Per one billion vehicle/km: U.S.: 7.1, Germany: 4.9. and per capita figures favor Germany somewhat more. The ones that surprised me were Japan at 8 and the U.K. at 3.6.

Taken on it’s own merits the car looks good to me but as a Bullit tribute it just doesn’t work that well without the retro styling of the previous generation.

Then there’s his time at Chrysler... the man certainly knows whereof he speaks when it comes to car companies going down the tubes.

I agree with you when it comes to the interior (the exterior is bland but alright). It looks like David Lee Roth and Donald Trump got together back in 1988 and designed it while on a 72 hour cocaine bender.

Considering how many times the word “SMART” shows up in the video trumpeting what a technological tour de force the system is, yeah, you would have hoped they might have considered using something as simple as the sensor garage doors (or even the touchless car washes at gas stations) have. Probably blew all their…

The original iDrive was bad enough to stop a friend of mine from trading in his 1999 M3 on a newer BMW. The good news was he spent the now freed up cash to buy a nice glider.

The 737 is a smaller airplane than the 380 but Hope BC is a much, much smaller airport so this is all the more impressive:

An unreliable, ugly, underpowered and overpowered, boring, impractical but boringly conventional car from a sleazy manufacturer that is only driven by people who are foolish millennial middle-age crisis baby boomers who drive slowly obstructing other traffic while simultaneously driving insanely fast cutting other…

They likely wouldn’t have been so unpopular if they had worked reliably. They were a huge pain in the ass. The troubleshooting chart and schematic for the interlock in my first car (a 1974 Capri) made up a major part of the electrical section of the manual. Fortunately all you had to do was unplug the harness under…

Great, then you end up with an ugly Civic and possible warranty problems. I was quit hopeful about the new Si and it was due to come out right when I was in the market for a new car. Reading about it filled me with trepidation, seeing it made me grimace and driving it really disappointing me. Really a shame as I’ve…

When I was car shopping about three months ago the BRZ and 86 were in the finals. I was puzzled by the fact that the Toyota cost more than the BRZ when similarly equipped. At the time there was a “limited edition” 86 here in Canada that had pretty much the same equipment as this new GT version so it was like the…

You say that like it’s a bad thing:-)

Don’t be silly, it’s a DeHavilland Mosquito.

Regarding the second scenario - if a woman hates AC/DC just walk away. That’s almost as big a red flag as finding out all her ex boyfriends or husbands have restraining orders against her.

Here in Canada a base Guilia has an MSRP up there with a BMW 3 series... that just may have something to do with the slow sales. High price, unknown rputation for most car buyers (or a dodgy reputation for those who actually recognize the name), the doubts about quality and reliability that come with it being an FCA…

“all that tells me is that you could have made an even better car and the market would have been able to bear the cost of the performance of that car”

Thank you, Peter Mertens for reminding us that VAG is a criminal enterprise run by unethical bullshitters who most likely try to have frequent intercourse with their own mothers. A criminal enterprise run by unethical bullshitters who most likely try to have frequent intercourse with their own mothers that makes some…

Nah, Ralph Nader would only be concerned about the pre-63 models. And with those he would be just fine with them being parked in a field.

The Type R is ridiculous looking - but after looking at it for some time I’ve decided that it’s the only current Civic that I like the appearance of. The overly fussy and cluttered design of the new Civic actually works when you add all the Type R crap. It’s not beautiful by any means, and it’s still more conspicuous…

I live in Vancouver. The BR-Z is one of the candidates for my next new car purchase coming up soon. So is the WRX. Now I know for sure which dealer won’t be getting my business if I do go for one of the Subarus. Even leaving aside the general sleaziness, the charge for unapproved work and the possibility they may have…
