EV’s are inevitable, but hydrogen is a waste of time since it will always waste more energy than a plain EV (due to the additional energy conversion steps required to produce, compress, transport, and store the H2).

I wonder how people will do this when the self driving cars take over.

Give it a matte paint job and replace the Ford badges with Aston Martin ones and you’re golden.

Not to mention that centralized power generation and distribution is hindered by being less efficient, less adaptive, and more vulnerable to widespread outages and failures, rather than keeping problems small scale and localized, and easier to solve.

Do they actually calibrate the speedo on police cars?

Classic “suspended with pay”!

Suzuki Kamikaze... that’s definitely it.

Which is the exact purpose of a halo car. I’m still surprised that Mitsubishi killed the Evo for the same reason (even if they just kept neglecting it).

The UK realizes that most of those VW’S will naturally break down and remove themselves from the streets in a few years anyways.

Hah! No one dynos a Passat, in fact they (non-GTI/R VW owners) revel in driving every where extra slow.

I’d go with “won’t”.

BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS!!!!! Those taters are laced with glycoalkaloid poison!

its not all about sheer balls out power

lets face the music folks, the days of old school Japanese performance are dead, unless you are Mazda.

I’d love an AWD Fit, maybe with a wee little turbo in there. But alas, Honda gives us the mini-CRV instead.

The FiST, FoST, WRX/STI are all performance cars based on otherwise boring commuter cars, which I think is the way to go. The manufacturer gets the sales volume they need and enthusiasts get inexpensive performance cars (because 80% is common with a volume seller).

To be fair, “driving pleasure” cars are generally impractical or massively expensive for the average person to the point of being useless.

Dat economy yo!

Everything is bon!

It’s not really fair to compare an ancient and fully depreciated car to a brand new one; of course the new one will cost more. That base ‘89 Civic cost $9890 when new, and in 2015 dollars would be $19 814. That makes the $14 650 not seem so bad.
