That’s only a problem for Americans. Europeans had no problems with diesels and were perfectly content with them clattering away like a Mack truck.

This looks like the typical mid-cycle refresh. I suppose it’s okay as far as these things go, but it’s not particularly compelling either. That Acura badge, however, looks like serious overcompensation.

Rewatch the video. It looks to me like those were all amateurs sharing the track with the Miata. The GT-R blows past him on a straight, but this guy actually starts catching up through the bends. It’s just that the course straightens out enough that the GT-R is able to maintain its lead. On a tighter course or against…

Vipers were never really praised for their interiors. That said, materials and designs have progressed so much in the decades since that most old cars end up looking crappy. The 90s were particularly bad with their overuse of ovoid shapes.

Why does every one of these dipshits claim to be “self-made”? They’re successful for one of two reasons; they had the right connections or access to money. If anything, they’re the antithesis of self-made.

Is it me or does this look like the SUV version of the Carbon Motors concept?

In some states, like California, retailers are not allowed to run misleading pricing and there are time restrictions on sales. A couple of years ago Kohl’s was sued by LA’s attorney general over this. I thought there were time limits on sales in my state, but either I’m mistaken about that Kohl’s is flouting the law. D…

Why do young Americans get a kick out of being inconsiderate assholes? They almost act like it’s a right. It’s doubly obnoxious when they pretend they’re sticking it to the man like they’re some oppressed underclass.

It’s $40,000 for a Bolt running relatively new technology. 20 years ago we had the EV1 which didn’t even come close to the capabilities of this car and was only available as a lease. In another 20 years most, if not all, cars might be electric, and that will $15,000 econoboxes.

Ride share bikes are regular bikes with some colored plastic cladding and stickers to identify the company. There’s nothing unique or novel about these bicycles. The company just purchased whatever some factory in China is churning out.

Inflation is a factor, but cars have also gotten considerably more expensive. Of course, one factor is all the tech that’s crammed into a modern car. Safety tech is understandable, but most of it is just toys that appeal to consumers.

What German car with 100k on the odometer doesn’t need work?

Nissan replaced the Juke with the stupidly-named and aesthetically-uninspired Kicks. It rides on an updated version of the same platform, but is manufactured in Mexico instead of Japan. It’s basically a lifted Versa.

That livery is uninspired and pretty damn ugly. I also don’t understand why they wouldn’t have used the LC instead.

People aren’t doing 120mph on the highway, least of all in the slow lane, and most people aren’t doing full throttle launches at every light. Your typical driver is hitting 60mph in maybe 25 seconds, so even if the CR-Z has to work a slight bit harder it’s far, far from being dangerous.

There may be a paint job that makes this car look good, but this isn’t it.

I can see why they shot this concept in the dark. The car doesn’t look particularly good in daylight.

I personally think the Stinger looks too much like a Jaguar sedan with a few extraneous bits tacked on. That weird strip that extends from the taillights is really distracting and doesn’t match any other styling element on the car.

That’s bullshit. The Iranian player was clearly trying to fall into Ronaldo both impede him and draw a foul. Ronaldo was clearly trying to get around him and at worse was trying to shove him out of the way. In any other game that would have been a no-call, but at worst a relatively inconsequential foul. It certainly…

I’d argue that the very nature of drifting is a major restriction.
