Can someone explain how harder licenses people will have to get every couple of years will do more than actually enforcing traffic law effectively?

Gran Turismo tiered licensing isn’t the answer because driver’s education isn’t the problem. Safe driving isn’t hard at all. There are two things we could do that would make driving instantly safer.

I don’t disagree, and people hiding behind legal procedure to justify immoral acts makes my skin crawl............ but selectively enforcing laws based on one’s arbitrary moral compass is just as dangerous. Everyone is the hero in their own story, be it bad cops, shitty landlords or anyone else you can name who hides…

Pieces like this show how lazy and clickbaity this place has become. MSRP is irrelevant. It’s very easy to find a new car for under $20K:

How often do you think a used Corolla is leaving anybody stranded?

What’s the rush? Non Tesla EVs are pretty much stillborn. Cadillac has much bigger issues to address. They shouldn't bother with this at all

A whopping 70-80K cars a quarter in a market doing 14-17 million cars a year. Yea let’s go bulldoze all the gas stations right now.

I don’t know if BMW having more electric stuff to sell right now would’ve saved its bacon this quarter, but it would’ve helped.

The selective enforcement/non-enforcement of law is one of the biggest problems with the US today. I get the whole “we were just following orders” thing, but we also have a legislative process that is still relatively functional. 

Problem is Ford needs the markets for capital. They also need it for executive compensation. Shareholders would raise hell. It will never happen

5th gear- am I missing something? The vast majority of vehicles on the road still use gasoline/diesel, and EV marketshare indicates that will be the case for the foreseeable future. COVID-19 has had an impact on travel, but I don’t think it’s permanent, and if it is it won’t be to the extent that it kills gas stations…

I’d argue his premature push to EVs is detrimental to the world, not saving it

I think it’s fine to prefer and enjoy the manual transmission.

For EVs, sure.... but for hating on people buying more vehicle than they need? Why is that OK if the vehicle type is popular?

For me the 500 is CP at any price. I can’t think of a sport compact in the last 20 years I wouldn’t get before any 500. Especially for $10K!!! That’s a clean 8th gen Civic Si which is better in basically every way, besides “Italian charm” which is just a euphemism for excuses.

What does that have to do with anything? 

How is a 20MPG pickup used for nothing more than commuting any worse than say, a 20MPG Nissan Z? You do realize it’s possible to enjoy cars without shitting on people who don’t share your preferences or being a total hypocrite, right?

The F150 hybrid has a battery the same size as one in an Accord Hybrid. Even if it scaled by weight, you’re still only looking at something like a 2.5-3kWh battery rather than the 150-200kWh battery needed to give a 5000lb brick decent range. EVs are already dubious, but EV pickups make absolutely zero sense right now.

Electric pickups are the height of stupidity IMO in the context of reducing emissions and battery scarcity. Say a full sizer needs 150-200kWh of battery for the 400 miles of range I keep hearing bandied around. That’s 150-200kWh of battery to replace 1 truck worth of emissions.

Which would make it insanely slow for its power/weight ratio. And would shatter its reputation once the tuners got a hold of it. It’s all irrelevant anyway. Genesis’ manual is dead.
