I honestly don’t see the problem with this particular truck. The Silverado is as over-styled and childishly aggressive as every other modern pickup on the road. What we think is irrelevant because I’m convinced the demographic into pickups are going to love this.

I have LED headlights in my car and the IIHS gave them a poor rating, even though they’re a huge improvement over the halogens on my old car. And I never thought the old car was particularly lacking.

The brodozer crowd is going to love it; this thing conveys the right kind of overcompensating macho aggression. It’s for guys who want to show the world that they’re not like every other boring suburbanite: they’re real men who bought the most inefficient vehicle available for getting stuck in rush hour traffic. …

When I was a kid, classmates would draw that S. At the time I didn’t know of Suzuki and I bet my classmates didn’t either, but we all thought that S was cool.

I’ve noticed a new aftermarket fad: flashing brake lights.

This looks like it was designed for upper-middle class yuppies who like to cosplay as outdoorsmen. The interior is more luxury crossover than rugged off-roader but it’s got an LED light bar built right in. So as long as there’s a place to mount a shovel that will never get used, I expect this will be a hit.

As far as we know, there’s no life on Mars. So there’s no one to displace and no environment to wreck. Short of blowing up the entire planet what does it matter what we do on Mars?

People manage just fine in mountainous countries with cars that hit 60 in 12 seconds.

In 40 years, when everything on the road is electric, and likely autonomous, someone is going to find a 2014 Corolla in a shed. Said individual will restore the car and everyone will wax poetic about how full of character that it is and how engaging it is to drive.

Character is relative and often a matter of perspective. For the typical car “enthusiast” character means fast, but then you’ll have automotive journalists criticize a supercar for being sterile and emotionless. More often than not, a car has character merely because it’s a reflection of a bygone era.

If the live action Pokemon movie is an example of how to make anime characters look realistic then Alita is a case study in how not to do it. Either make the entire movie look more stylized or just give her normally proportioned eyes. I also find it odd that she’s got complexion of a 45-year-old woman but is supposed…

Slightly off topic, but if that accident had happened in the US, speed would have definitely been listed as a factor. The cops would have reported that Chris Harris had been, at least partially, at fault. It wouldn’t matter how stupid the other driver had been.

Very intriguing, but I can’t help but wonder a few things: would a small island in the middle of the ocean be safe? What about the Dead Sea? Or a salt flat?

This guy’s work is fantastic and I quite enjoy his renditions. That said, I can’t stand Hollywood’s obsession with “realistic” depictions. It isn’t just the aesthetic, but the color as well, because everything has to be some shade of brown and grey. I personally think it sucks the personality and charm out of…

Isn’t a 4-door TT an A3?

Ford’s decision is idiotic because it’s a response to current market trends and isn’t forward-looking at all. It’s the same kind of strategy that screwed over GM in 2008.

It’s complicated. I’d much prefer permanent DST; I think it’s more useful having daylight later into the day. That said, there are definitely other aspects to consider, especially for those of us living in more northern latitudes.

Wow... That is more annoying than I expected. If you’re going to use a little melody it’s got to be less obtrusive than that.

A car’s position in the lineup is irrelevant, base price is the basis for comparison. The cars you mention start at $14k to $15k; the Impreza is nearly $19k. There are plenty of good cars in that price range.

This guy is a scumbag. There may be legitimate problems with how municipalities handle parking, but that in no way justifies flouting the law. If this guy is unhappy with the parking situation then it’s his responsibility to let the city know.
