I’ve had my FocusRS for just over 3 years now. My dealer has called me twice in the past week to see if I want to trade it in. I told them that they don’t have anything I’m interested in, they tried to get me to discuss a Mustang, told them I need AWD and room to carry stuff. I also told them that odds are I won’t be…

THIS.  Exactly.  

Eh the bigger issue isn’t even just that ford and GM abandoned cars but that they never made good ones in the first place. Their complete incompetence has ensured that not only am I not driving a vehicle of theirs, i likely never will again. Ford mustang, idc how good it its, their focus was a pile so NOPE. Pickup…

And they’re slower than their lower slung car relatives. They get better mileage because they have less power. You can’t make a car with a bigger frontal area get better mileage without compromising somewhere. CUVs are a bad deal and people don’t know it because they don’t know how physics work.

Just like buying an iPhone — half the monthly payment will be equipment, half will be service.

“ It is bad that customers are switching to other brands in the short run, bad that they won’t have many affordable nameplates should the economic winds change, bad that they’re driving away brand-loyal customers who likely care about fuel efficiency just before they’re going to start churning out electric vehicles,…

1st: I think the biggest problem is what happened to giant boat-like sedans. Everyone associated them with Grandma going 35 in the left lane with the turn signal on for an hour and abandoned them. Now the 55 and up crowd are all buying luxury trucks and SUVs and are going 35 in the left lane while screaming into their…

My ex and my current had a Rav4 and CRV respectively and I’ve put substantial miles on both, and hate both with every fiber of my being.  I’d rather take the bus than buy a crossover in my price range (I’m sure the Macan is plenty fun,but I’d never buy one over a Cayman).

Do US automakers really care about brand loyalty anyway?

Ask most men, myself included, what “toxic masculinity” means and we’ll assume you’re referring to our entire gender. I don’t know if it’s a problem that an older woman has her own definition for an abstract concept based on her own personal experiences, or that the conversation around “toxic masculinity” is almost…

They should do what I do and use a push broom to clear the snow from the roof of the car.

If this person purposely drove like this, he/she is the reason we have to deal with so many electronic nannies in modern cars. 

Why did you let go below 4000 rpm?

Robert Wickens has been hugely inspiring since his accident.  His work ethic and positive attitude is really amazing.  Plus, he’s been very sharing and open about it -- which must be extremely difficult -- but really allows him to have a positive impact on others.  I wish him all the best.

It’s always been striking to me how drivers who suffer greivous injuries in their race cars tend to want to keep racing. Some of them actually go and make it happen. It’s inspiring! Alex Zanardi getting into that BMW in 2003 was a huge deal for 12-year-old me, no stranger to car crashes and serious injuries. It’s…

This is great. Wickens looked like something special with his consistent performances last year. It would be a racing comeback to rival, or even surpass Kubica’s.

omg just put a dirty towel over the steering wheel.

Is this a typo? Last I checked, 9.7 oz > 8.99 oz.

The Camaro's lunch? To me it looks like the Mustang has eaten the Camaro's face.

The new grill is a hard plastic fishing net. It looks ridiculous!
