Right, but no one is surprised that it beat the Camaro, which isn’t a car purpose built to only go in a straight line.

DEI is discrimination. Pandering to special interest groups will never create equity. 

Ford was never choosing between helping or hurting people. They were and are trying to sell more cars. Nothing more. DEI initiatives are marketing, they broaden appeal, For most companies there is no moral imperative behind DEI activities. Now that the right has gone full blown open culture war, they know they…

This was a surprise to whom exactly?

When Ford adopts DEI policies, it’s about making more money. When they abandon DEI policies, it’s about making more money. They don’t care either way, they just want to maximize shareholder value. This should not surprise anyone.

Not a car, but a bike. Talk to me about your Harley and I 100% know we are not going to be compatible.

Other than the Thrift Store Boombox not silver, not nickel trim, I don’t find these that bad.  I know where the controls are without looking, everything is easy to find and although the cheaper vehicles have Rubbermaid looking plastic, at least the costs are low.

EVification of three-row crossovers and pickups is just the most monumentally stupid use for battery tech. Take an already giant heavy vehicle and make it doubly so by adding enough batteries to get it 300 miles. It’s just bonkers and I’m frankly happy to see them cutting back on this. Six figure SUVs are similarly…

Honda Pilot: ...decently put together, but drab, boring and full of buttons.

No it runs. If you watch the video, him and his wife ride up on it in slow motion. It’s cringe. 

I agree with the sentiment that this is rage/clickbait. I would believe that particular bike wasn’t in running condition. This is just a dipshit looking for alt-right clout and a free new bike. 

Have you seen the price of new minivans today?

I was interested in these when they were first announced and I thought they would start at $45K. Then I realized that they were going to be more expensive and my interest has waned. 

And how much will VW dealers mark these up above MSRP?

Yeah.  I’m waiting for a Sienna Prime, but I might have to downsize to a RAV4 Prime if my current minivan dies before Toyota releases a plug-in hybrid minivan.

This company is a husk of its former self. The cuts have been deep and it has probably caused good people to leave for more stable ventures. One person can not solve this but one can completely destroy it.

They won’t sell because of the build requirements for people’s unrealistic need for massive land yachts and unnecessary 300+ mile range.

That’s a really cool wagon, and in really good shape, and really expensive.

And Suzuki told Harley to fuck themselves with the Intruder 1400 / 88.1 cubic inch.

That Harley-appeasing displacement tariff also brought about the delightful jewel that was the CB700SC Nighthawk S, an ‘80s Honda for which I have approximately 1000x the want as I do for this.
