislation barring Chinese vehicles from the U.S. market before the end of the year.
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Honda, Stellantis and other major automakers, called for quick action.
video Throttle House Easter Egg in The Grand Tour
Just a funny easter egg I noticed. James' helmet in The Grand Tour says "My name in Japanese", obviously referencing his AE86 saying "something in Japanese" across the side.

How are people with regular cars able to afford the driving tours? Upwards of $15K-$20k!
The driving tours in the US hosted by Matt Farah and I forgot which magazine (Road & Track, Car and Driver, Motortrend). Had a tour in Sonoma/Napa/Norcal driving. The tour included a track day (or 2) at Sonoma Raceway. It also included like two night stay at two different hotels, and all meals.... My question is who was able to afford a tour that was insanely expensive?
A track day at Sonoma is typically $400-$800. Hotel stay, even at a nice place can reach up to $800. Meals, maybe $100/meal. I'm curious how it ballooned to $15,000 for a single person?
I really wanted to check this out and drive my Viper, but after seeing the price, I'd rather ship the car to Europe, drive the autobahn and hit up Spa/Nurbugring. It would be around the same price. I'm not kidding. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1939836749567520/posts/3990459201171921/

video Two Ford Fathoms, a Maverick, and a Mach E back to back
https://youtu.be/_ctE0F-mRAg?si=MjgeJang8s2yRXaR
Saw these in Michigan yesterday, pretty good size comparison for the Ford Fathom. Excited for them to reveal more information! I think they got the size right for efficiency and cost, it looks like it may be a bit taller than a maverick probably for the competitive interior space they were talking about.
