There are lost of all-coach airlines where every seat is the same. No special amenities for anyone, and no walk of shame whatsoever. I would be interested in breaking out the data from those airlines to see if they saw fewer air rage incidents. If they did, to a statistically significant degree, this study might be on…

Entirely correct, at least according to my personal sample size of one (myself).

Exactly. My oldest daughter is still about 10 years away from driving, but I’ve already picked this out as her first car. I hope they keep making it long enough that I can get a used one cheap.

I want to address that guy as “Thomas” and talk to him condescendingly in a snooty British accent.

UMMMM, why didn’t you consider CADILLAC?

Nissan is officially the automotive equivalent of Kip in Napoleon Dynamite. In its own mind, it really, really, really does think it’s hot to women and training to be a cage fighter.

Brian France is a stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!! There, I said something disparaging about NASCAR leadership. Fine me too, big guy. What a pussy.

Anyone can build a car from the inside out to rival the S Class. That’s not hard. Hell, Hyundai did it and Kia too. The “luxury” appears when you get out of the car, step around the front, and see the badge on the grille. Luxury today is all about perception. Cadillac currently doesn’t have that perception, except for…

Build Elmiraj, you bitches.

I see no air vents whatsoever. Will it have any climate control ?!?!

No matter how good it is, it’s still a minivan. You could fit it with a goddamn flux capacitor and time travel capability and a lot of suburban families would still search as hard as they could to rationalize reasons NOT to buy it.

The Transit Connect minivan variant looks funky... not all squared off like that, but still fairly distinctive.

Substitute “station wagon” for “minivan” and all the spirit that went into that piece still holds true.

I agree. The first thing I thought was “wow, that’s probably the best unintentional advertisement for the Town Car/Crown Vic I’ve ever seen.”

I would have range anxiety. What if I get all the way to the end of my driveway and the battery dies?

Oddly, Uber doesn’t appear to be too concerned about this. Otherwise I couldn’t possibly imagine why they wouldn’t want to edit some of the text on their main Internet home page. For example, these lines still remain at the time I write this (Monday morning):

It’s fine to use the big, kinda-loud, very-thirsty V8 if that’s your thing, but it’s a misfit for what the SS is trying to be. Personally, I would love to see this car with the 3.6L TT motor currently going into the CTS Vsport.

Remember child seats. I need to insert BOTH of my kids into 5-point harnesses every time we get in the car... you get used to it after a while.

Remember, this is the company that markets its 4-door, FWD, CVT-powered sedan as a “sports car.”

Oh, fuck me, that’s bad looking.
