But why still have the giant touchscreens!?!?! Wasn’t it even Ford who was making a point a few years ago that you could still access common controls with your work gloves on? Can only imagine how filthy those screens will get...

This is a Tempest of bad puns.  She was merely trying to Trans Sport some gas, then her car lit up like a Sunfire.

No question is was the late 60's. Going beyond just the shear volume of offerings available (Each GM division save Cadillac and GMC had multiple options, Ford and Mercury each had options, etc) just look at the sales number of the cars. Quick example of the Camaro (not going to bother cutting the numbers too much due…

Unfortunately I don’t think the business case revolves around building a superior enthusiast automobile to rival 90's / naught’s BMWs. Rather it is probably something around having a captive ad audience for whatever unfortunate amount of time you spend being shuttled around in one of their autonomous mobility pods. I…

Ah yes, the war on drugs ads of the ‘80s.  This is kind of a second tier to the frying pan “this is your brain on drugs” though.

As a reformed auto engineer, I always like the books that get “under the hood” of the industry:

Pretty sure that’s a Mazda, dude

Make the CRZ the car we all thought it would / should be

The SSR returns on a C8 platform! ASC is back, baby!

Wholeheartedly disagree. Once you join another series you’re out to pasture for the most part - Kimi is the exception. Once you’re out of the paddock you’re out of mind. He carries good sponsorship money and you never know what will open up next year. Pull an Ocon / Kvyat and get a development seat and bide your…

I just want to see what the Coen brothers can do with this script

Sounds like a great idea!

Wholeheartedly disagree. This is widely seen as “peak Camry,” and “peak mid-size sedan.” This is a relic of Toyota over-engineering and over-building everything, and is cited as the reason Ford spent an extra $100M+ on development of the ‘96 Taurus (although then Toyota cheaped-out on the next Camry).

Was going to point out that they were trying to ride the Addams Family / Munsters wave, but apparently both those shows were cancelled in ‘66. Oddly they were both on TV for only like three years, while the reruns seemed to be on Nick at Nite constantly 30 years ago...

If only the Russians would have done a bit more research on their would-be accomplice:

No Chrysler apologist here, but I think you whiffed on the context of where Chrysler was in the early-to-mid-90's when this was designed and rolled out:

You’re about 30 or so years late on this - Lexus vs Infiniti has been like one of those early Ronda Rousey fights, over before the bell quit ringing.

Nascar backmarker Lake Speed defeated Ayrton Senna in a karting championship.

So is Lebron telling Daryl Morey to just shut up and manage basketball? 

Plot twist - it’s a road course and 19 just took the lead after everyone else spun out.  Red “One Eye” Moonshiner credits his victory to a special chemically-treated tire that sticks to special chemically-treated tracks.
