That is a good-looking CUV that I didn’t know existed.

“Depends on what model you get” seems like a fair evaluation of Infiniti. There a are good ones people actually want, but these seem like portfolio-filler crossovers that exist just for the premium lot at Avis. No thanks.

The annoying thing is it would have taken so little for it to actually be one of the better options in its class. It’s a good looking car, and IMO just about the right size for most people that feel like they need a crossover. I haven’t understood Infiniti for quite a while. They’re perfectly capable of making good…

I’m on my 4th Infiniti. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Infiniti is the dollar store luxury brand. 90% of the luxury, 75% of the cost.

That said, I’ve had the QX50 as a loaner a couple of times over the last few years. It’s trash. Good riddance.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it until they finally get it. Autonomous cars won’t work until we control the environment they drive it. You cannot program for every possible occasion that a vehicle might meet and don’t even try giving me AI as a fix to that. The solution if you can’t account for all the…

If they released cars with a proper manual transmission, then I would buy one too. Instead, I am importing one from 15 years ago. Alfas should always have manuals.

I’ll never forget one of the car magazine’s long term reviews, which went something like: “Our Giulia spent more time in the shop than being driven, so we can’t offer a fair long term assessment.”

You can’t convince me that BaT is not some elaborate money laundering scheme.

California already trying to get out virtue signaling EV mandates they set. Setting EV mandates with no infrastructure plan or support was destined to be a bad idea.  Biden and Buttagieg came out with massive plans to build 100K charging stations and I think they have built 10....not 10K, but 10.  Hertz took a…

For reference, Stellantis lost almost half its net valuation this year, after recouping over 20 billion last year following the Covid/car production woes/global slump period. Their overall valuation is now lower than when Tavares started, although still higher than the year before. So his presence basically offset all…

F-you about Buc-ee’s. My brother is immobilized with MS. When he and his family travel my sister-in-law has to take him to the restroom. The staff at all of the Buc-ee’s they stop at will clear the woman’s restroom so they can accommodate him and his wife. It gives him and his wife a since of dignity to be treated so…

I’ve been in India, and this doesn’t shock me at all. I’m not familiar with this specific area, and India does vary pretty wildly from state to state and city to city.

Judging by the distance the car went (not far) they probably did try to stop once they saw the bridge was out.

Counterpoint: how stupid do you have to be to continue driving off the edge of a bridge because your GPS told you to

And Google directions is not one of those causes here. With no barricades on the road, this could have happened regardless of what directions someone is using.

Agreed.  If the local authorities couldn’t even be bothered to block off the bridge, how exactly is Google supposed to be aware that the road is closed?

headline should be why an Indian town/region/hwy department didnt baricade a closed bridge. or is google responsible for that?

100% agree, but talking with an engineering buddy of mine, we both agree that both the network and charging tech will need to improve in order to achieve optimal results for the public. No matter how many stations you have, if each car needs 30 mins or more not factoring waits and charger outages, the inconvenience…

Exactly, it’s one of those things that until you have actually experienced it in the seat you can’t really wrap your head around. Matt Farrah who I have brought up multiple times before said more or less after a couple of pulls in the Rimac Nevera he was actually getting sick because the acceleration was that insane.

Agreed, I figure the 3 tiers, 400 or less, 400 - 700, and 700+ cover a good range and each step up requires additional training. Tier one, drivers ed, Tier 2 advanced driver training or equivalent, Tier 3 something like race/rally school. Rally school in particular I have heard can be the most beneficial kind of bang…
