All of a sudden it hits us: the collective tragedy that was the 1990s automotive sedan design... many different platforms, yet all were eventually molded into the same ubiquitous nondescript lump.

The article states “Americans have already placed 370,000 orders for the Model 3, proving that the market and interest for an affordable electric car exists.”
As an unarmed black bear....
Up in Central New York, some 28 year old dude wrapped his car around a tree while chasing Pokemon. Wicked awesome that.
They were at a road course last week (Sonoma), so they worked their feet about 1000% more than they do at a normal cup race. That might have had something to do with it.
And, dont’ forget, they’ll also be able to sell you one of those “battery wall” things to store all the solar power so you can still charge your car if it’s dark when you get home.
Bye bye Spartanburg! Your days are numbered.
This happens a lot in many industries. For example, look at the printer in your office. Chances are, the same company makes a more expensive model of that printer which can handle more pages per minute than yours. And, chances are, the more expensive model is EXACTLY the same, part-for-part, as your cheaper version.…
So true. After putting out a whole range of innovative and attractive products since the bailout, it’s almost like GM is saying “We really miss the 1990s! Let’s go back to the days when we made the world’s BEST rental cars! White bread for everyone!!”
Enough is enough. Time to disband all of these air display squads. The money could be put to better use elsewhere.
This is no worse than what Toyota does to market to the 40-year old, middle class, child-rearing suburban simpletons. Now there’s a demographic who’s profoundly stupid about cars. Perky, white-as-mayonaise “Jan” tells them a Camry is “sporty!” and “fun to drive!” and they flock like zombies, hanging on her every word.
For some perspective, I love watching on some of the vintage 80s-90s MotorWeek segments available on YouTube. “Zero to 60 in 14 seconds!” Those turtles drove the same roads we have today, and they were somehow able to manage.
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.
