It’s pretty simple. This thing doesn’t have street cred and appeals to only those who know what it is. It’s the same problem the Genesis has. What’s a Genesis? I’m not into BMW at all but it’s common sense why someone would choose a BMW over this Kia for similar money.

Great, now can you update the fucking infotainment system to this century? I love the BMW iDrive controller gimmick. Every car should have one. Now just make it a touchscreen, adopt Android Automotive OS, and you’re set.

There’s no law against Washington calling their football team the Redskins or Cleveland calling their baseball team the Indians and, yet, those names have been etched away going forward (pour one out for Major League, thou). What changed? Nothing. Nothing except the threat of taking money off the table. The asshole…

I’ve been a front-midengine homer (not boomer!) practically forever. While I lusted after Ferraris as much as the next guy growing up, I’ve always seen the Corvette as the most attainable to pretend I’m driving the Batmobile. I’m talking about the KeatonMobile. That long hood. And knowing that Batmobile’s…

Is this the set of Ready Player One?

It’s going to take a long time for Lucid to have a seat at the table that Tesla now occupies along with the other big auto companies. It didn’t happen overnight for Tesla. It officially was started in 2003 and their first car was launched in 2009. They re-started the EV industry and, now, everyone else wants a piece…

How much will this synthetic fuel cost? How is it made? Is it sustainable? What’s the HP/Torque penalty, if any? There’s a lot of questions. If synthetic fuel does not require us to dig up dead dinosaurs to create it, great. If you still need dead dinos anywhere in the process, then it’s a stop gap measure. With EVs,…

He was laughing cause he figured he could push the bitch over when she least expects it. Then tell his Russian backers, hey, it’s fine, this Rose woman had it the whole time. She threw it overboard, then I threw her overboard. No need to fret. Now we know it exists and where to find it. If they don’t cut his balls off…

I think you hit it. The proverbial nail on the head, as it were. It’s a tech brand. It’s a high tech, expensive tech brand, not unlike Apple. For me, even though Tesla is a car company, I group it in more with Apple and other high profile Silicon Valley tech companies than with traditional auto manufacturers. Lexus,…

I respect your opinion. Fit and finish has been and still is an issue for Tesla, no question; however, I would not equate fit and finish with economy, premium, luxury, or any other label (not saying you are). Good fit and finish should be a minimum to start with at any level, no matter the price of the car. Having…

The military battles have moved to cyberspace. That is where the Americans are severely hurting and they need to step it up and take it to Russia, North Korea, and China on that front to have any sort of standing or their threats will continue to be treated as idle and ignored.

Great stack of images there! Yeah, something looks off about the Artura. Looks more like unfinished concept. The proportions do feel off. You’re going to say what is he smokin (wouldn’t you like to know) but first thing that popped up in my head was a turtle shell, as in the TMNT turtle shell. Like a half bubble…

I get that these cars are for a particular clientele. Most people don’t have $225k+ budget for a car (their 3rd or 4th car, let’s be honest). For me, spending that much on a car which the manufacturer is pitching as a daily and hearing a V6 is under the hood is rather disappointing. It’d be a hard pass for me if I was…

Some people may not think Tesla is luxury but ask the people who are buying them. They’re not cross shopping Toyota, Honda, Ford, or Chevy with Tesla. No, they’re stepping out of Audis, BMWs, and the Mercedes of the world and becoming Tesla converts. Decry fit and finish all you want but Tesla belongs in the same…

We’ll see if this move pays off for Jaguar. In all honestly, they probably didn’t have much choice. Jaguar hasn’t been lighting the world on fire. If this doesn’t work, maybe Tata Motors sells Jaguar. Cadillac is going full-on EV eventually. We know Volvo is, too, but hasn’t set an official date. Makes more sense to…

Good. They were made for each other. Easier to pick out the Nazi Sympathizers. Here’s hoping the provider is just as careless with its users’ personal data as is Parler.

Blue Lives Matter silent when it’s not one of their own. What a shock. Also were silent during the Capitol attack and haven’t said shit about it. Deep-rooted, institutional racism is very real. The treatment by police in the US are a few steps away from the atrocities under communism in former U.S.S.R. In some ways,…

The transportation infrastructure has needed some real TLC for decades and decades. We have bridges which are still not Earthquake proof. And in an EV future, the government needs to step up and make it a reality, just as Eisenhower did with the Interstate Highway System and NY’s own Robert Moses who’s influence on…

I’ve seen the Bentley SUV around town. More than a few. It definitely looks distinctive, only because it’s a rarer site than a BMW or Mercedes but I don’t think it looks better. It’s striking for sure. Not beautiful. There’s a certain type of buyer which is drawn to it. It doesn’t appeal to me but, then again, I’m not…

Oh, look. Yet another Mclaren. I swear, they release a new Mclaren like every month.
