Really? I was excited when the prototype was at the car show a few years ago (it had no interior). Then the finished version hit. I was immediately disappointed by the interior.

They did. The ILX is a civic with a price penalty.

True, but Infiniti had a legit 3 series competitor in the G35, G37, and now the Q50/Q60. And Acura does not. Infiniti had a somewhat decent 5 series competitor with the M series which is now the Q70. I think that there are a combo of reasons why Acura has sold decently in the US. But, they are usually thought of a…

The Honda Fit’s a great car.

I hate to be a wet blanket, but I’d rather have a Honda Fit. Hey! I do have a Honda Fit. I feel fantastic!

his own damn fault. You want to be an aggressive sonofabitch on the road, you accept the risk. Hopefully he got a fairly sizable ticket to go along with his wrecked SUV.

I flash my brakes at them first 3 times, if they continue to tailgate I slow down until they go around. This is of course on 2 lane roads. On 4 lane roads I am in the right lane 99% of the time (unless passing). Looks like the guy got what was coming to him IMO.

Here we go. “My culture is different from your culture. My culture does everything right and your culture does everything wrong. My culture is better than your culture.”

That may be, and I thought about that. In another post, I wrote that in Italy (and most of western Europe) you never drive more than 20 Km between a bar and the next one...

A good buddy of mine who had to go to your country and manage the “progress” of 787 components at Alenia Aeronautica, said you folks take 20 minute breaks every 20 minutes!

On the serious side, it might also have to do with the larger distances driven in the US. Long multi-hour car journeys are probably much more common. Also ties into using cruise control. I had an English friend that thought cruise control was a useless addition for the lazy until he did his first drive from SF to LA…

Most cars were sent to the crusher before their odometers turned over.

Porsche: “Well, the jerk store called, and they're running out of you."

Porsche really should just drop the innuendo and put anchor decals and some chromed rope hooks on this thing. The rims can be shaped like a ship’s wheel! And the rear deck lid can be polished teak. The frunk comes equipped with a life preserver! And special Porsche Exclusive 46-position Captain’s Chairs with little…

I think we need a big purple light on the roof of a car to indicate that cruise control is on. Or Possibly a sign that says “i’m not racing you, you’re racing my cruise control!”

Also: the speed limit is not the minimum. Especially if there’s ice/snow on the road. Don’t be that asshole who is tailgating at 60 mph during a winter freezing rainstorm.

What’s bad is that even the small trucks are massive. My dad is getting rid of his 15 canyon thank god but that truck is enormous. Its like driving a Sierra 1500 on the outside with half the interior space. Plus the top of the bed is higher than my shoulders and I’m 6 feet tall. It lacks any practicality and has shit…
