If 5 people are dead within 6 months on the same stretch of road, then yeah, questions need to be asked as to why it keeps happening. Aviation, like many things, learns from mistakes and accidents, hence why plane travel has become so safe. Car accidents and roads should be no different. Killing innocent members of…
A tragedy clearly - but for me, the biggest issue is the very last line in the article. 5 crashes over the last year with several deaths!? there’s clearly an issue here, whether it’s pilots not being certified correctly or liberties being taken with safety protocols but I hope the NTSB gets to the bottom of it!
wait, so you mean I *could* have got the Model Y Long Range for $39k previously!? REALLY? When!?
I actually feel the complete opposite - I love the exterior but find the interior kinda dull and the lack of needed buttons could get annoying but hey - that’s the beauty of car design. Different strokes for different folks! :)
Online works perfectly well for new cars. I leased my Highlander all through an amazing dealer found on Leasehackr and the only interaction was going to pick up the car and for our ‘free’ subway and coffee at the dealership. It was the best experience so far. However, this doesnt work as well when it comes to used…
Where? There are almost 1000 units listed on Autotrader alone. Compare that to something like a mainstream GLE450 where there are less than 300 listed....They’re not selling.
The interior was always the biggest let down of the current NX. The people that bought them wanted RAV4 reliability with a more bougie badge. That’s literally it. I considered a hybrid one for commuting but it just didn’t appeal. It doesnt really look like they’ve fixed the interior. It’s nicer than the outgoing model…
I think this is going to suffer the same problem as the Jeep Gladiator in that the manufacturer is vastly overestimating the desire for these. They’re nice and all but the price is obscene and reliability seems to be even worse than could’ve been predicted. There’s already some inventory sitting on lots as dealers ‘kno…
uhm can we just take a moment to appreciate that C-Class Wagon though! It’s SO pretty. Our northern neighbours are *so* lucky to have that option.
I’m just a bit confused by these words.... “I bet you could bolt in a V8 from some old Nova or something to keep it going on the cheap” - firstly, as a Brit, this made me shudder. To even contemplate giving an aged Queen who is already down on her luck and quickly losing the shreds of dignity she had left....an old…
This is one of the reasons why I don’t think I could daily drive anything more than 5 years old. I know we’ve had safety tech for a while now but I am certain that curtain airbags, crumple zones and a whole host of other built in safety equipment saved more than a few lives here. If you get into an accident like this,…
The bit I don’t really understand, still...is the cost element. The example of the Up! is interesting. Does it actually COST VW more to produce the e-Up compared to the ICE equivalent and thats the reason why the MSRP is so much higher? are those costs solely down to the battery or drivetrain? or for re-engineering an…
I’m no Tesla fan boi - I’ve never driven one. But I will be seriously considering a Model Y for my next vehicle when my current lease goes back. Why? because the price is ok, the network is good and the range is class leading. Taycan’s and GT’s are all very well and good but nobody buys them in numbers anywhere near…
See I 100% get it for classics or something like a 911. They’re special. They were always special. Weekend cars. Fun cars. Sports cars. I totally understand how they get stuck in a garage or barn or whatever. Something breaks, it sits, stuff snowballs. That makes sense to me. But a mass produced truck? or a Honda…
I’m forever surprised at the amount of fairly normal cars that are bought brand new, driven home and then never driven again. I get that weird things happen, owners die, can’t drive etc but there just seems to always be a supply of such things. I can’t imagine just leaving a brand new car to clutter up a garage. An…
If they actually do re-badge Peugeot’s as Chrysler’s which makes the most logical sense, then...then....this means I might actually have to consider buying a ‘Chrysler’ which is not a sentence I ever thought I would actually say in my lifetime.
It’s a fairly simple formula. Design a comfortable, technically advanced product which is well designed and appears good quality (even if long term reliability is questionable) make sure you have a great line up of SUV’s that are just the right size for what the market wants and BOOM. Sales success. I’m biased because…
