Unfortunately, the automaker lobby has a lot more cash and influence than the Skyline hoon lobby.

And my Precheck status becomes a little less valuable with every passing day...

They have a pretty powerful lobby, as proven in the whole bailout situation and, to some extent, the (ironic in this case) anti Tesla rulings. The subsidy will be around for at least a few more years.

If this is GM's shot, then GM is missing the entire point about the Tesla. The Tesla is awesome because it's NOT a car designed around having an ICE that's been converted to electric, it was designed around being all-electric from the onset. Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but I expect this to be garbage.

Yeah they have to bring here so we can all say how much we like it then we can sit back and watch as the market doesn't buy it. Definitely.

Or you could just, you know, wait until you've made into to the terminal before yapping on your phone. If the flight had interrupted you talking someone through open-heart surgery, by all means...proceed. But it's never like that. It's always, "Hey. Yeah, just landed in Charlotte. So...uhh...what's up? You around this…

And then you pay $200+ to replace the starter from excessive use.

King: You're in that 1 percent, though?

What a nancy. Real men do it like horses—while walking and having a chat.

The Regal is basically a Vauxhall/Opel insignia that's had a cheap nose job. When the Insignia was launched it was considered not far away from the now old model VW Passatt and now soon to be replaced by the Fusion, Mondeo. It's no way in the same class as the 3 Series or C Class?

More like, hope you don't mind we murdered 74 people...

...remind me again why anyone ever bought stock in this company?

Always fun to see GM diehards get upset.

Additional relay = additional cost. It's all about the money.

Remeber how bad Firestone took it regarding the deflating/separating tires on the Ford Explorer? Firestone pretty much disappeared from the consumer tire market (deseverdly so). GM deserves the same thing. Shame since the new Corvette deserves its accolades, but GM sucks forever.

Not really, it's a Volt in fancy clothing.

Maybe it was these people...

The airlines have brought the carry-on annoyance upon themselves.

B) The next time there is a Horsepower / Torque explanation topic on Jalopnik you have to use this video and that comment. That's the best Real World example I've seen of it.

"Horsepower is how fast you hit the guest's car in front of you and torque is how far you push it."
