I paid more for a S5 Sportback than a S4 would cost. It looks better. I love the hatchback. And it’ll retain more value so the net increase by the time I sell won’t be very big.

It’s ugly

Counterpoint: it’s literally slower than a Camry.

The emphasis on power and 0-whatever times has really ruined fun....Hell, track times as a point of concern are also fun reducers. What car feels best when you hammer that 90 degree right at 4o mph during the school run, or assault the roundabout on the way home from the grocery store at sub handcuff speed?

If they weren’t meant to cook kebabs, they shouldn’t have put ‘Lamb’ right there in the name. 

If you ride a bike without a helmet an acorn could probably kill you too.

Honestly, it's not the Miata that's tiny...something's off with pickups in general, but that's not exactlt news either.

I dunno, I read the whole article and I don’t see where Jason was out of line. It all sounds pretty reasonable and not especially hyperbolic; radar can do things cameras can’t, Tesla’s cameras aren’t even particularly sophisticated, and the deletion of radar will impact some features. This is a topic I’ve seen…

And here I thought Dodge Vipers were for camping...

You remind me of the stories my grandmother told about growing up in the very early 20th century, one of which involved a local doctor who when he finished making house calls would tell his horse to take him home, and go to sleep in his buggy.  He always made it home. 

“The map changing” is one of the most difficult challenges in autonomous vehicles. In most non-ADAS SDV systems like Waymo’s and the other SDV competitors (Cruze, Uber/Aurora, Lyft, etc), the map acts as an unquestioned source of ground truth in order to significantly simplify the autonomy problem. The map can be…

Your stupid for saying that.

I’ll take an actual contributing comment over a snarky “you spelled something wrong” remark. Let me guess, you’re the reigning spelling bee champion?

I’m shocked that they're so amped up about the livewire brand. Hopefully they continue to charge forward with little resistance. 

Both my air and cordless impacts allow you to limit the tightening torque, so I just put them on the lowest setting and finish up with the torque wrench.

Exactly. I’d be buying a car today if I were in that scenario. 1 year to live probably means 6 months of no driving as various systems in the body start failing. And giving up 2 of those waiting for a kei car convertible. F’s sake.

I’m not sure paying a lease payment monthly (plus a down payment), none of which you’ll get back, is a better financial decision than buying an already depreciated car that you will be able to sell for about the same as you paid for it.

Black cladding makes every car look like a beater subaru.

Uh, Mercedes Streeter? Time is of the essence with this one, don’t you think? “...if you can wait about two months...” isn’t really an option.

Sure guys a dick. But a 15 year ban seems a little harsh, especially if it's a first offense.
