Leatherette was an upgrade over cloth? Eeesssh.

The bigger question is "What kind of crapy engine is he putting in that thing?"

Blame the cupholder. Folks wanted them and the only place to put them is in the center. You can't put 'em in the doors. You can't put them on the dashboard. So when you put them in the center console, they still spill contents onto switches. So the switches have to go. And why? Because we Americans absolutely must…

While I appreciate the difficult position of using "Ford Blue" for a dress, I think the style of these dresses don't do much for the models. I hope these ladies got extra pay.

Actually, the question should be, "Why aren't more Fisker Karma drivers wrapping their cars in camouflage like this guy?"

Really, if I'd just tied up six-figures in a car that is now fundamentally worth nothing, I'd want to hide it while I could still use it and extract some value from my now worthless investment.…

Who cares? Just being able to get in and out of basic cars like a Focus and comparing it with a Golf or Hyundai is fun. Seeing the showstoppers is okay, but it's scripted. Seeing the production products and comparing stuff on my own is where the fun is.

Fred on "Scooby Doo" is trading in the Mystery Machine for a Model S.

Totally nice. The interior is all original. Try finding upholstery that matches that exactly. You can't. Many parts have gone "unobtainium." I remember when these were new and dealers couldn't keep them in stock and sold them with $200 door edge guards. That's usually an early indicator of future collectibility. The…

I've been fortunate to drive an assortment of very nice cars to very nice places. I've also been fortunate to own some nice motorcycles as well. But frankly, the vehicle that has brought more smiles and broken the ice with more attractive women is not a Porsche, or Corvette, or Mercedes-Benz, or a BMW motorcycle, but…

I got news for 'ya kid. Although Opel was located in Germany, it was still owned by GM. Meanwhile, Ford's division in Cologne was still owned by Ford. Do a little digging into the Jewish slave labor stories and you won't drive a Ford. And while your at it, how do you think German got enough steel to make subs, tanks,…

Every time I get behind the wheel in Essex County, New Jersey, I'm reasonably certain it's going to be my last. These people drive like they got their licenses out of a condom machine in a smelly pisshole at a Jersey City truckstop infested with crack whores. I've driven and motorcycled in 47 states and two provinces.…

For what it's worth, "Corinth" is a province in Greece. It is known for olives, and that's about it. 

"Corinithian" leather is a process of tanning where the end-product is a form of leather used in bookbinding. So in that regards, is sort of like getting a Brazilian...

This "Milford" place ... is that where MILFs cross the river? 

No, what I'm saying is that it's entirely likely that he's been doing his reporting incorrectly for the last 16 years and this is what finally gets him caught. When reporting on politics, it's "he said she said." When reporting on something that puts out data logs, it's a little more difficult to make an argument. But…

Being a 16-year-veteran of the newspaper business only means that you're a dinosaur of a vanishing breed. My favorite quote in Broder's rebuttal is this..." alternately slow down and speed up to take advantage of regenerative braking) that was later contradicted by other Tesla personnel. "

Obviously, Broder missed the…

Of course Mr. Musk offered the NYTimes another crack at the car in a couple of months. It'll be warm then and the batteries will work just fine! 

Rear end reminds me of the Saturn Sky/Opel whatever it was.

GM should do what championship college football teams do ... have a wealthy alumnus spring for the private jet. In this case, a wealthy shareholder, and that would be, uh... Uncle Sam! Oh, never mind....

The interior and front really match. The interior is ghastly, but hey, since I'm not even remotely close to being a buyer of one of these, it really doesn't matter one iota. The sad part of this, to me, is knowing that they designed this thing to sell...Sell...SELLL! And that's what it looks like. It's an indictment…

I got no problems with it. It looks difference enough from the current E-Class that the fashionistas who prop up high-end German car sales will want one, which means better deals for the slightly used current body style. So I say 'bring it!'
