A couple months ago you were writing articles on how dare F1 resumes racing, “Game Over” I believe you touted. Now you are lamenting about not being able to see the pink cars? Either root for a sport to continue in a safe manner or scold them for daring to try. Pick a lane.

I am sure they will come back as new EV models but not just 2 door versions of the sedans. They will be on their own design platform and not follow the ICE sedan chassis.

It’s amazing the success of a company that sells items without any real apples-to-apples competitors out there...... yet. Glad to see companies will really need to step up to put an EV into the marketplace, but this sector will become very crowded soon.  I could see Tesla merging with a large auto company within 7

I think a touchscreen is the last thing you want in a racecar.

It’s an 8-speed FZ gearbox. It’s a knock-off the ZF gearbox. 

Didn’t Top Gear have an episode where Richard bought one and it was a colossal piece of shit? Also, I remember about 10 years ago these were trading for around $15-$20k.

VW could just be getting trademarks to preserve the naming rights just in case another company wants to retro fit a Beetle with an electric motor and sell it as an E-Beetle.

I understand why one wants to get a car from the the ‘80s. What I don’t understand is why get a car from the ‘80s to daily drive in the Northeast no less. Cars from the ‘80s aren’t exactly the safest places to be in an accident and modern cars weigh a shitload more than most from the ‘80s so they will just drive

Then why not just put the sensor attached to a clutch pedal so it’s like actually a manual but no direct action with a clutch. It would help people from texting on their phones as you would need two hands.

But this is soooo much better than piano black or a screen where it’s nothing but fingerprints after 5 minutes.

Just call it the keep-your-hands-on-the-wheel-eyes-open-pay-attention-at-all-times-do-not-need-to-actually-steer-or-brake-unless-necessary-only-available-on-highways-with-low-to-moderate-traffic-moving-at-consistant-speed-mode. See? Simple.

Not only a hole in the door but a WHIP Antenna too! 

It’s so you can see the apex cleanly as you approach, oh wait that's what they said for the Senna. Which isn't true either. 

Fleet mpg’s. Computer can optimize mpgs to meet regs. By the way fuck Kinja as it took me 5 min. to get this post done. Why do they keep doing this and then wonder why fewer people visit this site? 

Holy shit, Jalopnik posted a new article! I was wondering if it went the way of Deadspin.

Uh, hello? Is this site still on? Absolutely no articles on 7/12 as of 8:30 EST? Where are the F1 results and the people yelling about how you spoiled it, then the site's statement on how the report sporting events as news? I mean nothing? You cant sell to advertisers if no articles are coming online for clicks. This

Makes me think there might be a market for a Crosstrek with an STI engine. Seems to me Subaru would sell a shitload of STI with suspension travel.

Exactly, if these are just state employees with no actual authority, then why stop?

They did that with PS3. I wish they would change the PS font more to further separate it from the PS4.

Isle of Man TT - E Scooter. They don’t shut down traffic and you need to find a charged scooter after having a couple pints.
