In China, about 70% of the 1.2 million electric or gasoline-electric hybrid models sold over the past year went to government and company fleets,

If Tesla didn’t call it “Autopilot” then stupid people (who don’t read the fine print) wouldn’t think that it was one, and wouldn’t do dumb shit like this.

If you think this was insane, Juicero was absolutely the stupidest waste of money ever:

GM has been a company hamstrung by battles between engineers and beancounters. They once made cars that were looked up to as some of the best designed and most desirable in the world, in the 50’s and 60’s (albeit with some of the inherent quality shortcomings of the times). This was the company that brought the C2…

The answer to what question?

Thank you for all of your funny, interesting, and educational writing over the years. You are my favorite automotive writer. You will be sorely missed by many. 

Like others have said, I would love to see the numbers comparing Uber with other pubic transportation services, particularly ‘regular’ taxis. I don’t know if the data are out there, but I’m going to search intensively.

Thank you!

Maybe, but the 3,045 people who were sexually assaulted, and 19 who were killed, probably wouldn’t agree.

WR Blue, the classic WRX color. It puts a big smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. 

Thank you for all of the entertainment and enlightenment over the years. Best wishes in your next adventures, wherever the road may take you. 

If Nissan, oh, I don’t know, maybe made cars that people actually wanted to buy, and educated its dealers in ethical sales practices, they wouldn’t be in this situation. 

I too bought a WRX this year (as my “practical” daily driver), and am absolutely thrilled with it (even if the ride is a little stiff for my equally stiff 60-something bones).

My sister was in the exact same position as this buyer. She bought a Subaru Crosstrek with a manual, and absolutely loves it.

Major kudos to Subaru for going through all the headaches and expense of building this car and making it available to enthusiasts.

I actually did cross-shop a new Mustang GT vs a used F-type (V6 manual). The Jag is indisputably an absolutely gorgeous car. I bought the Mustang GT, because 1) I didn’t want the Jag dealer taking a vacuum cleaner nozzle to my bank account for all maintenance and repairs (and all the associated hemorrhoids of frequent…

Have you ever actually personally driven a S550 Mustang GT?

So, basically similar looks and performance to a Mustang (GT or Shelby), but at 2-3x the price, much less reliable, and much higher service costs?

I’d rather just not look at it at all.

No, it’s not at all unique to Nissan dealers. My personal car buying experiences (I’ve owned well over 100 cars in my life, about 1/3 of them bought new) have found that Nissan dealers have been the absolute worst of any brand I’ve ever shopped or owned, by a wide margin.
