The US has some idiotic regulations regarding lighting: they’re particular about how sequential turn signals illuminate but then are perfectly okay with brake lights serving double duty as turn signals. That said, Porsche’s obscenely complex headlights are ridiculous. Even ignoring the relative unreliability of GPS…

I’d argue that those kinds of consumers have been buying Hyundai/Kia for well over a decade now. The Koreans’ strong point has always been value for the dollar; it’s one of the things that enabled them to gain so much ground on the Japanese.

This thing is aimed squarely at wealthy consumers. They’ve already spent $10k on a computer, what’s another $400? Especially once they’ve rationalized the exorbitant overcharge; these wheels are machined from a solid block of aluminum by a mythical blacksmith in some enchanted factory. It’s not coming out of the…

Isn’t this the sort of thing car enthusiasts have been wanting for decades? A stripped down car that offers only the essentials.

I think you’re mixing up models. The QX50 shares a platform with the Altima and Murano. The QX30 is the badge engineered Mercedes GLA.

I’ve heard this sort of thing is relatively common with pickups. Drivers aren’t accustomed to the extra length and don’t realize that when turning the rear wheel won’t necessarily clear what the front wheel did. You even see it with bigger SUVs, but it’s worst with dualies where guys end up bashing the giant fenders…

This is the last thing we need. We already have idiots installing red LEDs in their headlights; I wouldn’t want to make it even easier for these people to choose inappropriate, distracting and confusing colors.

This truck would look so much better if the roofline didn’t end in a peak, much like that concept from the 70s. That one styling element cranks up the weirdness of this design a hundredfold.

Actually, laptop sales have stabilized and the prediction is for growth albeit slow. Desktops and tablets have both declined and are expected to continue doing so for the foreseeable future. Laptops have gotten sufficiently powerful for most users and smartphones have long since superceded tablets for portability.

You could say the same about so many older cars, especially if they offer the vaguest pretense of performance or luxury on a budget (before maintenance costs hit). A few popular examples: Civic, Altima, Scion tC, Infiniti G35, Jaguar X-Type.

I have the Corolla Hatchback myself and I generally don’t have a problem with how it shifts. It did take a while to adjust, but I figured that came from having driven a dual clutch for 10 years. Nowadays upshifts and downshifts come pretty naturally and with no thought.

My MacBook has the second iteration of the butterfly switches and generally I haven’t had issues. However, it’s ridiculous that this is a consideration when even a $250 junk laptop offers a reliable keyboard. While it’s impressive that Apple has managed to maintain tactility in such short key travel, during normal…

As someone who works in the design industry and knows the pain of never-ending overtime, I wish I could give you more stars.

I never understood the point of speeding up content. I listen to podcasts for enjoyment and to pass time, so why would I want to blow through content?

Let’s not get carried away here. It’s a very nice looking car, but there’s also something vaguely off about the design. A decade is a long time and I don’t think most car aficionados would be hard-pressed to come up with 5 better looking cars. Hell, I can think of a handful of SUVs that look better than this and I…

I’m fairly certain the overwhelming majority of local news stories in my area are computer generated. They’re not even half as good as your example; whoever is responsible has long since given up on trying to make them coherent.

I take it aerodynamics are not a concern. Maybe crawling it will reach 200 miles, because I don’t see this brick pulling it off at highway speeds.

I’ve seen 4 or 5 Supras in the past couple of months. In that time I’ve only seen a single new Z4. By contrast, I see countless new luxury SUVs within a month or two of them hitting the market. From that perspective I’d say the Supra is doing pretty well.

I’m only a bit younger, so I’m not sure if I even saw ROTJ in the theaters. Nevertheless, those movies had a massive presence and I watched the hell out of them on VHS. I enjoyed them all although I think I favored ROTJ because of the spectacle and it concluding the series. That said, even back then I disliked the…

I like how this thing looks, although I have to admit that it looks a bit too angry. I’m also not a fan of the two-tone; Toyota offers the same option for the Corolla HB in Europe and, like this car, it’s somehow disruptive to the overall design. Other than that, it looks at least as good as any subcompact on the…
