Of course the city that gave the world Donald Trump has problems with self-reflection.

I guess it’s a career they could see themselves doing. 

Somewhere there is a Pagani owner thinking of buying this car to have a spare set of rear lights! 

I love all the comments that are like “why doesn’t anyone make a simple manual rear wheel drive sports car anymore?”

Nissan seems to be a fan of keeping old platforms going for a really, really long time. The current Frontier goes all the way back to 2004, which might be a record (for Nissan at least). Even the current Leaf shares quite a few parts with the first generation, which goes back to 2011, long after most of its…

370z is still a great car, The base model is a priced well for what it is. Infiniti sells the spaceship you’re looking for.

I never totally got into the 370z, but the 350z, i still have the promo dvd from the autoshow, where it's nothing but a 350z driving balls out through some city in italy/spain.  The location never really matters, what matters is that they managed to release it with almost no music to cover over the engine sounds.

I remember back when I didn’t understand texting. If you have your phone in your hand, just call me, k?

So you are saying it’s the Lada Niva of sports cars?

Compared to its contemporaries, it hasn’t held its own, especially for the price Nissan charges. The 370Z is a good and fun car, but it’s no longer competitive. Buy a used one and have a blast. 

Truck marketing is a funny thing. As soon as you offer a cheaper, lower-spec “Suburban Dad Special” you won’t get any sales. We’re all pretending to be general contractors.

GM: It will have a payload of 750 lbs, with an optional 2,000 lb towing capacity. Range will be 100 - 120 miles on a single charge!

I think just super-uninformed.  Back in the day, my older brother had a C5 Corvette.  Needed to go into the Chevy dealer for a pop-up headlight which wouldn’t pop back down.  He had to go to work, so my dad (who knows nothing, absolutely nothing about cars) took it in.  Except, he took it into the Chrysler service…

Answer: Because some people are so stupid that they don’t even know what kind of car they own.

Of course they didn’t. They’d have to be in-style to go out of style.

So what you’re saying is that market trends are moving the auto industry into a Soviet era type manufacturing strategy? Produce one automobile and screw the comrades who don’t want it — they’ll take it anyway?

Only 5% of buyers want wagons - kill the wagon

Kinda funny, Tesla is banking on the 140k units moved for the model 3, but when Ford or Chevy moves even 170+ units (like the Fusion), they’re like “nah, this isn’t worth the time, kill it.”

Chicken tax means that you’ll never get a cheap Land Cruiser, so it makes no sense for Toyota to sell a stripper version
