DAAAAAAAMN, look at that acceleration squat!

In fairness, this test was done in the mid 40s and had their heaters on to almost 70.

“I don’t know too many people who drive 194 miles in a day regularly, so I still wouldn’t consider range anxiety too high on my list of things to be worried about when buying a new EV.”

Don’t forget, this was under optimal conditions. Try driving in winter with the heater on and in snow/rain and your range is…

They’re also SUVs with huge frontal areas, but what do aerodynamics matter to range?

Ranked by efficiency:

Immigrant cars doing the work that American cars refuse to do.

I’m speechless, but with 36,895 comments, I haven’t always been speechless.  This post is the best prize ever!  Thanks so much, Andrew!

I’m not even surprised she had the most posts. I’ve been reading and commenting here for probably the whole decade (or close to it) and have read countless comments from and “comment of the day” awards from $kaycog during that time.

Bring-A-Trailer is a wonderful place to see all sorts of exotic, unusual, rare, offbeat, bizarre, impossible to find, and otherwise drool-worthy machines. I’m on the site far too many times every day for sound mental health. It’s fantastic entertainment, like watching the Barrett-Jackson auctions.

That 130 coupe is gorgeous. A design classic. It wouldn’t kill PSA/FCA to offer that body again in some way. Electric or hybrid, maybe? A shooting brake version?

I actually know this one because a former colleague bought her new Highlander ~18 mos. back: If you have a two-person household and a single dog and are American, a Highlander is the smallest vehicle that can possibly transport all three lifeforms simultaneously.  

I am sure they would gladly keep making them, but only if those consumers were willing to pay €10-15K extra for fines that car maker would have to pay for each of those cars...

I do blame easy credit for so many adult toys that encourage truck ownership.

Some are, some aren’t. Depends on the brand, model, and market for that car.

If buying cars was strictly a financial decision, this site wouldn’t exist. The used car fetish here and other enthusiast sites has always been inexplicable to me, especially when (contrary to this article), there are lots of attainable new options out there.

The HR-V is pretty much what they’ll point Fit buyers to if we don’t get it anymore. 

What the hell are you people bringing along that you need so much space?

If you can’t fit two kids and their associated junk in a 3600lb crossover with 35 cubic feet of trunk, you might be an American.

In this segment, I’d take the CR-V first followed closely by the CX-5.

The entire passport system is so stupid and antiquated I can’t believe it exists in 2017. In our area there’s literally three places to get a passport (there was a forth that closed last year). All of the offices are basically in post offices and staffed only part time (or on call) by postal workers who seem to hate…
