There were times during this game where the number of errant passes made me feel like I was watching an MLS game. In the end, while I was rooting for Tottenham, I feel like the weaker team made it through.

Given that economists are forecasting a global economic downturn in 2020, I don’t understand why “experts” are expecting a rebound in auto sales in China.

Remember that awesome compact sports car everyone was excited about? Well, here’s a tired, outdated sports car in the same livery, just to rub it in your face and rekindle your bitterness.

The upmarket Jeep Renegade aesthetic with its pretend offroader accoutrement is quite insufferable. At least it’s got an interior to match; even with that giant display, Mercedes has somehow managed to make it look busier than an old school interior with a ton of buttons. Trying too hard might be a good way to…

Given how many Model 3s I see on the road, I don’t think the people buying them are all that concerned.

My kids never ate in my cars and so I’ve never had this problem. But then we’ve always discouraged them throwing their food around. I don’t understand why so many parents lack such basic fucking parenting skills. This stuff really isn’t that difficult.

I’m not looking forward to all the Patagonia* clad man-children driving Jeep pickups encrusted with off-road gear they never use.

These 2-stroke dirt bike motors are the worst sounding internal combustion engines ever made.

It’s a fact of life, although I wouldn’t necessarily say insecurity has anything to do with it. People at all economic levels do this for a variety of reasons. My huge problem with all this is that the rest of us have to sacrifice so that the upper classes can sustain their lifestyles.

It’s a relatively clean design but also quite bland. Ford grafted on the styling of the Focus without adding enough to make the Escape distinctive. It also doesn’t feel sufficiently contemporary; I could easily see this having been a last gen model released 7+ years ago. In that regard it reminds me of the Nissan…

He meant the 2019 model:

Fiat has struggled because they’re so unreliable. The 500 was a hit right up to the point that everyone was reminded why they had left the US to begin with.

Seems like a bit of snobbery to argue that the Fit’s styling isn’t worth considering because it’s a cheap car. On the other hand, to speculate about a design covered by camo wrap is a bit ridiculous.

Oil changes have never been difficult enough that I feel the need for something like this. Although, it would be tempting if any of my cars had the filter on top of the engine.

That’s because they ARE bad cars. The Fiat 500 sold well when it first hit the market, so the demand is there. However, all the problems scared everyone off.

In this day and age a display in the center stack needs to be touch sensitive. Ignoring consumer expectations, even with buttons and dials you still have to look at the display to interact with it. So at that point it’s easier to just reach out a hand and tap on what you want. In fact, I’d argue that navigating a…

I think there’s too much fixation on lap times. All the aspects that result in Indy cars being slower is also what makes them more competitive and entertaining to watch.

I don’t consider a $1,500 price difference in the same territory. That’s almost an 8% premium over the cost of the Civic or Corolla and with options the 3 gets quite pricey. It’s not that the new 3 isn’t a nice car, it’s that the other two are equally good in most areas. I appreciate that certain aspects might be more…

Granted, it’s anecdotal, but I see more Tesla’s than ever, and it feels like Model 3s already outnumber the Model Ss.

You’d think that at this point Toyota would finally use an engine of their own. Given overseas markets I expect anything over 2 liters to be off the table. However, it would make sense to leverage the new dynamic force engine either with a turbo or, more compellingly, with a hybrid drivetrain.
