Too bad she's so crazy. She's almost pretty.

The Smart weighs a lot less than the X, and the energy has to go somewhere. The X's crash structure will have to absorb a crash with probably 3x the mass of a Smart or more. The Smart also isn't a 5-star rated car, and the buyers of 100k family wagons don't buy ones that aren't safe.

It seems unlikely that the doors could easily clear a 6'2" man standing in the car and also clear the inside of a parking garage, or even a regular garage. A regular garage with the door open barely clears the roof of regular SUVs. I guess Musk thinks that hatchbacks open 90 degrees or something.

The hatch just blew! It was a glitch! A technical malfunction!

That would've worked 50 years ago (see Econoline, VW, Corvan, etc.), but crash structure dictates a two or three box look today. Not just in the US anymore, either. Now it's best to try to make everything work in the shape that can be easily made to protect people, it just coincidentally happens to resemble a car…

You're right about badge placement. Every time I see a new Jaguar, I imagine the medallion properly centered and sigh a bit. If this is becoming a trend, I hope it dies fast.

Shouldn't it be called the Scoupe?

The probable cost of replacing the A/C has to be subtracted from the car's price (I live in TN where A/C is necessary at some point during 9 months out of the year). Combine that with a 4 where I'd prefer a V6, and my top price is about $2,000.

You're going to ridicule that as torture? That film of driving on dirt was clearly slowed down so the churning of the wheels would look dramatic, but certainly abusive. The simulated crash looked pretty similar to IIHS' bumper tests, and left the car with no damage. Aside from the spokesman's obnoxious tone, that…

Though not NP for me, $5,500 has become sadly low for VW Beetle prices. I have to say NP simply on the basis of being a decent Beetle, ignoring even anything special about its birth or life story.

"Matthew Broderick? As me? He's too white bread. He's too 2 dimensional. He's too too Tootsie, goodbye!"

Weak. Broderick should be ashamed. Honda should never have done that, but Broderick should've known better. That 9,000 rpm sound? It's no longer coming from an S2000. It's the sound of John Hughes spinning in his grave.

Here's a close-up of a very similar system from a Cord. Tuckers were often said to use junkyard Cord transmissions. You can see that it's neither a 3 speed nor is it regular "on the tree" linkage.

Not automatic, no torque converters. A Tucker has a regular transmission in every way except that it uses an electronic preselector rather than a mechanical linkage to shift. Move the knob to your future gear, press and release clutch and it shifts.

Little ring to the right of the steering wheel runs a preselect 4 speed with a regular H pattern.

He's not "enjoying it." He's wondering why there aren't any Reese's Pieces in it like there were last time. WHERE'S MY CANDY!?

Every once in a while, there's one on here so absurd that you have to wonder if there's even reason to ask. Any votes besides the obvious are meant as a joke (currently 11 votes & 4.1% NP) and actually get too many votes. I think we could skip this one.

I actually watched Human Centipede on Netflix and made the mistake of leaving it in my instant queue. A friend of mine picked up the Roku remote and that was the very first thing he mentioned seeing in my queues.

The only way I'd prefer the English one would be if it remained stationary in the garden of my council estate as a place for my chavvy sons to blaze up or my wife's lesbian lover to sleep as she pines for a love lost.

Starting with a 10 year old Dodge Caravan for $1,500 would get you something that would be just as useful and able to be driven 70 mph on real highways to the campsites.
