I am glad you bought one of those. The V6 I test drove was slow a shit. It is too bad they are hesitant to stick that engine in a smaller vehicle :-(

Try as they might, Hyundai owners never could locate horsepower.

It isn’t beautiful, but it is just a damned cell phone. Cell phones aren’t “status” items that would require beauty. It’d be nice to have, but meh.

I’d say they have gone from “cool” to “neat”. That properly conveys the downward level of trendiness but retains a small bit of it.

Looooool. Nope.

Those non-sex offenders were much more likely to re-offend overall than the sex offenders. The authors interpretation is much closer to what a general reader would come to than your pedantic interpretation.

Sex offenders have a lower overall recidivism rate. There is a paragraph on this (in general) in this very article. So much for your fact.

They aren’t talking about letting cities burn. They are talking about controlled burns to limit the size of future fires.

I agree with you. People aren’t being told to do that though, and are sometimes wondering why the TURBO itself isn’t giving them those sweet MPGs.

If not “real world” lets try for “realer world”. The manufacturers are basically hypermiling their way through canned tests. Jokers, the lot of them.

I know the turbo engines are fine. I am just making light of the average consumer being deluded and thinking they have power and efficiency at the same exact time. They aren’t. Lead foots will do better NA.

Time to invest in an ABS.

The cars that do the best at this test are the ones that skirt off to the side. Anyone know what kind of surface they are testing on? The test area looks to have a lower friction surface than asphalt. Combine a smooth floor surface with some of those shit low rolling resistance OEM tires and some cars may not be…

14.5 MPG combined in my G8 , 42 miles a day. Could not care less!

People don’t pay attention to rote routines. It is one of the things that allows us to actually get shit done. Every car with a key that I have had has a “key in ignition” door chime. I am quite sure that isn’t there for fun. To not have the equivalent for push to start is stupid.

I can’t believe anyone would say anything different. Prius, Volt? CHILDS PLAY.

Didn’t follow the inspection guidelines and let the thing out with a sticker? Totally liable in this instance. Manslaughter? Maybe. Loss of inspection license and denial of his business license renewal by the state? Absolutely.
