That’s true, but not this much bigger. It was always narrower and lighter, too. 

Yeah it’s weird that the ‘4' is now bigger than the ‘5', though I guess the 4's more rugged persona fit the CUV theme better. Still, Renault’s making a mess out of their heritage bringing back numbered models like this willy-nilly. What’s next, an 8? A 4CV?

Yeah in like ten years. Surely it can’t cost that much to have one or two around. Or maybe buy a Sienna hybrid if it’s that much of an issue.

I still don’t understand why Tesla doesn’t do a fleet-spec Model S. Wouldn’t that be the perfect slot-in for the full-size interceptor role?

Because automakers are chasing any efficiency gains they can. These can cut nearly 5% of drag if well engineered, and the OEMs don’t care how expensive they are to replace—that’s more money in their pockets! Just thank the NHTSA that at least they’re still banned in the U.S.

YouTube would never touch cash cows like these. Just look at the SniperWolf situation and how much it took for YouTube to even remotely care. Regardless of Alphabet’s finances, YouTube still has to pull their weight; just look at how much they’re cracking down on adblockers. 

The older Equinox (and it’s platform mates) were awful from a reliability standpoint, but the newer Equinoxes aren’t actually bad (based on the several months I worked for a GM dealership last year). 

Are there actually manufacturers using Peltier cooled seats? I thought most were just ‘ventilated’ and blew air through the pores to dry sweat. I didn’t realize there were any that actively tried ‘cooling’ the air.

Also his whole dishwasher thing? Like I get that rationally and logically dishwashers are faster, cleaner, and more efficient, but that’s overlooking that in countless cultures ‘doing the washing up’ is an act of love and care that people do to show appreciation for each other.

Best counterargument against it that I’ve heard is that hydrogen isn’t a fuel, it’s an energy storage device. That means it’s lossy when produced (mostly from fossil fuels, as of 2024), lossy when transported, and lossy when used. All that means it’s pretty inefficient all said and done and you’re better off just…

And cost them all that watch time and ad revenue? YouTube will bend over backwards to pander to these idiots as long as they keep their watch hours up. 

GDi was hardly the only problem with later engines but yeah, the port-injected era was a good one at Hyundai.

I do see more Kais and Hyundais running around these days, but it pales compared to the number of Teslas.

Liberty here, Cherokee in all other countries. 

I don’t understand this take. To me the 2019 is hideously overstyled with too many creases, swoops, and worst of all that UNIBROW. The new one takes the nice shape and fixes all of that crap. 

One is an XJ Cherokee one is a KJ Cherokee.

No Asian brands but I suspect that will change as the M3 and MY also age out in a couple of years.

That’s fair enough. I just think that local emissions reductions shouldn’t be discounted as ‘useless’ if they are able to improve the lives of the people who live in the area. LA smog is already thousands of times better than it used to be thanks to CARB.

Just because it won’t have some grandiose global impact doesn’t mean the folks living there aren’t going to appreciate not having narrowboat diesel fumes in their faces each morning. Pointing out things like this is overlooking the populist benefit of reducing local emissions. Surely fewer emissions along the canals…
