It’s that Alibaba is peddling stuff that is a rip-off of some other company’s R&D for less, not that they are ripping you off as a customer. To be honest, though, Ebay and Amazon do the same thing; it’s actually work now to find what I want on Amazon through all the damn sponsored knock-offs, so now the site is no…

Imagine crying about anti-competitive practices after spending the last couple of years literally buying out games that were announced on other platforms to make them exclusive to your shoddy alternative platform.

The Windows Phone was sublime, especially in what I would call its purer form under WP7 (they ditched some of what made it so great for WP8 and WP10). I find both Android and iOS to be a pain in the ass, having had two Android phones and now being on an iPhone. I’m looking forward to the shake-up in store for the…

It pains me to say it, but nobody should be buying a Volvo at all in 2020, TBQH.

No. The 1984 C4 was actually a stellar performer for its time; unfortunately, stellar performance was a 205 HP V8 carried over from the MY1982 C3 and a suspension that turned your bones into powder. The real weakness of the Crossfire L83 is not reliability (that part was a myth), but the fact that its ECU is so…

See!

I’ve been taking a good, hard look at a Volvo S60 or V60 Polestar Engineered and have ultimately decided to walk away for two reasons:

I would not be surprised if it’s also to prevent the Swedish government from nationalizing Volvo once they realize how much of their local economy is now dependent on a Chinese-owned firm and how it prevents them from really speaking out when China does something they disapprove of. IIRC, the German government got…

I would not be shocked at all. Volvo is their key to Western markets, but Chinese prefer to show “China strong!” and will ultimately want to take full responsibility for how well Volvo is doing to showcase such.

Freudian slip there? Volvo is under Geely, though Volvo is now the home of many a former Saab employee. :p

is a good car it’s just too boring for what they want for it

It may not be “from the Swedes” for much longer, given that Geely plans to merge Volvo into the mothership.

The A3 is now also nominally a GTI with AWD, though. For the same reasons they will no longer the pedestrian Golf here, they also killed the 184 HP FWD A3.

They also did “306" or even “310" over in Europe prior to the OPF and new WLTB regs.

The S7 is a porpoise my dude.

As an owner of the outgoing S3, I am unmoved. This thing is a side-grade to the old one in every way and everything they changed is just a matter of taste rather than a matter of utility. Even the power output is unchanged since the old S3 did 306 or even 310 depending on which market you asked and where on the…

Audi’s MQB cars drive better than their MLB cars with few exceptions.

I have to laugh at you being in the greys here. But I’m magnanimous, so I will pull you up.

Yes.

Two things:
