Europe also uses tractor trailers and diesel powered large cargo vans to move goods around. However odds are that the vans commonly used by small independant businesses are mostly diesel in europe vs mostly gasoline in NA. The majority of our GM and Ford based vans and the smaller sprinters and transits are gasoline…

Sorry Michael but I prefer this:

It's probably a good thing then, that north american markets have very low Diesel adoption rates.

The "commission Charbonneau" was dearly needed and several decades overdue. The massive cleanup this will do in the end will benefit every one and every single public service sector in the province. Assuming it works as intended.

I can vouch for blizzaks. I pretty much forced my dealership to give me those for free on my 2014 mazda3. By far the best winter tire I have ever driven on. You should look into downsizing the width of your wheels. Unless you plan on using all 300+ HP, you wont need 295 wide tires. Heck the narrower wheels will help…

The streets aren't just sideways in Montreal bud. In Gatineau, even the damn highway has a sideways incline thats severe enough you have to counter-steer in a brand new, perfectly aligned car. It's even worse if you have a sports car that has a wheel and suspension setup that makes the steering want to follow road…

Seems like there are a lot of Ottawa jalops! I commute to Ottawa daily from Gatineau and the "slows down to a crawl" part is pretty much par for the course on both sides of the river as soon as it gets remotely cloudy outside. I agree that winter emergency driving classes should be mandatory. Our driving schools are…

Honestly, anyone from my family as well as friends of mine in Ontario can vouch for the difference winter tires make. Even with stricter driver training, driving is a skill, not an instinct. It still amazes me how we all agree that not everyone is made to be a math wiz or an all star athlete but we assume a huge…

Reminds me of my purchasing experience for my new Mazda3 a few weeks ago. The Finance Manager was trying to sell me on the extended warranty, talking about all the advanced electronics in modern cars. I stopped him right there and told him: "I'm going to stop you right away and save you the pain of being told no after…

I cried of laughter.

Sorry, read that article yesterday and I still have no sympathy. Mostly all poor excuses and false assumptions. I live in Canada, the great white north with lots pf snow and ice in winter so I can safely refute a lot of these claims:
1)geography is a poor excuse. I live in a geographical zone called the Canadian…

Good god, my friends know me for my constant dirty references. but you just outdid me big time. I wanna bro-fist you so hard!

Ill fight the first point. From experience and witnessing my own close friends. American cars may be great value but the reliability aspect is shoddy as hell. I have a 2012 mustang and i've had my rear sway bar replaced twice and ended up going aftermarket for a permanent solution after number 3 screwed up. Had to…

I guess my comments did not work.

So the Mustang V6 with 53/47 weight distribution is hilariously bad in that regard? And the handling is so bad it tied a 350Z with track package in Car and Driver's lightning lap despite being limited to 112mph for many seconds per lap because of a governor? It also is known to have a very precise steering and great…

Already chose the Mustang. Could of had the Camaro at a good discount seeing as I have a close relative who's an engineer at the GM plant where they make these.... pigs... Never test drove the Camaro but after sitting in one I didn't want to either. craptasticly cheap and ugly interior, flimsy flexing e-brake handle,…

Price is my issue with all the cars you mentioned above up here in Canada(fellow Canadian here). And Price is the reason why I went with my 2012 Mustang. I had a specific idea in terms of what kind of features I wanted in a car: Performance, Handling, Ride, Sound system, bluetooth, USB connectivity for listening to…

Having an iMac and a Macbook pro, I would say their products are more associated with Aluminum than the colour white(My main machine is a custom built windows 7 PC so fear not). As for not all cars looking good in white, I agree:

As a "Millenial"(I'm 24 going on 25), I'm deeply insulted that GM marketing would automatically bunch my age group and brand us all as god damn hipsters. I don't wear Alt. fashion and I have no piercings nor tattoos. Fun is not "fun" at all. Now if you Excuse me, because I actually care about cars and driving, I'm…
