They’ve been very successful in F1, but never while they had great road cars. In the 80's they were an F1 powerhouse, then fell behind when the F1 road car came out. Then they found their form again and had many more great seasons... until they got back into the road car business with the MP4-12C. And with the steady…

You left out anything with raw onion in it. That can stink people out 15 rows away....

That’s great info, and encouraging!  Maybe it’s just slow in our region... I hope I can do my part to change that.  Well, by getting one vehicle anyway...  Thanks! 

“Each carbon ceramic brake disc takes seven months to create...”

Yeah, I hate it when companies limit the options on certain vehicles to only certain trim levels. I’m pretty sure there are even some colors on the Stinger that are only available on one of the GT trims.

I don’t know if you realize it but you accidentally attached a picture of a Mercury Sable. 

I’m really, really excited to take one of these for a test drive in the fall. There are finally some lease deals being advertised on them (well, at least on the 2.0T models that I’d be shopping since the GT trim levels are out of budget). It’s sad though that people really aren’t buying/leasing them at all. I’m…

Haha that’s great. It’s not even the fact that it’s a brand-new car that bothers me; if somebody rolled up in a Demon or Viper or GT I’d be glad they were there because those are cars you don’t see every day.

When my wife and I were in Montreal for the Grand Prix, we walked around downtown a few times at night and there were all kinds of awesome cars rolling around, like dozens of Lamborghinis, dozens of Ferraris, even a few McLarens, Astons and GT-Rs. The only people revving their engines trying to draw attention to…

This is cool and all but I look forward to Nascar in 2030, featuring a field of autonomous race cars that turn into battle bots after the checkered flag and seek revenge against the bot-car that “done them wrong”.  That might get me to start watching it again... 

This is really the best justification for a driverless racing series I’ve heard.  I enjoy racing for the element of driver skill, but it’s also a lot about the machines and the crazy engineering that goes into them. 

I think the light he’s referring to is different than your traditional map light, which can be turned on or off for both driver and passenger.

It’s not the most exciting vehicle, but it’s still pretty handsome in my opinion and I think it’s aged a lot better than the Taurus or anything from GM in that era.

So... Richard Hammond? 

Probably a good strategy. An old Fleetwood would have easily absorbed the bump that sent him into the spin.

Interesting, thanks for the info!  I wonder how Mazda’s new compression-ignition engine would compare in a similar setup...

I’m not saying unions didn’t or don’t have their place, but the UAW isn’t exactly a shining example of what a good union can be. Many factories in the midwest and south, across many different nameplates, have operated successfully for years without a unionized workforce and without major problems with employee…

I would argue that a company like Volvo, being people-focused and steeped in a more compassionate culture, is less likely to require unionization to have good, safe working conditions.  Unions sometimes have their role but in this case I really doubt they’ll be necessary. 

Does this share a platform with the current GMC Acadia? I remember the new-generation Acadia being smaller than the old model, which was the same size as the Traverse/Outlook/Enclave/etc.

Only a year or two ago the Toyota Camry was named the “most American vehicle” based on its parts content and final assembly.  How is it not on the list at all now?  Did they move production?  Did they drastically change the sourcing of parts with the new design?  This list seems incomplete to me, or utilizes a…
