The concerns about supercharging networks and universal adapters will be a mute point in a model cycle or 2.

Or hydrogen maybe?

Probably because staring at an empty podium at a Trump rally is more exciting than listening to her babble on.

Well this is what can happen when a company is based on nothing more than hype and creative marketing. Maybe if there was actually a product that did what it was supposed to do?

Most customers don’t give a hoot about all of VW’s issues. Cars are about image and status. I was at a Japanese hibachi about 2 weeks ago and the girl there was telling me all about her new 2013 diesel Jetta that gets 50 miles per gallon and how she just loves it. I asked her what she thought about dieselgate and she…

Wait, is that an Opel Manta riding piggyback up there?

And no surprise he’s a fan of NAFTA considering the cars Ford imports from Mexico and Canada and then calls the ‘North American’ built, like they aren’t imported.

Unfortunately that’s the direction this media network has been going, and it’s dragging Jalopnik and it’s sub-sites down with it.

The unions are having a hard time organizing in the southern states, like Kentucky, because there is just no need for them. The Toyota temp workers start at $16+. There isn’t anything else in Georgetown that pays that for unskilled labor. Those are temp to hire jobs and eventually turn into $26 an hour with the best…

Yes, he will make diesel great again!

You mean like on the Apollo project that sent man to the moon and back. Yeah why would they use an antiquated measuring system like that when they could use the metric system that hasn’t accomplished anything close.

Forget it Jose, this will never roll out the door at Blue Springs. US only make boring toasters that make money so the Japanese can afford toys like this for themselves.

The smug is killing me in this vid.

As someone who doesn’t live under the thug boot of state tyranny that demands annual or biannual safety inspections, consider yourself lucky. I know it’s expensive and limits modifications and all that. And as a lover of freedom I hate to take my position, but you just don’t know what it saves you from. Between the…

Ouch. I work for that car company you mentioned. And yeah, you called it. A company full of coffee drinking, sweater wearing hipsters with no love at all for the automobile or 25 year lifers that are just here for the benefits. Manufacturing side is different sort of, there are some real enthusiasts, but where I work…

These might be unpopular views, but I think Porsche was in the wrong. Legally not so, at least as the law stands, but ethically so. I will explain.

How is Musk the guy responsible for the inception of the hyperloop? Do you know why he claims he will “open source” the technology for this hyperloop of his? Because none of it is his original ideas and he can’t patent or copyright the tech or ideas. For Pete’s sake, General Motors had a working prototype up and…

A White one with white pleather and big bull horns on the hood?

Post WW2 USA? Are you friggin serious or just seriously stupid? Post WW2 USSR maybe. And how has Socialism worked out EVRYWHERE else it’s been tried? Ask the millions of dead Soviets, Chinese and South Americans that tried it already. If you like bread lines, and mandatory government service than I guess it’s for you.…

I’d agree, but the European regulatory agencies are also turning the screws. Maybe it’s all for show, maybe it’s legit, but they’re getting from everywhere and not just the US.
