Because...they won’t be able to sell a different car if it becomes more popular? I’d love to hear the reasoning behind this.

The Enclave, Traverse, and Acadia are basically the same car, so it would be surprising if they didn’t finish together. Hooray badge engineering!

Because mom (or dad) can carefully open her door without hitting the car next to her, unlike the kids in the back of the minivanModel X, who would otherwise fling their doors open with the reckless abandon of youth.

I don’t think it’s just LCDs. I have driven plenty of cars in recent years which don’t have LCDs, but have plain old analog gauges are always lit up whenever the car is on. I thought it was kind of silly at first, but it’s nice when you go under an overpass or something and can still read your gauges. I guess there is…

Especially considering you have to watch the car chase scenes at half speed.

I love being able to commute by train. Driving is way more fun when you don’t *have* to be somewhere at a specific time.

Just a word of warning. I drove about a mile (very slowly) on a dirt/gravel road like this in a park a few weeks ago. The car didn’t look that dirty other than some dirt mostly behind the rear wheels (see photo taken later in the day), which was washed off soon afterwards. However, last weekend I was cleaning the car…

Nice Price. And great writeup, minus one little complaint:

Or which wheels are the drive wheels, for that matter.

I wonder if Nissan’s connection with Renault might have anything to do with their position?

I once watched a coworker who drove a Chevy Sprint berate another coworker for driving her foreign Mitsubishi Colt. I guess she would have been OK if it was a Dodge Colt...

I’m with you except for the snow. I used to daily drive my NSX, but when I moved to Chicago I no longer needed to daily drive anything. I could buy winter tires for it, but I worry about other drivers. Now I just park it for most of the winter, and take it out on the occasional nice (if cold) day.

Are you sure about Subaru? They have vehicles from 2003 to 2011 on the list, I wouldn’t exactly call that a short stint. In fact, it looks like as of 2015, they still had not dropped them:

I believe the recall only affects 2001 and newer vehicles, so your 90's vehicles are safe...unless they were added in the new expanded list which hasn’t been released yet. BTW, the original list does include 2002 Accords, so you might want to double-check that one. You can see the older list here http://blog.caranddriv…

Because 25 years ago, every car had a hand-assembled engine with titanium connecting rods, variable valve timing, variable volume intake, revved to 8000 rpm and produced 90hp/L? And had a list price on a replacement engine of $30,000, which incidentally is about the same as the entire next most expensive car Honda…

Rumor has it they showed it to some existing NSX owners who felt the design looked too downmarket compared to the original NSX, so the car was scrapped and they went back to the drawing board. When NSX production ended in 2005 and Honda showed the engine-in-the-wrong place V10 monstrosity concept in 2007, I suspect…

What is the worst kind of propellant? This article seems to imply that things used to be better, and became worse on more recent vehicles due to money-saving tactics on Takata’s part. I have a 91 Acura with a driver’s side airbag, so I am curious.

I assume you’re aware that you also won’t be able to buy anything built by BMW, Chrysler, Ford, GM, Mazda, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota or VW without potentially ending up with another faulty Takata airbag.

Interesting to note that the “half assed” Ioniq has a longer (claimed) range than the Nissan Leaf. Is the Leaf a failure too? Nissan’s managed to sell nearly 100,000 of them.

I must have missed the part where newTG cast was talking down to their audience.
