That’s a slope I want us to slide down... 

Nothing can stop it, except for VW delaying it until it loses all relevancy and diluting the style until it looks like any other mini-van.

I bet it’s a 2-Series Gran Tourer underneath.

Making minivans cool is the first step to getting people to buy them in droves again.  The TJ Cruiser is definitely a step in that direction.

Yeah! All that thinking makes my brain tired!

He is right though...

You can love cars, but still think they are sometimes the wrong tool for the job (see dense urban city).

Wilder sounding W8?

start charging people criminally for running over cyclists and pedestrians

One thing about Utrecht (and the Netherlands generally): car drivers are automatically liable for any injury or damage in an accident with a pedestrian or cyclist.

$6.8K is play money when it comes to beater purchases.

Having a color screen in the first place is foolish. There’s no benefit to such a thing except to make the thing flashier. A monochrome display is easier to read in different lighting, displays all the information you’d need it to, and is likely way cheaper. It also looks much more concise.

“My guess he/she was born after 1985 and felt entitled to not have to deviate his/her path.”

Man, you suck. You’re over here cheering the thought of people potentially (but not really) getting shot cause some asshole stopped their car where they shouldn’t have. 

Yeah, how dare a pedestrian feel entitled to use a crosswalk! Those things are for cars to sit in.

paying to install thousands of charging stations around the world.

You want to cite those battery fab CO2 costs? Everything thing I have seen about them has all the scrupulousness of the old Hummer vs. Prius bullshit. 

The Model 3 SR+ starts at $38,990 - less than this. The Leaf has no active cooling system, so its battery is likely to decay far faster than the 3's.

Wait is this the article that brings together the jezleratti and the Jalops?!? Finally! Peace in our time!
