Actually, pretty sure all Toyota has to do is show them what Texas cost of living looks like when compared to SoCal's bills. They'll save enough in taxes alone that they can *vacation* in California when the urge strikes them.

All I can say to the Toyota employees who decide to stay behind: Good luck finding work.

Dear Scion/Toyota:

Chris Harris, Jalopnik writer.

Also curious about the issues you're having with your Dart (fellow 2013 1.4T owner here). I have been in the shop 3 times, but never for engine issues, and never for more than a day per issue beyond the DDCT recall (parts availability issue, the actual repair took less than a day).

My Abarth has had intermediate steering shaft replaced and an external body panel issue (3x now, same panel) in its first 3,000 miles.

I like the car, but it seems like every repair takes a week which is a little annoying. Also annoying is the trade-in value if you want to unload it…ugh. I wasn't expecting to make…

I have a Ram 1500 and 500 Abarth. They are actually the two best vehicles I've owned with neither having any issue whatsoever. Knock on wood.

You've lost another submarine?

Marketing will not make the V6 Camry a performance car.

Have you read the claims being made?

So unlike the Southern US special, this post stoning flee was real!

Not to self: Argentinians can't take a joke

a boner for VAG. seems reasonable

I have a big VW group Boner right now.

Mary Barra says that having brands that create "customers for life" and "significant value for shareholders." Those plans include having 11 platforms that account for 99 percent of sales (currently GM has 14 platforms that account for 75 percent), improve ties with suppliers, improve brand image, new products, and…

If GM wants to be a valued company, they should stop acting worthless.

That is frustrating; the GC EcoDiesel is prohibitively expensive.

Don't let a dealer tell you what your trade-in is worth, know what it's worth going in and negotiate accordingly. Often times Carmax will offer more than a typical dealer for a trade, so start shopping there.
