Note: this is not a question. This is an accusation.

That's right.

Maybe if you all didn’t give such a disproportionately large crap about which group of guys gets a weird-shaped ball from one end of a field to another, all the stupidity would go away.

I agree that automobiles are, unfortunately, kind of what fits American population density in a lot of places, but the point is that it wasn't always in the past and doesn't need to be in the future. If it's fair to disadvantage people without cars by building cities to fit those who do, I don't see why there's a…

And I agree; Germany is sort of the posterchild of just how ironically awry things can go, and if the anti-nuke people in other large developed nations were as powerful, we'd likely see a similar back-tracking. At the same time, that begs for more attention to be brought to the positives of nuclear power—which even in…

I don’t think anyone still has their heads in the sand about renewable energy. However, everything else is flawed, too, so it’s just a matter of which flaw is least damning. For some people, that’s the cost of renewable/nuclear energy; for others, its the danger of reactor meltdowns, or the emissions produced by…

So, the syntax bothers you, but then you miss out on the fact that (I believe, anyway) what matters is that there’s an equivalent amount of energy being produced by renewable energy in Netherlands as is consumed by the Dutch railway network. Just as with carbon energy, wherein production/consumption by any particular…

The problem with desired path being used as a kind of be-all end-all measure of sufficient transportation availability is that it assumes that people actually know the shortest, quickest path. Suffice to say, ceterus paribus, it is, in fact, a car, but the reality doesn’t work that way, and although there are…

Your solution doesn’t ultimately solve the economic problem that wide roads help to create: areas of low value. If you design your infrastructure such that there are fewer people per acre (read: single-occupant vehicles), then you have two choices—A. try to squeeze out more money from those fewer people, or B. go…

You should lookup the former Cheonggyecheon overpass is Seoul. It used to be a hugely overcrowded road through the middle of the city’s northern CBD, but when they tore it down and revived the stream it was built over, traffic dramatically decreased without any reduction of throughput in the area.

But by what I understand from what I’ve read of your definition of “legitimately bad cars”, the only metrics are reliability and durability. And as we’re talking specifically about cars from the last decade—where German cars have been, at their best, average, and generally far behind at least the East Asian…

How's the Koolaid?

...How do you not see the differences? In the Crossfire, the roofline essentially extends into and converges with the rear bumper, whereas in this concept, there is a very definite, very obvious (if predictably short) rear deck, in addition to a slight bump in the swooshy-ness of the roofline over the rear seats,…

Quite nice, if not exactly original. Is anything, though, these days?

...Because it’s a silver coupe? Really?

This is why, much though I hate to wait for what I hope will be new and interesting takes on a halo car, I understand both Cadillac’s and Hyundai’s recent admission that they won’t be building dedicated sportscars anytime soon. There’s just not the support for the brand necessary to make people think twice (instead of…

It's far more accurate to say that this is a problem for anyone who presumes sources of authority—whether self-proclaimed or not—is infallible. Whether it's Stewart or Fox News, people should look at what's being said, not who's saying it. And the fault lies not with those who manage to pull the wool over others'…

But I’m so glad that they knowingly and willingly make cars with...subjective styling. There’s so much “objective” styling these days, where it all looks exactly like you’d expect.

First of all, an indicator is not a guarantee. Second of all, they’re still working on driving dynamics...as are Toyota, GM (outside of Cadillac), Nissan, and Chrysler, all of whom have been building cars for far longer than Hyundai have. Little though I know of it, suspension and steering tuning seems to be at least…

So you admit, then, that judging a company solely by what it used to do, instead of also by what it's now doing, is illogical, and you also recant your original silly statement?
